• A pair of travel items this week.....first, my daughter, Kirstin, is on
  her way to Honduras for a mission trip, returning next weekend. 
  May the LORD keep her and the rest of the team safe, and most
  important, may their trip be productive.

  Second, Mom and I will be heading down to the Mississippi coast on
  Thursday for a reunion of some of the other attendees of our
  now-defunct girls' college, Gulf Park.  Mom went there in the 40's
  (I hadn't thought about it before, but I suppose it must have been
  during WWII), and I was there my freshman year, 1969-1970, with a
  delayed start due to Hurricane Camille smashing the coast up right
  before school was scheduled to start.  We'll only be gone a couple
  of nights, returning Saturday evening.  Apparently we might not
  get to actually visit the campus itself, which had become part of the
  University of Mississippi system (I think that's right), as it was
  damaged by Katrina last year.

  It's been sixteen years since I even drove through the Mississippi gulf
  coast area, and that was prior to the casinos, so I daresay I literally
  won't recognize the area.  Along with the reunion, I'm
  anticipating meeting up with a friend of mine who moved to that area
  last year.  Looks to be a busy few days!
