1. My cuddly pug, who has weathered many storms and transformations with me. Always faithful. Showing me Jesus.
2. Little Isaiah, making me laugh as he hangs upside down from his Poppa and calls me "da da" when I say "mama"
3. Voskamp, taking no superficial approach to the "hard Eucharisteos" and delving into the pain and hard questions. Showing me the possibility of believing in Jesus's love beyond my own depths and doubts. Voskamp showing me that platitudes and cliches are not the best Christianity offers in hard times.
4. My husband, who joins in my banter, allowing my sense of humor to flourish in our home
