Dan, this is a timely article, but I wish you didn't have to write it. Encouragement is a spiritual gift, as you know, and you have described what it looks like. It's not that ridiculous piece of "art" (let the reader understand). I think you and your wife should let a few tongues of fire descend upon it, and watch as the smoke ascends to heaven...

A lot of people have come to care about you two through your writing, and a great many from knowing you both personally. Hang that artwork in your hearts,
