Shelley's Hands


A former student recently requested a picture of Shelley's hands; hands that held many a fledgling then shooed them from the nest that they too might go and make a difference in the world. I am grateful for her request as I too now have a picture of them. I thought that some of you also might like one.

In these last days, Shelley's spirit has become quiet and gentle. Last night, in a very soft voice she said, "I have strength to do this if you have strength to do this." In that moment, both our wells were filled.

Still teaching us, even those who have never been her theological students, how to live life with grace. My love and prayers are with you two.
