My friend Dave in Blacksburg sent me this image and it cracked me up. For those of you who don't know, Shawnee people historically had a number of villages in the state of Ohio. My buddy Dave is reading a book about Mary Draper Ingles who hiked from a Shawnee village somewhere in Ohio back to her home near Blacksburg a couple of hundred years ago.
To me there is a touch of irony in this beyond the cartoon itself. I think we are all a bit like this at times. We commit heinous offenses against our friends, and then we sort of apologize and try to make things right, but not really. It takes a lot to be reconciled to others when we offend, it takes humility, and it takes compassion. Most of the time we just want to offer a band-aid though.
I hope your day is filled with laughter, irony, and true reconciliation.

The book your friend is reading is wonderful. You should check it out as well. I find that I can't put Sleeth's book down. It's fabulous. Thanks for recommending it.
To go along with the series you're doing at H20...the series by Stephen Arterburn re: "every man's battle" is great. There is one for every age. I personally read "every woman's battle" prior to my marriage. Awesome!
