War is imminent in the Middle East and I don’t think I’ve ever been this anxious about the state of the world and where things are going. God is in control, I know that. I just pray that His people and those who are innocent will be specially protected. One of the concerns I have is for safe travels for us on our Spring Break trip to Florida. Michele and I and the kids are really looking forward to the trip and I hope that the flights will be safe and that other family members who are driving will be safe as well. Michele and I recently sold our Honda Accord and Ford Windstar to buy a new, used Honda Odyssey minivan. It’s got power everything and has low mileage. What a difference! We are relieved to have more reliable transportation and don’t mind downsizing to just one vehicle. Living in a small town like this, and so close to my work, makes it quite doable for us. Tristan and Keegan have been quite sick of late. Keegan is better and has been back to school the last several days. However, Tristan hasn’t been doing well, continuing to have a fever and not eating hardly anything for several days. Michele took him to the doctor yesterday. Hopefully he’ll turn the corner soon. He’s been very clingy to me, like a remora is to a shark
