We see th^: connection between God's grace and our gratitude in 'saying grace", which is expressing our gratitude for God's freely-given gift of food. How easy it is to forget, and thus to be unwittingly ungrateful for, all the wonderful^ things in our lives that come to us freely by the grace of God. Our families and friends, our health and wellbeing, indeed our very lives and the world we inhabit are truly gifts from our heavenly father. These are given freely to- us and our Lord expects nothing in return, except our love and gratitude. Surely, this is a testimony to God's overflowing and abundant love for all of us. We do well to remember the ultimate source of this great bounty-our; loving and gracious God. In turn, we should imitate his love through our charity to others.

Hartsells from page D1 think we can be as good as we once were. We real- ize there is more of an upside climb to go to get better." Several factors have led the Hartsells to believe they haven't put their best skate together just yet. An improved long program, featuring a triple throw, is something the Hartsells plan .to show off next month at the Staples Center. Choreographers Allen and Angela Schramm have put together a presentation that not only shows off the power and speed of the pair, but also their relationship as brother and sister. Iji the long program, the Hartsells will skate to piece from Peter Rabbit. "It's not a love story obviously," Danielle laughs. 'But it shows the relationship we have with each Dther. That's what we wanted to portray." Added Steven: "It's natural, it's like a good foot- ball team being on the same page all the time. We kirtd of finish off each other's sentence. That's ivhjat makes pairs enjoyable." Team Hartsell also includes skating coach John- ay Johns, who has been with the pair since day Dne. There is an understanding that Johns handles the skating aspect, while the Schramms are in charge of the creative portions of the programs. "He (Johns) oversees everything, but he doesn't interfere," Danielle said. "He made us the skaters we are today. He turned clumsy kids into national champs." The Hartsells, both whom took off the fall semester from college classes to concentrate solely 5n their skating, have sacrificed much to pursue ;heir Olympic quest. The two teach 18 to 20 hours per week at the Detroit Skating Club to supplement their enor- mous costs.
