While shopping downtown,  I found a little street urchin.

He told me his story:

His outlook was bleak.

He’d even spent time behind bars.

And he had big shoes to fill:

Yet still he kept his chin up.

His plight so touched my heart, that I took his hand in mine,

And took him out for ice-cream.

Keianna and I enjoyed a photo adventure on the last day of 2008.  We'd been waiting for a calm and bright--even if cold--morning, and siezed the day when it came!  Even at that we made lots of "warm up" stops along the way and found a place in town that mixes up delicious dairy-free smoothies.  (I had mine with the dairy, 'Anna took hers without.)

December 2008 was a special time for Keianna.  She had her fifth birthday a week before Christmas, then right after Christmas prayed and committed her life to serving Jesus.  Her love for Him has been evident for several years, but her understanding of our need of a savior has only recently matured.
