Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to college we go!


Our oldest son, Josiah, has been safely deposited at Patrick Henry College, with many smiles, hugs, prayers, and a few tears (ours, not his, just for clarification). It was very hard to let him go, but you gotta love a school where the college president and his wife pray for the parents, then ask the parents to pray for their son or daughter before saying the last good-bye. What an awesome, godly school! As our nine-year-old son, Gabriel (who has Down syndrome), watched Josiah walk away and realized he was staying and we weren't, through tears said over and over, "No, Josiah going! Josiah going!" Yes, Josiah is going exactly where God wants him, and we are so proud of the fine man he has become - but we will all miss him terribly!
