Quick update from John

John is buried. Lots of quizes to write, and papers to correct. He plans farm day (Mondays) and has 2 sciences, geometry, and Latin also. Seeing some of "The War" on PBS helps him keep some perspective when he gets anxious. "No body's brains will blow-up if I don't get the papers corrected by tomorrow."
No, they won't.
But keep your priorities in place and do some blogging soon eh?!

John on the Road

We drove John to the airport today. He almost posted last night--but stopped when he realized he was just saying that he's not too good at the blog thing. But I think we'll hear from him more when he's settled into the left coast.

We all prayed over and blessed John this morning. I thought of a really loving, sensitive post about that. . but I'm going to take my sister's advice: "Don't get sentimental. It's all good."

I will not listen to James Taylor or the Indigo Girls. I will laugh every day, play with the kids, and stick to a schedule. I will pray! Pray that I am patient, loving, disciplined, and getting a cell phone soon! Really--holiness and my having a cell phone are directly connected.
