Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

It's all a matter of perspective...

One little thing that Tony and I have enjoyed the last few months, is the ability to watch "Fox News" in English. It helps us feel connected to what is happening back in the US. Yesterday morning we watched the memorial services and the footage from 9/11.

This is something that really affects Tony and I. Teddy, who is very sensitive to our moods and emotions, of course caught on right away. So in our school time yesterday when we talked about what day it was and marked the date on the calendar. Tony came into the school room, and together we tried to explain to our kindergarten in language that he could understand, what people were talking about when they said, 9/11. He had several questions, but then we went on with our day, and he seemed fine with everything.

We had friends visit for lunch, and Teddy was sitting with the children. He said, "Hey, today is a special day. Years ago, before I was even born, bad men took over some airplanes and ran them into big buildings. A lot of people died, and we need to remember it today."

The " years ago, before I was even born," caught my attention. In many ways it seems like yesterday to me, but here we are 6 years later, and to my little boy, it was very long ago.
