"God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength."  

                                                         ~ Vance Havner  

We've all been broken.
Many times. In many ways.
May the brokenness in us, in all humanity,
bring us to compassion, wisdom, greater loving,
and to peace. 

With hope, 
Charlene
