Week 11

Week 11... Just a couple more to go!

Stay tuned next week for pictures of the inside.

Currently, our staff training and orientation is scheduled for April 25- May 6.
Our Open House for our new building is scheduled for May 8. If you are in the area, let me know, we will send you in invitation.

A huge thank you to everyone who has made this become a reality-- you know who you are. We are so close to opening those doors!

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

-C.S. Lewis

"Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. Compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. But this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. What we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it."
— Henri J.M. Nouwen
