Can I recommend this to you?

I'm not usually a "linking" blogger, but this made me cry.

    Yes indeed. But a sad indictment on us all, regarding our thoughts about how people look versus who they actually are.

That's why, I think, I burst into tears today. Our church has always had a weekend away, a weekend where we would get together, eat (sometimes sub-optimal) food, fellowship, listen to talks, chat, swim, play, etc.  But next year it's not happening.
