Everyone--I am going to be gone to Galilee (the site of so much biblical fishing) for the next ten days. I am unsure if there will be internet for me to use or not so chances are there will be no updates on my blog until I return. I know that this is severely disappointing to many of you, especially since you were all anticipating my account of Easter here. I am afraid that will have to wait. The combination of waiting for pictures to load on a slow internet connection and my lack of actual written material have hindered the publication of such a blog. I will give a better account when I return.

I don't know when you read these comments and I can't remember if they count as communication like an email, but I hope so, because that is my intent. Your blog accounts while not containing every detail, are wonderful and absorbing to read. I love the commentary and I love the pictures and the love the subject matter. My thought as I read is to say to myself, ""I wonder if Richard could tell me more about this? or I wonder if he could draw this out for me or maybe he will just start at the beginning of Jewish history and make it so clear that I will understand it and marvel at how it all fits together." Then I find myself wishing that I could just have the experience myself--I am learning many things about the Old Testament but at the same time realize that I am just scratching the surface. During spring break my gaol has been to read Chronicles and Jeremiah and the conference talks from last conference in preparation for the upcoming conference. So far so good. When the kids come back to seminary on April 1, we will play a little review game and ease back into the schedule and then I want to prepare them for conference by emphasizing the modern as well as ancient need to heed the prophets. Also, the you can put me in the line of those who want the details of Easter celebrated in Jerusalem. Not much else--spring break has been declared self-improvement week and Matthew has responded fairly well. He is meeting the goals most often although he did turn down my offer to conduct a one-day seminary for him and his friends based on the 7 habits book--he said he knew it was selfish but he wanted to keep me all to himself. I thought it sounded like fun. Anyway, today we have sunshine and the snow is melting and there is no winter storm approaching. WE have several pairs (at least 6) of ducks on the little swamp in front of our house plus a pair of geese and a pair of killdeer. I know they are supposed to be smarter than we humans about spring but they can't even swim on the pond until mid-morning because there is still ice from the night before! I would think twice about the location. And speaking of water, I went swimming this morning and should probably go shower. Besides as long as I keep typing I am tempted by Matthew's Easter candy which is sitting right by the computer and that would defeat my brief exercise victory of this morning. I sure do love you--I find myself counting the days until we will celebrate together. Take care--and thanks for the inspiration.
