Since the last I've written, 50% of those stick butterfly bushes are actually producing leaves, small though they are. Also the kids have officially started their home school adventure. While we're still working out the kinks, I think we're going to like it. They have a lot more opportunity than they would've at school. It is going to be more expensive than I originally anticipated and I don't know where a lot of the funds are going to come from, However, those things have a way of working themselves out.
At church last Sunday 3 people were baptized. (2 were re baptized) I don't know what to make of that. I think it's great, but I never thought re baptism was necessary. I was baptized young too, and I wonder what they think of me. I went through High School and youth making all sorts of mistakes post baptism and I've asked for forgiveness. I thought that's what you were supposed to do. Maybe not. There are a lot of new young people at our church and I just feel myself slipping further and further into my cynicism. I don't like that I'm that way, but I tend to be on the look out for evidence of the vibes I'm feeling. Sometimes I feel like a snake slithering through the grass, constantly monitoring the air looking for something to strike.
