This week marks the first week of work with the Coalition.  So far, it's been a blast!!!  The kids are great!  The one's I've worked with (3rd and 1st graders) are willing to learn and know that they have to finish their homework before they can go play.  The 1st graders are so darn adorable!  Tomorrow should be fun :).

This past weekend, several Emmanuel students/faculty and families went to Lake Junaluska, North Carolina, for retreat.  It was gorgeous, to say the least!  I would absolutely love to go back there for another small vacation.  It's about an hour and a half away from here so that's not a bad trip at all.  We didn't get to explore much of the area around it, but if there were a mall and such, I could probably convince the in-laws to take a trip down with us ;).

In home news, I got an email from Michael the other day about an old member of the Campus House.  His name is Malcolm Richards and, if you know him, be very careful around him.  Those of us who know a bit about Malcolm's history with the Campus House know that his current offenses aren't the first offenses he's ever committed (just ask Michael H., Tad, or Jeff).  The crime he recently committed was claiming to have a bomb strapped to himself to gain an officer's gun and squad car in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.  I can't really say that I'm surprised, but the one thing I find incredibly fascinating is how much Malcolm's story is like the antagonist's plot lines of Frank Peretti's The Visitation.  Strange, yet interesting.  Please, pray for Malcolm.

I hope everyone's had a great start to their week!  I know I have :D
