My life just works better.

And God was there to receive it.

And that's a really good thing for everybody concerned.

Better than I can.

Even when I want God to.

It makes me cry and I don't know why.

She gets so excited whenever I come home.

Then something will make me look up, and I'll remember that God looked at the world and called it good.

That makes all this mean something.

And she loved God more than anything.
