OK, OK!  I get the message!  Yes, it's true; I have been very busy.  It's also true that I should have been fair and put a little of myself here.  But that's the rub.  I am an extreme introvert and writing to everyone and no one in particular seems quite difficult for me.  I have written thousands of e-mails, but these were specific subjects to specific people.  I gave my testimony in church a couple of weeks ago as a mini sermon and had little trouble (I knew my audience and I could look them in the eye), but this seems harder.  Anyway, I appologise.  I have been reading Joshua's, Kendra's, Kim's and other's words and have been nothing but a black hole.

Hey, come to think of it, this is amazing!  It's after 9:00 PM and Joshua or Kim aren't on the phone.  It is already quieter with him gone.  I'll say more about this when I get the words.

We had a terrific time at BICS.  We got to spend a little time with Kendra over breakfast (I don't know if I could list all the reasons why, but I totally adore this gal) and much of a day with Joshua and Kim.  We got to meet some of Kim's adopted family and two of her sisters.  What delightful people!  I hope Kim can come up with Joshua a few times.  No wonder he likes her - what a gem.

Say good night, Tom!  Yes, I'm rambling a little.  I'll try again another day.
