I feel the need to keep blogging even before I leave, and also to continue even though no one else may ever read my blogs !! Writing is so very therapeutic for me. It is good for the soul, and so calming for me.

A lot is happening right now, I'm trying to return to school after 20 days off on Medical Leave of Absence. I need to be with my kids again, and soak in their enthusiasm and love of life. Since this may be my last month of teaching for a while, well, formal teaching, I need the closure of returning to the school that I love, and finishing the school year well. I hope to volunteer and/or substitute in one of the international schools in Libya while I am there. I need to be able to return to the states if I am needed here. Now, my sister, Lee is a priority, after learning of her battle with cancer. Please pray for her with all of your heart, that God will heal and give her peace.

Also, I am to be a "Gramma" again in January, my son, Brian and his sweet wife,Mary, are expecting their second baby. JOY !! I know Dylan will be an awesome big brother. So, I have some very important family situations, and I want to be available to come home if I am needed.

Our visas are being processed, we are expecting to begin our shots soon, and things are proceeding for our adventure to Tripoli. Please pray for us, dear friends and family.

Love,
