So Brooke set me up with my own blog space today if you read my profile you can see that it is all about her. I am sure I will change it at some point, but it is ok for now, or at least until my other living kids find out about it. Caleb thinks blogs are stupid and Jessica doesn't spend much time on the computer (She leaves that to her husband) so I think I am good for a while. Although I imagine that Brooke will be sure that they find out about it anyway. That is just the kind of little sister she is. Shaun is my oldest son and my only perfect child (sorry Brooke) He has been with Jesus since September 11, 1998. He wasn't perfect while he was here, but he is now!
Caleb is home from Hesston College for fall break this weekend and even though I haven't seen him a whole lot, I love having him here. He heads back to Kansas on Tuesday. He brought three girls home!?! They all had plans to go to Colorado together but those fell through. I am glad that he felt free to bring them here. Two of them left and are spending part of the time in Kidron where one of those two are from, the other girl is from Belgium and is my sisters neice so she is at her house. I imagine they will all be back here come Monday evening so they can head back to Hesston Tuesday morning. I think that Caleb has his days and night mixed up, He seems to sleep until sometime in the afternoon, then he stays up until early morning. Kinda reminds me of when he was first born, I thought he out grew it, now it is back :-)
Brooke spent Thurday night at Bluffton College where she is planning to attend next year I think over all it was a good experience for her she wasn't paired up with the type of person she would be close friends with, if you know Brooke, she still made the best of it.
The picture Brooke choose of me was taken summer 1979. I was roofing with out a nail gun!! Spent that summer in Texas with Mennonite Disaster Service, cleaning up after a large tornado.
Nothing much else to say right now I will post again when I have something exciting to say, Well maybe I shouldn't say that. According to my kids my life is pretty dull and if that was the case I would never post again. But I will come up with something sometime. I will leave you with these wise words.
People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
BE KIND ANYWAY.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
BE HONEST ANYWAY
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
BE HAPPY ANYWAY.
The good you do today, may be forgotten tomorrow.
DO GOOD ANYWAY.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY.
