This is my online journal/commonplace book. I use to post things that interest me or things that I want to keep track of and go back read at another time. I am an "Infojunkie" (as my mother loving dubbed me), and this blog allows me to have an outlet for my infojunkie ways. :o)

Bonhoeffer stated a beautiful spiritual truth when he wrote, “The person who loves their dream of community will destroy community, but the person who loves those around them will create community.”
He did it! He has his licence and his own vehicle all before he ends his 16th year. Wow! And he did it all himself… paid for the whole thing.
And on Saturday he took his first solo trip (meaning no parent with him) with his friend and his sister to Olds and back. They didn’t get to leave until they got a stern lecture from me about behaviors from the passengers and such. He did good.
Things will never be the same again. Sigh.

This quote describes me – “Then I realized something amazing–I don’t really want a master’s. I just want to learn.”
That’s me… I just want to learn. And I hope my kids have caught the learning bug too. :)
