I’m so glad your son is okay! I can resonate with your contemplations about why God lets these things happen. Also I need to click on all of the articles you linked to because they all sound intriguing, and I completely agree with you about Sara Bannerman’s writing!

Michelle, I am thankful your son is healing after that injury. You remained calm, which was a gift from God. On another note, I thoroughly enjoyed your story in the Habit Portfolio. Well done. It was disturbing because it was culturally relevant. I saved it to read and ponder again.

Thank you so much, Gina! That means a lot! (And yes, I am NOT the "ER parent" in our house—that's my husband—so the ability to remain calm is definitely from God. Left to myself, I get woozy and have to lie flat on the floor.)

I really do enjoy your writing so much, Sara. No flattery, just honesty, I promise! I am always like, "How does she memorialize a trip to the coffee shop so that it's interesting and important to me??"

It was NOT fun, but it could've been so much worse, so we are thankful. He was the talk of the ER. Lots of different people kept coming into his room just to look at the wound. However, he didn't set the record for the most stitches that day. Someone else down the hall beat him by two, haha.
