Kids Disperse
My oldest son begins a week in Switzerland today, helping with a Bible conference for US service men and women stationed in Germany. His mission team is in charge of 40 young ‘uns for a VBS-type program. After a week, his team takes a train to France to help missionaries there for a few weeks. Pray for him as he is the leader of the team of eight.
My other son is preparing for the Theological Foundation for Youth program by reading heavy duty books such as Augustine’s Confessions and something by Gresham Machen. When the TFY program begins, he will leave us for 12 days. He is also making plans to practice with his band and secure some more gigs. As always, he is songwriting.
My daughter is leaving soon for Philadelphia to visit her dear Aunt Anne and, Lord willing, be helpful with her twins. She will be leaving soon with her dear grandpa who is visiting now.
I shall miss them all, but yet am excited for their choices and work.
Guess I’ll be Googling internet recipes for 2-3 in the near future. Weird.

I would like to travel too. I guess traveling with a purpose is quite different, but it should be fun nevertheless.
lol I use funny sayings to help me memorize spellings also…like prejudice.
PRE- Jud – Ice. I love mini scissors on my swiss army knife. LoL I buy my coffee, so I rarely use my grinder.
Wow! How awesome that your son is doing that! Confessions is a fantastic book. It is a tough read, but worth it.
France needs all the help with the Gospel they can get.
Thanks for signing up, too . . . doing likewise, if it’s OK.
It is times like these that get you ready for a life without kids at home. You will find there are lots of nice things about it:) I still don’t really cook for 2 very much except when we grill. Mostly I just make a lot and we eat a lot of leftovers. We like leftovers and it’s less cooking so it works for us!!
I quickly learned how to cook for just two, but then again, mine was a trial by fire. Our newlywed year included six kids, but their schedules rarely dovetailed. So I had to write on the kitchen calendar the number of people for dinner that night: 2, 4, 6, or all 8. The weird part was going from dumping two pounds of spaghetti in the pot of boiling water to grilling only two pork chops the next day.
