I've been smacked right in the face by a few things lately.
No, not by hands or doors or tree branches (although one did try to grab a hunk of my hair yesterday walking Henry home from school).
Stories I've experienced lately have just whacked me out of my senses - stories of birth (Nella Cordelia), healing (NieNie), and amazement; last night we watched From The Earth To The Moon, episode four. Did you know that during their radio transmission after the astronauts on Apollo 8 rounded the moon for the 9th time, they read the story of creation from Genesis? It just smacked me, right in the face.
I guess I don't expect these stories to smack anyone else. But I had to share, in case you run into these things and get smacked too.

Never knew that about the Apollo 8 mission around the moon read Genesis creation - how exciting, actually I don't have words great enough to express the sense of INCREDIBLE AWE to have that experience! Thanks for sharing Maresi, lovemom
I knew about the first two but not the reading. Fascinating.
nellia's birth story was beautifully written. amazing.
I read NieNie too.
