Jessica and Anna Invite Us In

Sorry for the lack of actual content in my posts lately. I just haven't had the time, or the internet.

I wanted to let you know that two of the most thoughtful, wise, interesting, compassionate, talented people I know - my two sisters - both have incredible blogs.

Jessica is a registered nurse in Macon, GA. Her blog is therapy for her. Recently she wrote one of the most wonderful entries I've ever read about her struggle to remain humble while serving her patients.

Anna is an interior design and art student at UGA. She is currently spending a few weeks at the L'Abri Fellowship in Gretham England. L'Abri is a collection of homes where strangers come to live, work, and study in community with one another. I can't describe it all here, it is much too beautiful, but here is a quote from their website which will give you an inkling:

We strongly recommend that you leave your laptop at home. You will not need it at L’Abri. We suggest this not because we are against technology. Rather we have observed that laptops all too often tend to be an unwelcome distraction. In coming to L’Abri, you are setting aside a period of time to focus on important questions related to the meaning and significance of your life. A laptop will not help further this objective. We do however welcome all musical instruments.

I just can't tell you how broadly I'm smiling after reading that last sentence. Anyway Anna is there now, living the dream and finding herself in ways I wish I had done a few years ago - in ways I still have yet to do. She has 30mins a week to use the internet and write to us her about her experiences on her perfectly titled blog, the art of being brave.

I love these two women so much. And even though you don't get to be their brother, I know you will too.
