A special mention in todays blog to Emilly Kersetter - Emily is a courageous 17 year old girl who has demonstrated grace, heart, healing and forgiveness in her incredible journey to recovery after a senseless act of voilence more than a year ago. Emily offers something very rare - the innocence, sweetness and beauty of a 17 year girl who - while affected by this brutaltiy - has refused to let it define her. She is as sweet now as she was before her injury. Yes, there are inner scars as well as outer - yet these only add to the beauty of her being. She has much to teach us and we have much to learn.
Today Emily took her first steps that beared the weight on not just an injured leg, but as well as the weight we all must bear in trying times. Emily walks tall, with grace and beauty and I privledged to walk a bit beside her her.
Thank you Emily.
