Our older son's godmother just posted this video on her facebook feed. It is the story of a man, Brett Weber, a neuroscientist and painter. He died today of complications from multiple sclerosis.

After Brett Weber was diagnosed, he moved back in with his parents in Allentown, Pennsylvania and began a painting studio called Broken Art Gallery from his parents' garage. I never met this man but the way he journeyed with this disease with his faith in God intact is a testament to the value of every human life, no matter how fragile.

...give our bodies restful sleep;
and let the work we have done today
be sown for an eternal harvest.
