Ready or Not School Has Started! We’ve known the date all summer. It has been on our schedules since last spring. We knew it was coming, but how did it happen so soon? No, I wasn’t ready for it to start. I’d love to have another couple of weeks of summer to get ready for school. The projects I had planned for this summer remain undone. I guess I will continue to live minute by minute doing the most important, not feeling caught up. There will be no lazy summer days, no evenings on the deck with a book. Those are dreams – not reality.
         I am so excited to have the students back. It is so much fun to look out of my office window and see people coming and going on campus. I can’t help but think about heaven. God will return – it seems like a long time off. We have our weeks and months planned, we don’t know that date but God has it on His schedule. It will get here and it won’t be long. We will still have things undone, hopefully it won’t be the most important things. In life just like this summer, priorities are important. I didn’t get the study cleaned out, but I spent a few days with my family. I didn’t get to sit on the back porch and read - that pile of summer reading is still by my bed. But I got to go camping, and a couple of Sabbath’s ago I sat by a mountain river with Ron and friends. It was an awesome summer! Looking back I wouldn’t change anything. (Except maybe missing the last ferry from Port Townsend to Whidbey Island the night before we flew home.) Even that is a memory.

       I can’t wait to see what God has planned for this year.
