TW Goes Back To School

The whole reason for our move was because we are following a call that the Lord has on our lives and the next step of that call is for TW to go to Seminary, which really means we are all going to Seminary but he is the only one going to classes. "Going to seminary" affects our lives in many ways and for that reason I say we are all going. Classes started this week. He has one night class on Mondays and everything else is on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I cooked a good Mexican dinner, homemade tacos, on Monday night and then we sent him off for his first class and his first time back in school in over 8 years. And yes, I made him pose for a picture just like I do the kids each year when they start school. It was quite comical. The kids and I were lined up watching as I had him pose in front of the same bushes that the girls did just weeks before. He was a little embarrassed, but we all had a good laugh out of it. On Tuesday Bubby and I joined him on campus for Chapel. The President of the school spoke. My favorite thing he said was, "I may become weary IN this job, but I never become weary OF this job." He was talking on doing ministry in a messy world. Bubby did very well. We sat at the back in the last row in case he got disruptive. This is definitely not the norm for us; we are usually front few rows kind of people. After Chapel we sat with TW while he ate lunch and we went with him to check his mailbox. This was comical as well. The mailboxes have a turn dial lock on them. We both messed with the thing and could not get it to open. This took me back to my Jeff Jr High days all over again. I finally asked someone to help us. We all got a little chuckle out of it. TW is learning to navigate his way around campus and trying to learn how to balance school, family, and work. I can say for myself I sure do miss him already! He is gone quite a bit more then we were used to and it is only the third day of school. I am sure we will adapt and I know the Lord will take care of us!
