To have guilt you've got to earn guilt, but sometimes when you earn it, you don't feel the guilt you ought to have. And that's what The Firebombing is about.

It's my brother's 40th birthday today. I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday that we we're playing Gilligan's Island in the backyard, pretending that we lived on an island where no one could find us. Just yesterday that I was watching your high school football team fight it's way to the state semi-finals. And just yesterday that I watched you marry the love of your life.
I love you so much, Bobby. You were my protector and buddy and have become such a wonderful man, husband, and father. I hope this day brings you peace, joy, and happiness. I miss you and want you to know that I'm thinking of you today. Happy Birthday.
This is the first time I have ever seen a double rainbow (that I can remember). It was highly cool. I just happened to see this while picking up one of my daughters from volleyball practice - on the day I signed the contract on our new house. My divorce will be final soon, and the girls and I are buying our own house. I had never heard of, nor seen, the "Double Rainbow", YouTube, video, so my 13 year-old daughter played it for me when we saw this. I was not as expressive as the guy in the video, but I was very impressed and took it as a good sign. :) I also have to admit that I googled, "double rainbow meaning". I found some scientific explanations and also some theological ones. Each of us can interpret the double rainbow in his or her own way, but, no matter what the reason for this beautiful sight, it lifted my spirit. It's only 10 days until the one-year anniversary of my precious grandson, Jayden's, death. Thank you, Jesus, for the encouragement.
