| | Hi,
Joel graduated from high school Saturday (May 31) and my Grandfather (age 90) died on the same day. So, my parents could not come to graduation. I did not try to rush and go to Kingsport for the funeral. I am SO wiped out from getting ready for graduation and I just didn't have the strength to start packing immediately after to make a trip the next day.
My sis says my Grandmother, (age 92) is not grieving. Neither she nor my Grandfather cried when my uncle Ronnie died. They didn't seem bothered. They just had their backpacks on, I guess, ready to follow behind him. Grandmother is next, I suppose. I'll have to tell you some stories of them soon. I think I've blogged about Grandad on here before.
We had a big party for our homeschool graduation. We just had a big party /presentation here at home. That's what Joel wanted, and it turned out well.
My brother (age 32) has recently announced to us that he plans to go back to school on the "fast track" to get his Masters/Doctorate in Divinity and then be a professor of religion.
I asked what led to this decision, and he said, "Well, it's what I care about, and I don't see myself as a pastor in any certain denomination or organization, so it just makes sense to take this route." He doesn't know how he'll make a living or pay for school, but he's just going to start walking in that direction. Pray for him. He'll make a good one... old enough to know God for himself and not just another empty head to be programmed by seminary or corrupted by a divinity school! He plans to go to Vanderbilt in Nashville. He is also a musician. I'm excited about his decision.
I've been over on Yahoo Answers, doing "missionary work," so to speak. To see what I've been up to, visit me here:

The Lord is giving me the chance to get an up close view into the hearts and minds of a very confused generation of young people, and to reach right into their hearts with His personal message to them. Some of my answers may seem to fall short, to some, but keep in mind you can't drop the whole "truth bomb" on babies who have absolutely NO foundation at all. I may already go too far at times, but I'm pray for guidance as I answer their questions. I'm also building a website to deal with frequently asked questions, especially in the matter of spiritual warfare, because some of these kids have unwittingly invited demonic influences into their lives and need to be able to break free. If they have no local Christian support, I hope to be able to give them at least the basic tools and some information they can use to take authority over these invaders and find their way to Jesus if they choose to do so. Pray for them. Pray for me.
