In the midst of a celebration it is unnerving to feel vulnerable, but I can't better describe the feeling of seeing a beloved first born son take an oath to serve his country in front of a thousand people at a football game during halftime.
Yes, he was awarded a four-year scholarship to a very nice private college. He has his next several years sort of locked in. Cause for celebration, surely, but also a little melancholy.
Tomorrow my next son starts his classes at the University. It will be an early day for him, and long. How different his life will be for now!
Margaret has survived her first full week of college. It had its moments of despair, but she seems to be ready to tackle this week.
I am ready for a productive school week as well, with some time logged in at Primerica and other fruitful activity.
Perhaps it has been said, but we are truly in a time of economic depression, and it affects ALL of us. Some of us feel the pain more acutely than others. Depressions have ends, but often not soon enough for significant damage to have its effect.
We are all vulnerable right now, and our world should be colored by that dusky presence of our economic woes.
When a brilliant mathematician, electrical engineer, English literature major, peer-reviewed writer, loyal husband and father cannot land decent employment WE ARE IN AN ECONOMIC DEPRESSION.
And we are all vulnerable. Thank the Lord that He is the provider, and not the Economy!
And I am remembering to be thankful in all things.
Check out recommended books. I'm adding some.

Update, for you readers who are following: The Iowa company gave a Nay to my husband. The manager said he wanted to extend an offer so badly to my husband, but the shareholders and board were unwilling to project another hiring into the budget. They are waiting for the economy to change. Really. Guess my post was prescient. Election coming next year is a factor----Really. Amazing. Well, that's one door closed for now.
