Seasons of Life

     May is here as is the graduation of our first child, Chris...The last two years since being back from France have been a whirl wind of change and tomorrow he is offically finished with highschool.
Chris started out home-schooling never really liking it, I'm still not sure why, but he ended up graduating home-schooled, since the public schools would not work with us and accept any of his first two years of highschool credits, he withdrew and finished his last credits at Tulsa Community College dual enrollment program open to homeschoolers and played Rugby (he took honors classes and did well) and he is done.
We are not having a grandiose graduation. He would have loved to "walk" with his friends from Webster High School but I didn't even think it would have been possible, so he watched and went to as many "Senior" things as he could. (his girlfriend Sarah was graduating there) ...being a part but not...
I guess as Christians that is how we live; In this world but not of it. We did announcements and senior pictures and a diploma and he is having a party tomorrow night. Since we haven't been here for long and family is not close by.. it will be us and his friends and I am sad...I am not sure why. I guess I want things to be the same... but in the next 4 years I will be releasing all my boys and I often wish they were little again building forts and dressing up as Peter Pan or Gospel Bill or Superman.. Those day are memories now, But they will always be heros to me and more importantly they can be supermen to their generations and to their children when the time comes.. touching many lives for Christ and living life to the fullest and the glory of God.

Life is changing....It is becoming a new season for our family.
