"Even the darkness is light to Him,

The night is as bright as the day.

So you are safe though the light grows dim,

For even the darkness is light to Him."

~Michael Card

Please pray for direction as we will need to relocate again soon. May God clearly show us where he wants us to live. Our search for a Suburban, etc. to buy still continues; several doors have closed in that regard. Pray for wisdom in ordering our days, for family unity, for spiritual growth, and for a closer walk with God for each of us.

After speaking for two days at the homeschool conference, the Farewells and Quines came by to visit. It was our privilege to welcome them and to help them make some unique Alaska memories.

So many of you have provided school supplies for us ~ Thank you for lightening our burden.
A gigantic "Thank you" to Steve Demme of Math U See who sent boxes of math to us free of charge. There is no way to express our deep gratitude. Thank you also to Chickabiddy Books and Kelly.
At the homeschool conference Mrs. Weiss (of Greathall Productions) generously gave us numerous complimentary cds to replace those which had burned. Her words and smile were a great encouragement to us.
Wynn spends hours listening to the Weiss storytelling recordings.

Kelly continues to arrange for dinners to be brought to our family during this topsy turvy time. What a blessing each one has been to us! Thank you to every one involved in ministering to us by bringing food.

Thanks to Becky and children for another wonderful meal.
Shannon and family get a tour of the ashes when they stop by with a scrumptious dinner.
Special deliveryman Mr. Reich and his family provided us with incredible support, provision, and encouragement over the past four weeks.

Having five kids practicing for the upcoming recital on Saturday is largely possible thanks to Dr. Reisinger and the use of his Clavinova.
Angelic came for a visit recently and attended the homeschool convention with us. It was a blessing to see her again.
Ice fishing has become an exciting and daily part of Wynn's life. So far all the fish have remained under the ice.

Practicing gymnastics on the edge of the dumpster adds a new dimension to life. Whenever we see the Ramsey dumpster, we think of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.
