Giving It All

I am so proud of my beautiful bride. She has been putting her heart and soul into her high schoolers and I can't believe how well she is doing. She would probably tell you that she is not doing as well as she would like, but she blows me away with her teaching.
For example last week she took her class to the beach for two days and nights so that they could explore ancient civilizations. On the first day they were a stone age tribe. They built fires, gutted fish for their lunch, cooked rabbit for dinner and engaged with the idea of people living in a culture before agricultre or animal husbandry. Day two they had root vegetables, grains, plus goat. (They had advanced and enjoyed their meals much more) On the last day they were in modern civilazation and went to the Dempsey house to shower and have pancakes for breakfast. Then they went to the mall and watch "Voyage to the Center of the Earth". It was a long three days for everyone, but I believe an experiance that they will never forget.
It's a new season with P working full time at the school, but we are starting to get our rhythem of life down again. With school taking so much time it has been hard to do much else. But things are evening out and the kids are happy. There is so much to be thankful for from the school actually functioning, to the relationships with the 6 high schoolers she is teaching. It will be interesrting to see how this year goes. Keep us in prayer as we press into this. Be Blessed, Pass it On
