"It’s a huge gift that the two places where I spend much of my time–church and recovery circles–are suffused with the Resurrection. Daily I see light shining in the midst of darkness, broken lives beginning to be made whole, humor defeating despair, random acts of kindness, the fruit of humble, contrite hearts (usually with lots of swearing), prayer in action. We leave politics, ideology and outside issues at the door and deal, in the roughest, most seemingly ordinary, humdrum ways with our spirits, our consciences, our hearts and our souls." Heather King

I played halfback in field hockey and second base in softball, but it was basketball I lived and breathed for. The names of my college professors, the hotel I stayed in on my honeymoon, the faces of my coworkers from five years ago all escape me, but I still remember the starting lineup from my freshman basketball team. - Heather King, Parched
