Well, my sweet cousin Ryan is off to Iraq after a couple of months training in the States. Needless to say, while we all look happy in the going away photo, it was a bittersweet send off.
I'm very proud of Ryan (back row, black t-shirt) and his decision to join the National Guard. And I know he goes in the Lord's care. I believe when he said, "See ya next year," that he was being prophetic. So, see ya next year, cousin! Travel safe.
As my trip to Portugal approaches, I feel disconcerted sometimes--the world is so volatile a place. But it always has been, really. Not to mention that our own neighborhood streets are probably the most dangerous (those darn cars!). Each of us goes with God and according to his will every day. So let's just live and love to the full.
