Bragging on my daughter

Okay, it's time to brag. I'm a very fortunate dad. I have great kids. And I'm not just being paternal here. They are really, truly, genuinely great. And we get along tremendously well, despite our years of home schooling together and the fact that they have to put up with me. And, speaking of home school, I remember the people who wondered whether James and Megan could get a sufficient education at home. Well, I feel quite justified these days. And that brings us to the subject of this particular bit of bragging.

My daughter just finished her fifth semester of college and today she got her grades. She has maintained her perfect 4.0 and has all of her honor's credits wrapped up so that she'll graduate with an Honor's Degree.

See? Good reason to brag. And I guess we can put the whole "Do home schoolers get a good education?" debate to rest.

So, I put this on my blog for two reasons. One: I love bragging on my terrific kids. And two: I want to publicly thank Megan for her devotion to her studies and for all her hard work.

I'm a proud dad.

Revised GCA Midweek Studies Schedule

The "Wednesday Night Faithful" had a little powwow this evening and decided that we should suspend the midweek studies at GCA until after the first of the year. We have several regular attendees who are struggling with health issues, some are traveling, some are concentrating on finals, and everyone's busy with end-of-the-year plans and chores. So, since we were really only going to be meeting for two more weeks and then taking time off over the holidays, it was decided this evening that we would extend the holiday break and return January 6, 2010.

{Those poor Israelites ... we've left them under the influence of Balaam's trickery. But, they'll have to wait there until the new year rolls around.}

In the meantime, I'll be attempting to use the extra hours to finish several writing projects, I have another Theology Talk program in mind, and maybe -- just maybe -- I'll get caught up on my email correspondence. I can always hope.
