Why does it always take so long to pack up and go? This morning I wrote up a list of thing I'd hoped to accomplish before heading out of town. When I looked it over, I realized I wouldn't be finishing evything on the list. But I'd hoped to get further than I am now.
Part of the reaon has got to be that we just get too connected to our homes, cars, jobs and the other anchor-like appendages to our lives. It makes getting away seem almost impossible, and the internet makes it so that we can now just take our lives along with us. No wonder sabbath is so elusive. Or is it that we elude sabbath?
Eric's lighthouse turned out well. He painted it last night, and this morning I wired up the light as Christa helped him gather some moss, stones and sand to create a bit more of a setting than just a paper plate. And all of us gathered at Oakdale to watch the 5th graders' celebration of Michigan assembly, and look over the projects. The culmination of many hours of time, from child to adult!
