I finally understand the whole thing about keeping up on the old blog...Where did the last 3 weeks go? I started working, and I'm sure that's part of the issue here. I am working Monday thru Friday from 11:30 to 1:30 serving lunch at an elementary school, it's a huge step to start working. I felt like it was the right time. I can now put Josiah in preschool. He asks to go to school almost every day, so he will love it, I'm sure...
Other News in the Kennedy Fam? Well, Sean's in Mexico working at the Rancho Santa Marta children's home for a few days, poor me! I wish I was there with him, but I got to go last time, so it was his turn. The man who runs the home will be so excited that a few real men with tools showed up this time. He wasn't too impressed in May when we took a van full of women to work at the home. I think Sean will return with some interesting tales, hopefully not about rattle snakes, but who knows?

wOw.....

You know like wOOOOw. That's wow, O.K., never mind. My computer has been down for a whole week...crazy!!!!! I was just catching up on my blog-reading, my favorite zone out, let the brain take a rest activity. I missed alot of information this last week...that sounded unemotional. It was not just information, it was personal struggles and down times and tears and dark clouds, many "downcast souls" as King David so eloquently phrased it. My blog sisters, please cheer up! These dark times will pass, you are in the care of a Mighty God...He will not allow you to be in this state forever. YOU, my blog sisters who are experiencing all shades of blue, will be written in my brand new prayer journal, so even though I might have gotten wind of your struggles late (due to my elderly computer), I will pray!!!!

The big news from the Kennedy house this week is that my eldest (does anyone use that word anymore) is 66". I know what you're thinking, "O.K., so now we're all going to start posting every time our kids grow an inch!" Well, I guess this is only monumental because it means that he is the same number of inches as his mother!!!!! There is just no way to prepare for moments like these when life just takes us by complete suprise. I wanted to tell the lady at the doctor's office to measure him again! It couldn't be right. IT WAS RIGHT! Well, Zachary William, I am still your mother, and I am still in charge, young man! Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system! He was laughing at Sean and I the other day because I had been accused of throwing him to a pack of wolves every day because he goes to public school. The person who made that accusation feels like you are not a Christian if your child goes to public school. I looked at Zach and said "Am I throwing you to a pack of wolves every day because you go to public school!?" He started to giggle and said, "No, mom, it's fun." If "public school" is such a bad place, why does he come home with a smile on his face almost every day? Please don't be offended if you homeschool or have your kids in private school. I feel very strongly that every child is an individual case, but in general, I believe that when my kids walk through that front door into their school, they are bringing Light with them because that is my prayer for them every morning! Well, I will sign off for tonight.
