Update on Haiti
“We have two choices–to die fast or to die slow.”
Please take the time to watch this TV program. It’s a haunting, heart-wrenching look at the past 6 weeks, with difficult questions about how the future can be different than the past for Haiti.

Words for the wise
When I looked through Word Wise, by Alison Brown, I could have wished Talitha were a couple of years younger. I think she would have loved the games in this workbook. And I would have loved the information she was picking up as she played.
The back cover explains Word Wise like this:
Many children have heard the stories of Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Daniel etc. but are still unaware of the chronology of the Bible, or the important part each character played in God’s big plan for mankind. Using word searches, jumbled sentences, number codes, and crosswords, these pages provide a journey through the Bible to help children see the “big picture.”
This is labeled “Volume 1.” I think these 31 pages will leave you wishing for volume 2, 3, and more.

Home
We were welcomed home by hugs from Talitha, who had cleaned the house, baked banana bread, and put bouquets on the kitchen table and in our bedroom.
We went out to lunch to celebrate. Now we’re just enjoying being here.
If you’ve read any of my chaos posts, you’ll appreciate my resolve that I won’t go to bed tonight until my suitcase is unpacked (and the stuff put where it belongs!). That’s my least favorite part of traveling.
