One Week Ago

One week ago, I attended the Homeschool Alumni Ohio Winter Rendezvous.

One week ago yesterday, I drove across northern Ohio to join a unique group of people, most of whom I had never met.

One week ago last night was spent getting to know these folks, playing carpet ball, playing games, sharing jelly bellies and carrots, and playing instruments while we were just jammin' with our peeps. Who knows our occupations? And who knows if we really love our neighbors?

One week ago this morning was some of the best sledding I've seen in about 10 years, complete with tubing and a snowball fight. And that fateful toboggan ride ...

One week ago today was an afternoon spent in fellowship with new friends, playing games, talking, and sharing meals together. Voting down ridiculous sentences, playing scrabble with cards, laughing at mab gab, telephone, and of course, Hannah's hat getting stolen.

One week ago tonight was the formulation of the greatest mafia ever known.

One week ago late tonight was a time of sharing, and the grand entrance of to-be Senator Jason Samuel.

One week ago tomorrow was my birthday, shared with new friends, and a surprise cake!

One week ago tomorrow morning was a special service, where newly-met brothers and sisters from different locations and different denominational leanings shared in worship of God and the study of His Word.

One week ago tomorrow afternoon was an excellent time of discussion with the few who were able to stay a bit later.

One week ago tomorrow afternoon was, well .... when we all had to leave.

He said it best who said,

"We have come together because of two things: our love for the Lord and the common experience of homeschooling."

If you are a homeschooler or homeschool graduate, and you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out!
