While The Cat’s Away…

Truth be told the cat hasn’t gone anywhere (unfortunately), but the wife has. Some ladies from our church hold an annual weekend retreat, and this just so happens to be the weekend Aileen is away. She is in Niagara Falls with the group just having a weekend away and a time of worship and learning. In the meantime, I am minding the kids all weekend. Though rewarding, it leaves me absolutely no time for writing, so it is unlikely I will have much to say today and tomorrow. Abby woke up and called (screamed) for Aileen for about an hour or two last night so we’re all a bit tired.

But not to complain! I am happy to have the time to spend with the kids. I wish you all a good weekend!

    Jonathan Tepper grew up watching his missionary parents transform the lives of heroin addicts in Madrid. Though he has wandered from the faith, his memoir may be the most Christian book you read this year.
