One final comment on my recent posts detailing some of the trials in my early life. Â In retrospect, those were traumatic times; but they strengthened me emotionally and spiritually. Â When we go through those tough times we all must face in this imperfect world, Â we have a choice on how to react. Â Some get stronger; others get weaker.Â
Next Friday, the 15th, is Moving Day, so I started packing dishes yesterday. I have filled five boxes and still have at least two more to go before I have all the kitchen packed. Â I just hope I have a place for all this stuff when I get in my new home. Â I guess if I don't the rest will go to charity. Â
Holly and Bevan will be moving to Dallas on November 6. Â Everything has gone smoothly with one exception. Â When they lived in Dallas previously, Bailey attended school at Prestonwood Christian Academy. Â She wanted to go back to be with her friends.
The school currently has an opening in second grade for Kenzie; however, the seventh grade core classes are full; they do have openings in the elective classes. Â So, for the time being, Bailey will have to take her core classes online; Â she will take her electives and go to chapel on campus. Â We are hoping that by mid-term that will change.
Good news from Chile....it appears the miners are just days away from rescue. Â The rescue team broke through this morning after just 33 days, months ahead of the original projection. Â That is a testament to how hard those rescue workers labored to free these brave men who have now been 2000 feet below the surface for 66 days.
Family members have kept a vigil at the site in a tent village. Â Today, some of the women were getting their hair done in anticipation of seeing their husbands and sweethearts again. Â The wife of the Chilean President has joined the families at the tent village to buoy and encourage them through these last tension-filled days.
Let us all pray that the rescues go well.
