Today was important. Matt enjoyed his first day of college at Wake Tech (he has 4 classes, 13 semester hours), actually did his homework, and admitted he was happy to be there.
Claire doesn't yet pronounce hallelujah correctly in church so let us say it as she would (before she too conforms to the norm), "halleyulah!"
May Matt continue to feel blessed to be in school and may Claire continue to be my spiritual buddy. Then we may have a shot at this.
