Resting with Jesus
Monday, August 15th, 2005Jennie Vecchione March 7, 1925 – August 15, 2005 Nonna rests with Jesus tonight, after a five-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She entered eternity surrounded by family at 1:35 this afternoon. More to come.
Nonna may not make it through the night
Sunday, August 14th, 2005She’s been in a semi-conscious state since returning to the hospice on Tuesday, and essentially unconscious since Thursday.

Thank you, from the Stevens family
Friday, August 12th, 2005Matt asked me to share this with you all: Dear Friends, Words cannot express how grateful we are for all that you have done and continue to do for our family. Your support, presence and prayers are holding us up through out this experience. We are overwhelmed with the love you have generously given us. [...]
Get over it
Friday, August 12th, 2005[Click the image for a larger view] Even at 10 years old, Caleb found time to keep a journal. Not everyday, but often enough that it contained some profound insights. One of my favorites included a sketch, with a caption that reads: “I always have faith in God. Somedays I don’t feel like it but [...]
“Give me this mountain”
Thursday, August 11th, 2005“Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the [giants] were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD [...]
Too poetic to be missed
Tuesday, August 9th, 2005Sometimes God speaks with the gentleness and symbolism of a poet. Here are two divine musings from this weekend. Saturday morning, Matt and Katy discovered that a dove built a nest outside Caleb’s bedroom window and laid two eggs.Cradling his son Caleb at the accident scene, Matt told him it was okay to go home [...]
Heros
Tuesday, August 9th, 2005Matt and Katy Stevens are amazing. I’ve been a big fan for years, but never more so than this weekend. Despite suffering the worst kind of heartrending tragedy — the untimely loss of their son — never once did they express despair, rage, bitterness, or any of the other emotions one might expect. Grief, to [...]
Live Well
Tuesday, August 9th, 2005Caleb did. The Celebration service on Monday lived up to its billing. That a ten-year old boy could have touched so many and left a legacy of compassion and kindness is a testimony to great parents and authentic, child-like faith. Kudos to Pastor Kevin Harrison of Gospel Tabernacle for conducting the service with grace and [...]
