As a father, will always have this part of my heart that wants to keep your son from experiencing disappointment, pain, unhappiness - and to maximize peace, joy, excitement. But thats not what life is about, thats not my responsibility; not when you were a child, nor as an adult. <BR/><BR/>I do commit you to the Lord's care, and firmly believe that his hand will guide you as well as protect you. Excited for you to experience all the challenges that will help you to grow. As I told you not long before you left, 2 years can seem like a long time on this side of it. After it's done, it will seem like it was over too soon. So enjoy every minute of your adventure, soak it into your being, both good and - not so. Looking forward to vicariously sharing in your experiences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16740900.post-1127150723791877852005-09-20T02:25:00.000+09:002005-09-20T02:25:00.000+09:00Hey Jonny, So you're just about to embark on your...Hey Jonny, <BR/>So you're just about to embark on your adventure... I want to send you off with an enormous BRAVO! ...and I feel sure it'll be an incredibly enriching, rewarding experience. My own Peace Corps experience in Guatemala sure was - it was life changing, in fact.<BR/><BR/>Good luck finding that simpler life... LOL<BR/>Daily life may look simpler on the surface - less "stuff" to clutter up your life, - but I found adapting to a new culture (actually several cultures) to be anything but simple. That's not a complaint BTW - it was a challenge - but a challenge I willingly, even joyfully accepted. And learned and grew from :^)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
