We invite you into our conversation about an unexpected and unique journey we took together over a thirty month period in the middle of our lives. We were both stuck, rattled and rolled into a sense of acceptance of our different circumstances. We had been dealt some hard cards, but life was good. Good enough. Little did we know, a chance meeting on December 8, 2008, would change our lives forever. And provide us a chance for a second honeymoon neither of us dared to hope for. What follows is the wonder, hope, disappointment, surprises and thrills from both of our perspectives.

Out of sight, out of mind—it was a game my mother and I played (and played well) for as long as I can remember, and then cancer spoiled our idyllic separation.

In this volume in Zondervan Academic's New Studies in Dogmatics series, theologian Kelly M. Kapic reflects on the Christian life: its foundation, its nourishment, and its goal. Kapic contends that the Christian life is, first and foremost, one that is lived in response to the love of the triune God. It thus flows from God toward us, and we are then drawn back into communion with God. As those united to God through Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, Christians are enabled to respond to God's love.

The pretentious call from my future employer puts a crimp in my plans. I can be frugal, but waiting seven weeks for my first payday is a lot to ask of a girl.
