Tuesday News Bytes

Good morning gang.  Sorry for the absence the past few days.  My wife and daughters came back from their France trip on Thursday afternoon, so I was in DC for a good part of the day.  One of our vans picking up the team had a wreck on I-66 on the way out, so that caused another 2 hour delay on an already worn out group.

Friday was spent preparing for and teaching a new class for our home school co-op.  This year a friend and I are filling young skulls full of mush with the concept of worldview and how to understand current events.  This is a class of middle and high school kids where we will first learn what a worldview is, why it is important that you understand yours, and how one is formed.  Then we’ll build a defense for a Christian worldview (this is a Christian group).  We will spend the rest of the year looking at current events (I’m so happy this is an election cycle) and using what we’ve learned about our own worldview and that of the reporters, analyze the news and stories with an eye on getting to the truth.  I think its going to be a blast, and the kids seem very enthusiastic about it.

Saturday, I took a group of guys down the mighty Gauley River in West Virginia.  It is my 3rd time doing this river, but it is always a challenge.  Big water, technical execution and very chilly conditions make for a great day of white water.

Yesterday was a typical Monday in that everyone wanted everything yesterday.  So finally I have a minute to breathe and catch up on some blogging.  Thanks to the crew for keeping the ship afloat.
