The Whole Kristen ca-Doodle

I haven't written or doodled anything in a while.  Well, actually, I have written approximately 7,642 blog posts in my head, but none have made their way to the computer.  And, I doodle everyday, I just haven't had any posts to attach them to.   I have been busier lately, with my substitute teaching job, which is great, but also a big change for my family.  So, I haven't made time. And. And I was all ready to post about a topic, either optimism or vanity, and even had my doodles ready, but then violence interrupted our worlds, as it too often does.  First, in a neighboring community with the suicide of a teenage girl, and then in Las Vegas.  And I was broken, like you, and raging, like you, and sad, like you, and a little hopeless, like you.  And I tried to have something to say.  I started a post. As my husband and I are frequently reminding our children (and ourselves), is it more important to be right or is it more important to be love? Prayer is important,
