Today is 11 September. I became sick to my stomach this morning while sitting in the orthodontist's office waiting for the kids. On the tv, the original news broadcast from eight years ago was playing as though live. The emotions expressed by those going through this for the first time--not knowing what I know now, or even what I knew 8 years ago, just a few hours in their future--were more than I could handle.
I hope my heart never stops breaking at the tragedy of that day. In truth, I hope my heart is always responsive to the pain in the world. I don't want to have a heart hardened against it or dulled by it or desensitized in any way. With God's help, I want to have a heart like his.

I am busy with all the details (large and small) regarding the PWOC-Central Region 2009 Conference. So much so right now that I am not getting any schoolwork done. I knew this situation would arise and planned for it by finishing all the credits I needed early in the term. It is still very hard to feel like I am neglecting my schoolwork. Please pray with me that I will balance my responsibilities while maintaining my sanity and glorifying God!
The kids are getting their schoolwork done, and I am grateful for that!! Both are currently of the mind to work towards degrees in Kinesiology/Physical Therapy. It makes me smile to think of them both in the same field.
Thanks for reading. Good night.
