Home

We are once again home safe and sound. As expected, we had a wonderful time with family and friends. I will post more later, pictures included.

God is good, all the time. And this morning I was reminded of it again. We received a call from my aunt in Oregon checking to make sure we had arrived home safely. She heard a report on the news this morning that highway 97 between Bend and Klamath Falls, OR is closed indefinitely due to a four semi-truck nonfatal accident. I don't know what time the accident occurred, but thankfully we passed through that way prior to its occurrence.

And now my thoughts are fully turned to this last week of preparation before leaving for NTBI.

"This is the day the Lord has made. Let us REJOICE! and be glad in it."

(yawn)

And we're off!

I really should post something...

"Never do today what you can put of till tomorrow.  Or something like that."  - Bernard Walton

Done it.

My Macbook is on its way.

Life changes

As I was putting together my lunch last night, it hit me that this is my last week here at work.  After nine years.  My last week.  I won't be back next Monday.  I don't think it has fully sunk in yet.  I am thrilled to be going to NTBI, but I am really going to miss working here.  It has been a good job, and I have had several excellent people to work with.  I am going to miss seeing them day in and day out.

Life changes.  The new changes ahead of me are so unknown that I really have very few expectations.  Someone asked me yesterday if I'm nervous about going to a school where I don't know anyone.  I can't honestly say that I am at this point.  We'll see how I feel as it gets closer to the departure date.  I am definitely not looking forward to the good-byes.

But we won't talk about that right now.
