After 25 years of roaming the world, we are home again and it is wonderful. Most of our time away was in tropical parts of the world where the thermometer hovered above 80* on a regular basis. I don't miss that heat! But the best thing about returning is reconnecting with very important people in our lives, our mothers, our siblings, our children and grandchildren. God is blessing us in this season of our lives.

Coming to an end!
And not a moment too soon! I don't know about anyone else but this has been a tough year in the classroom! I spoke with the youth pastor of a local church tonight and he said this has been his most difficult year ever in ministry. Society in general has suffered this year. It is a crisis of inflated proportions in some ways. The fear generated by the constant media attention to negative issues continues to undermine people's basic sense of well-being. I know it's been a hard year for many people (totally disregarding Haiti here - that's epic and not even a part of this discussion) but overall most people are doing just fine. However no one feels secure and it's because we are looking in the wrong places for our security. In our rather small school alone, there have been so many divorces this year. Out students are struggling because they don't have a sense of stability. Time to get serious, focus on the essentials, and realize just how blessed we are! That said, there are eleven in-class days left in this school year. I am really on the count-down! Summer!!!! Where are you??? Hurry up!!!!
