Show Some Love for the Human Heroes

Love this reflection on a young Christian singer who has multiple diagnoses. Thanks, Rosie!

Rosie's Writings

Do you remember that question they asked in elementary school? You know the one: “Who’s your hero?” Well, the good Christian kid probably shouts, “Jesus!” but if we are relegated to people who are not God, it gets a little harder. As a kid, I would probably go with Laura Ingalls Wilder. If you asked me today, I’ve got a few lined up, from people I know in real life to celebrities (they’re celebrities in my mind, anyway) I’ve never met.

Top “priorities” — my “shiny squirrels”

What I’ve prioritized instead of my “Must Do!” list are the various “shiny squirrels” I’ve chased so far today.
