In the book of Joshua (chp. 4), twelve stones (one for every tribe) were set up by the Israelites to remember the Lord doing a great work (drying up the Jordan for the priests and the people to cross), so that when their children asked what the stones were there for, the people could remember and tell them what God had done.
So this is my meager "stone of remembrance" for the great things the Lord has done, specifically for allowing my husband to be alive this very day with me.
"Our God is in the heavens, He does whatever He pleases" ~ Psalm 115:3
Two years ago, the Lord put Himself on display as he took my husband to death's door, and brought him back again. We can always send you more detailed info if you're interested, but for now, the sermon Don't Waste Your Life, by John Piper, is a great summation of the urgency and passion for Christ that the Lord has brought about in our lives through this event.
We head to UCSF on October 22, for a follow-up MRI, not to mention a much anticipated date at Zazie's

Wow, can't believe it's been close to two years now. The Lord is gracious and good. I'd like to hear more about Zazie's...what do you like to eat there?
