Monday to Friday

A poem by a school teacher, from "Pocket Prayers for Work" as compiled by our friend Mark Greene (published 2004 in London by Church House Publishing):

Monday, oh, how depressing.
Tuesday, I'm over the worst.
Wednesday, 1/2 way through the week,
that's great:
tomorrow I'll be saying,
'It's Friday tomorrow.'
Thursday, nearly there.
Friday, hooray! It's the weekend.
It's Monday again, that's not good.
Lord, you can't want me to live like this,
racing through the days.
Each day matters to you.
Help me to savour each day as it comes,
to live for you in the moment.

February update

South Carolina, Ohio State and "one last thing"

South Carolina


Feb 7-14 we were in the Myrtle Beach area, our first extended time just to relax in more than a year. This "R&R" more than met our expectations!

Sunrise from our bedroom...
















...and moonrise



"Broadway at the Beach" was pretty deserted...



Brookgreen Gardens were a highlight...



...sculpture depicting Psalm 139:9-10...


...looking over a shoulder at the news



















Ohio State news item


Greg Washington is a committed follower of Christ who is a professor and interim dean in Ohio State's College of Engineering.




There is a great video clip of Greg telling the story of how he became the first in his family to get a college education. You'll enjoy it and it will give you an idea of the kind of folks we get to interact with here at Ohio State--check it out at http://www.osu.edu/access/

One last thing
