| Laura standing by my car (note the rising tide) BEFORE our walk. |
My car was almost swept away by the tide today. Okay, I exaggerate, but the tide did rise much more than expected in the time it took for me and Stella to take a walk around Durham with Laura - a dear friend and former student from my InterVarsity days. Thankfully, Laura was there to rescue us. Everyone needs a hero, or a heroine as the case may be. Laura is more than a heroine - she makes me think. She thinks a lot and reads and lot and encourages me to do the same...I'm grateful for honest and lasting relationships like this one; people like Laura remind me that my days in ministry with InterVarsity were well-spent. Plus, it's great to have friends who will wade into freezing cold water to fetch a car that's about to be swept away by the tide...who doesn't need that kind of a friend?

| She got right to work...saving the damsels in distress from wading into the water. |

| "You have no idea how cold this water is!!" |

| Thank you, Laura! From, Stella and Jenny. |
