Spain
We're off to Spain with CIEE. One of the great perks of the Exchange work is the free trips! I'll tour with the boys around Madrid and Toledo while Judy works the first few days, then The boys and I will show her around...

warm and well fed
been thinkin lately... the walking out of faith in Christ absolutely must put the Matthew 25 "least of these" in a prominent place in our communities.
Teaching today
Today I teach French and Latin. It looks like my Co-Op will have to pull my pay for the class, though, since Judy can no longer participate. I'll deal with that...
remember WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
Puts things in perspective! So be patient, kind... set aside Christ as Lord in your heart... enter into hope and give a reason...

Barb
Barb had an aneurism this year... Three, actually... That's the brain kind.
She's my next door neighbor, in the young sixties or late fifties, a gramdma--my son aaron is friends with her grandkids...
She and Randy (randy's my neighbor, too...) are retiring in the small rental property next door. There are a lot of maintenance issues (roof not draining, foundation sagging severely), but they don't say anything to the landlord because then the rent will be raised. On a fixed income, that'd be disastrous... So they keep remodeling and repairing the inside and working on it as they can, at their own expense, mostly...
This is how a lot of our neighbors live, in fear of a rent hike. They work hard.
Anyway Barb had an aneurism, tons of spinal taps, a repair job in her skull... And now she's on daily pain pills for the spinal damage... The two aneurisms that are left will be examined in a year or so...
And Barb wants to "get baptised" and "be saved". She knows it's time... And she thinks God sent us to live next door for that...
Whatdyou thinK?
Barb is so cool.

The Boys--JP and ZACH
Jp and Zach are looking at rental properties in Northside. Last night, they went down to CAIN (churches active in Northside) to help with the food pantry...
The boys are planning to move in and "neighbor" this community. This is our plan... This was God's plan...
So these days are full of getting to know our neighbors...
