Apparently May is the month to remember, celebrate, emphasize and promote nearly everything! Perhaps it's because we're perceived as coming out of our winter cocoons and re-awakening to the needs and possibilities of the world. Whatever the reason, I thought I might as well start keeping a list of the May emphasis that I'm aware of, some that are near and dear to my heart already, and some that apparently are meaning to become near and dear to my heart. Check out these worthwhile competitors for our attention:
Williams Syndrome Awareness: a rare genetic disorder that has given our son Ben his unique encoding.
Older Adult Month: promoted by the Church of the Brethren.
Church Planting: monthly prayer emphasis
Pediatric Brain Tumor Month: at Lurie Children's Hospital, Chicago
Preservation Month: our community, Elgin, IL (note that the schedule that opens actually begins on page two)
