Notable and Quotable: Abraham Lincoln
"...I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."
Like his predecessor that he so admires, may this be President Obama's prayer as well.

Encouragement from an Unlikely Source
Ever find yourself so discouraged that you cannot find your way through a difficult situation? This is where I am with an issue at work.
Honestly, this thing has been gnawing away at me for six months, and regardless of how much I work on it and pray about it, little is changing. But get aload of this:
Today, as I was praying and reading my Bible, tears began to fall down my face as I struggled with this one same ongoing problem. I told my wife later that I didn't know how much more I could take.
Tonight, as I am paying our bills, I come across a new letter from our Compassion International child in Bolivia. The letter is written by our little girl's mother and includes this line: "She wants you to know she is praying for you and has this verse from the Bible for you, Philippians 4:13."
Of course, I know this verse- "I can do all things through Christ Jesus who gives me strength." In God's goodness and love for me, He chooses to use an impoverished little girl from Bolivia that we love and support to encourage me. Just goes to show sponsoring a child from Compassion is a two way blessing in more ways than we know.

Sunny Day at the Beach
Manhattan Beach, that is. My youngest daughter captured many wonderful images during our excursion to California this past December. Everywhere we turned, folks were enjoying the sun and the sea. After a terrific lunch, our afternoon bike ride laong the shoreline continued our fun. The evening sunset was among the most beautiful we'd witnessed during the week, with locals and tourists alike standing in awe of the brilliant hues. Just another reason I believe folks who don't like California have probably never been there!(Photos copyright Lauren Taft.)

US Airways Plane Crash and a Miracle
The US Airways plane crash hit home in a new way: Our friend's son and girlfriend were on the flight. Thankfully, although we have not heard from them, our friends- and all other passengers have survived. Prayer is good, so please pray for all the folks on flight 1549 from LaGuardia.
