Every time I saw the radar of our area on The Weather Channel this week, conditions looked much worse on TV than they really were at my house. Many of you who know (or at least have a pretty good idea) where we live checked up on us, and I appreciate it. As it turns out, Isaac wasn’t nearly as bad as the tropical storm (whose name I have already forgotten) that came through last fall.
It was jarring to hear of the cafeteria shooting earlier this week of Daniel Borowy, a student at Perry Hall High School in Maryland. But it was uplifting to see the immediate outpouring of support on Twitter of his classmates. Their support launched two hashtags: #PrayforDaniel and #GagaVisitDaniel. Daniel is a huge fan of Lady Gaga and his classmates are trying to get her to visit him. THAT is what inclusion will do.
Keep Daniel and the rest of the Borowy family in your prayers.
Great news! Baby Megan came home earlier this week! She, her parents, and her big brother have a long row to hoe, but what a miracle she is! Please pray for them.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much for today’s sunshine! I really enjoyed this week’s snippets, especially hearing that Baby Megan is home! Please keep us posted, especially if there is anything the family needs. I’m in Denver and can rally my friends for donations if that would be appropriate.
I apologize for adding my own snippet to your list, but I’m still riding high from a call I got yesterday from a parent at my first grader’s school. We moved this summer so that our daughter with Ds could go to a neighborhood school that believes in inclusion (moved out of a neighborhood with three elementary schools, each of which is set up on the 1970s exclusion model). For all I know every first grade girl’s parents get a call encouraging her to join the Daisy troop, but it was important to ME that WE got that call. The mother knows my daughter has Ds and extended a heartfelt, warm invitation to the troop. It was awesome for our family to be included in the neighborhood and school.
Thanks again!
