In the News

Well, there certainly is a lot of news circulating at my house and around my family this week. First of all, I did it! I thought I could, but now I know I can, I made 2 A's in my classes this semester. It was a challenge for me, the schedule of school and work, now I just have to continue the momentum through the fall. I will be attending full time (just 12 hours, but still it's full time), it's going to be fabulous, I love learning new things.

Next, 17 attended the community college for dual credits for high school and college and did fabulously. I am so proud of her. She was, I think, pleasantly surprised at her success.

Also, maybe you have heard, there is a tempestuous storm presently blowing at Criswell College. I have some interest there because my brother is an associate professor of humanities there. The president has resigned which has left a gap in his position and in the role of radio show host at 5 p.m. each day on KCBI. As the week has progressed, I have just learned that Brother will be the host of that show now! How spectacular! He is brilliant and you must tune in to be challenged, taught, and simply enjoy listening to discussions about world events from a Biblical perspective. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Husband has had a successful month, he has dazzled his superiors and will embark on a new challenging project. It will be quite a distinct honor for his career. I am so proud of him!

19 has just returned from a mission trip to Venezuela. It was a great experience for her. As I sit back and observe her, what I see is that she is being transformed into a beautiful, graceful, young lady. Although she still has her moments at home of, well, you know, I think those times may be a little fewer and farther between. All in all, soon, I may consider her as one of Husband's and my great accomplishments. She begins her sophomore school year at the University of Texas at Arlington and she is really excited. She is planning on participating in rush, I'm not sure how thrilled I am about that, but, I will watch and see how she handles this new experience.

I know, I know it certainly is a long post, I'll save the rest for later.
