We went to Swaziland a few days ago to take clothes and shoes to an orphanage. Lucy was immediately surrounded by some of the kids. They were fascinated with her freckles and hair, and Lucy, to her credit, was unusually patient and tolerant about having lots of little hands in her face.What I love about this photo is this: the Swazi kids are not defined by being orphans. Lucy is not defined by being an American or having two parents. They are just a bunch of kids enjoying each other.
How often we attach labels to one another that define who we are and determine our worth. In God's eyes, however, we're all just a bunch of kids. Our identity and worth should come from our position in Christ, not from whatever labels the world decides to stick upon us.
So.... labels of the world, I am officially "unsticking" you. Fall off!

So, yeah, OK, I guess they decided the mall wasn't big enough and they are extending it into the parking lot towards Chili's.
Sorry for bragging about the food, I can't imagine the stuff you miss. Target was a big one for me . . . that and the Mexican food.
