Sunday, August 13th will not be a day our family will ever forget - not Mom, Dad, or any of the kids, Wil (14), Maggie(12) or Charlie (10). Not withstanding our "many and great provocations" against one another over the years, what we discovered today in a new way, is the love we have for one another and especially for Wil - for today was the day that our family moved "Beyond Aquia". We took Wil to Fork Union Military Academy to start his high school career and begin his first football camp.
Yep - after 3 years of public school and 6 years of home school, our firstborn is venturing out into the world - not just to boarding school, but to military school. What? You're sending him to military school?Please pray for Wil and for those of us at home in Aquia. Sadness is and was the theme of the day. In some respects it was to be expected - but it took us all by surprise. And unless you've lived through it, it's very hard to explain.
This blog will hopefully serve as a place for us to capture thoughts, pictures, stories and memories as we go along the path that God has for us and as our family spreads its wings and ventures out into the great unknown "Beyond Aquia".
Jer 29:11
