Dear Abby

You have to admire youth. It is great to read a story about a young person who does something fantastic early in their life. Along those lines I have been a periodic visitor to the blog of Abby Sunderland. Abby is sixteen and left California some months ago to make an attempt at becoming the youngest person to ever solo circumnavigate the globe by sail. It has been a great story to follow.

Sadly today's news had a report that Abby's emergency beacon was activated and she has been reported as missing somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Prayers for this brave young lady please. While I would never allow my kids to be this adventurous I do admire her spirit and bravery. I hope that she is found soon.
