August

Here we are less than three weeks before our girl steps off the plane at Newark Airport...and it is becoming absolutely intolerable! I have been holding it all in for months and months...I have refused to let it grip me, this separation. It is for Godly purpose that Kate has been in Uganda, so that alone made it tolerable. But here at the end, I can barely stand it!!! She is so dear to my heart, and I love her so much. She is my best friend...please keep her in your prayers as she travels home between Sunday and Monday, arriving at 10 pm on the 24th.
Michael is having an endoscopy done tomorrow, and hopefully they can repair whatever the problem is that has caused him to be choking. We will ALL feel better after this appointment!
Nicholas is settling into his schedule at seminary--just the Greek intensive right now, but he is challenged, and loving it! It is a little easier for me knowing he comes home every weekend!
Chris and Mary are packing packing packing....their leave date is August 26th.
Craig and I are heading out behind them, to get Mary's car out to Cali. We leave around the 31st. The 1st is our 25th wedding anniversary!!!
