Tyra Damm and I became friends because we have a couple of things in common: We write, and we're United Methodist. We've run a couple of her columns in the pages of the Reporter.
Tyra's latest column for the Life/Travel section of the Dallas Morning News is a reflection on what her local church means to her, and she presents a picture of gratefulness for it that I hope every Christian has the opportunity to experience with a faith community.
What she doesn't mention in this column, but has discussed in others, is the amount of support and prayer she and her household have received from their church, their "second family," since her husband Steve was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2007.
If you're reading this post, join me in lifting up a prayer for Steve, Tyra, Cooper and Katie, and for the church family, Holy Covenant, that embodies the love of God for them during this time.
