who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

My great-grandmother Louise is 101 years old today. A few years ago, I asked her to write down her recipe for cheese straws. This is what she sent me. Happy birthday, Louise—keep doing your thing.

When I was in the Bookstore at T4G last month, some conference workers asked to take my photo as part of a “T4G photo booth” they were doing. They also took a photo of me with my mother and grandmother, which I think turned out pretty good! (Thanks, Sarah!)
