Another One Down




I have just finished another one of Master's courses. Thia one was on critical issues in education. I think the discussion boards were really interesting on this one. Glad to be finished again. I was carrying a 98 into the last week of classes so I am hopeful of maintaining my grade point average at 4.0. I am not bragging; just stating the facts.:)

As I work to complete my master's in the next couple of years I find myself questioning more and more why I am putting myself through all this stress. I feel I am more like Dad than I thought. He was always doing something. He always had a project to work on. He could hardly ever sit still for a day and relax. I smile when I think that I have something in common with him. It makes me realize that I am truly his son. unfortunately I am like him in the way that probably was his undoing. Too much stress could not have been good for him. Maybe I need to pull back somewhere.

Summer is a very busy time here. I will be teaching about 45 hours a week (that doesn't include prep time) for about 5 weeks. I am worried it may be too much. Pray for me as I try to deal with it. Pray for Leanne as she tries to deal with me.

I found out Wally, Sherrie and Mom will be coming out in January. We are really looking forward to them coming for a visit. We will try to take them to Taipei, Taroko Gorge and Kenting. I seem to be looking forward hoping to take my mind off the next five weeks. Here's to hoping and anticipation.

Here are a few more pictures from our last vacation to Canada.
Enjoy

Three Cheers for Henry




"I suppose your doing alright now
Making beautiful music on a white cloud
Father, Son and a holy host of angels
Surely sent up three cheers
Even as your mortal friends shed a few tears
We miss you down here

...We remember you yeah We laugh when we think of you

... We remember you, yeah, we cry when we think of you...

We love you....

Flap your wings"


The Choir song " Hey Gene" From the album "Flap Your Wings"

Six Short Years




"She makes alot of trouble Yeah When things don't go the way she plans

.... She makes noise, she breaks toys, she brings me tears of joy...

Cherry bomb with a face just like a cherub she's a bomb, she makes her presence known....
She's sweet as anything I know...

She never takes things lightly, no, her little heart explodes sometimes...

She kills me, she thrills me....."

The Choir song " Cherry Bomb" From the Album "Flap Your Wings"

Happy Anniversary Leanne

Six Years of Killing and Thrilling

Can't wait to be killed and thrilled for another sixty years.
