insert catchy title here

Last weekend Ashley ran a half marathon in Des Moines.  She is only 5 months removed from having her first kid.  What a rockstar.  I, of course, was more than willing to wheel Kota around in her stroller while sipping on a warm cup of coffee and trying to figure out whether the race day map that I was given was in fact of downtown Des Moines.  It was, and we were able to see mom cruise the homestretch, receive a crappy little medal, and steal dad a few Myoplex protein drinks before all was said and done.  After processing the day in her right mind, I think that Ashley concluded that running 13.1 miles was in fact the easy part.  It was getting up at the crack of dawn, driving to Des Moines, finding a place to park, feeding the baby, and getting a good pre-race pee in that proved difficult.  Like so many of the sages will tell you (and tell you, and tell you), "having kids changes everything." Thank you dear sages.

Meanwhile, back at Veritas, there were 5 people who were about to get baptized. Each one of these stories is so unique, so authentic, so compelling.  God is at work.

One of these stories is Raquel's.  Pretty sure it's worth 10 minutes of your time.
