This, my friends, is my beautiful sister.

So pretty!

Marilyn is one of my favorite people to be around.  She's incredibly fun and intelligent.  She loves a good debate, and she'll liven an environment (without even trying) posthaste! :)

This portion of the session was done at the library because Marilyn loves to learn.  About anything and everything! 

She's gifted with an inquisitive nature that drives her to seek the truth. 

Marilyn reads voraciously, but Eric Metaxas' biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer is especially significant to her.

Isaiah 62 is one of her favorite passages of Scripture.

She wears a Star of David from a land that will always be close to her heart.

She has a passion for this country, and for justice to prevail.  I've found that the passions of those we are closest to often ease their way into our lives rather unassumingly, and we wake up one day to find those passions have become our own.  I, and so many others, have been so blessed by the strength of her conviction.
