Friends
Five friends (including the newly returned P19) modelling their dresses from Uganda which P19 brought them.
Those of us who are grown and have experienced saying good-by to good friends as we leave for or from school know all to well the feelings of the above quote. Personally, I don't like change, even when it's good. I get too comfortable with where I am. I grieve just a little for this group of girls above. They have been wonderful friends for the past three years and I have had the privilege of leading their Bible study group for that time. They are a remarkable group of young women whom I love very much. Many of them will be heading to college in the fall and in a small way, this picture is a historic moment. My prayers for them include the hope that they will maintain the bonds of friendship they have now for the rest of their lives.

Tomorrow and Saturday is the Illinois Home Educator's Conference... which is where I'll be. Anyone else going? Look for me and say 'hi' if you are.
