We will be leaving Vermont soon. It has been nice to be here. We got to see our extended families some while here. It is nice to see them. I realise that I really enjoy my own family more than anything. I would rather spend time with my wife and kids than with anyone else. We will be seeing my dad next week. Haven't seen him in a while. Life is strange sometimes. I wonder and wonder to myself all the time. What's it all about? Why are we here? What is the purpose of it all? Just to exist and have kids and have them have kids and so on and so on? Life is so short! It is flying by. I am grateful we are travelling during this time of their youth. Our hope is that they and we get to see most of this country, or at least some of it. We are looking forward to going to FL for some warm weather. Grace said yesterday, "I can't wait to get to FL. How did I think I liked this kind of weather!" She is growing so much, as are the others. I finished reading Katies story so far. Her and GRace and Catherine are attempting to write a novel this month. I am personally impressed with each of their efforts. It is very interesting. I enjoy reading her stuff. She has created this whole universe and many people as well. I'm currently waiting for her next installment. My son is turning into a man. While I do get frustrated with his lack of self-control at times, the fact is that he has much more self control than I did at his age! He is growing and growing. I am impressed with his spiritual growth as well as his physical. I learn from him. He is a man of faith. I want to trust God as much as he does.
I had no particular reason for writing other than the fact that I just haven't in so long. God is taking great care of us. We have all that we need and then some. Sure I wish we had a newer vehicle for my bride, so we wouldn't have to be concerned of it breaking down, but it has been good so far. I trust my Creator to continue to provide for all our needs as a family. HE is so good to us. Thank God we do not get what we deserve. His mercy is new every day toward us.
