Just read where Patrick Swayze died. (1952-2009) How very sad. I doubt many people think of him as one of our great movie actors, but the fact that barely a week goes by that you can't see Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Red Dawn, or Point Break on cable says that he was pretty darn good.

Fighting pancreatic cancer, this past January Swayze said, "I keep dreaming of a future... a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light."

I pray he is now resting in The Light.

I will be out of the country for the next month. Will do my best to post some photos and thoughts along the way.
