In just a week or two our oldest two grand daughters will be starting their first year of college. The hustle and bustle of summer jobs and fun with friends will be over, and the urgency of study will be upon them.
But our youngest still has three more years of high school to go. You haven't seen much of her so here are a couple pics of her.
And of course, we must throw in a little wildlife found in our back yard here in the backcountry of Woodstock, Georgia.
This close up (a little blurry due either to our inexpensive camera or the ineptness of the (male) photographer is of one of the cardinal family that frequents our bird restaurant. Cathy has named this one "hesed" which is Hebrew for faithful lovingkindness because he always shows up. Hesed is our favorite O.T. word because it is the word God uses of himself to His people.
These last three pictures are of "Aslan" our tiny lion who just loves licking noses and drinking from the fountain in our tiny backyard. Her real name as you all know is "Abbie" but with her color and facial hair and expression she reminds us of Aslan.
Bill has started teaching once again at the home school program at church. This year he teaches a two hour World Literature class from 10 to noon each Tuesday. The church has hired a new Pastor to Seniors (age 67+) who has taken over the teaching of the Tuesday morning Bible Study at our local Chic-Fil-A restaurant so Bill now has one less preparation--the literature class preparation now uses that time.
We are both as healthy as 68 and 69 years olds can be. Well, Ok, we won't be those ages for another couple weeks. But we're still young enough to be excited over our up-coming mission trip to Portugal in October. Be sure to check out the link at the top of this blog page to see the photos and read the information on our trip.
Enough for now. We love you all and pray for you each week.
