Life goes in cycles. I know for some people in this family the cycle is spring training, 1st half, all star game, 2nd half, play-offs, World Series, depression. When “Barney” was in the police academy we spent a lot of time praying for him. When he graduated we all felt like we had participated.

At this time we are heavily involved in “getting” Timothy through BUD/s. I don’t mean to blog about it all time but I haven’t been thinking of much else lately.

In a most amazing providence one of Timothy’s cousins is a pastor San Diego. This weekend his wife sent us a picture of Timothy. We were all a bit shocked at how thin he looks, but his spirits are much higher than they were a week ago. Timothy is a bit embarrassed that I am blogging about him since he knows the chances of getting through BUD/s are slim. As a matter of fact, he knows that he can’t get through BUD/s unless God has a purpose for him to get through.

And in the meantime, here is a link that gives a detailed explanation of each BUD/s phase.

Here is the page which describes the week Timothy is on. Isn’t that drown-proofing awful?

I will try to resume my humorous or controversial posts soon. Maybe I will blog about new evidence that supports the claim that it is perfectly fine to end a sentence with a preposition and indeed, always has been or another topic near and dear to my heart, the boorishness of gestapo homeschool moms.
