Over the next day or two we’ll gather together pictures and videos and run some of those here as well. For today’s installment, let me just say that Lem Lem’s super hero name has been Changed to Queen of Sheba. Much more fitting. You’ll probably understand why as we go. To that let me add, that she is well and http://web.mac.com/pastormac_/iWeb/Pastormac%20blog/pondering/32384FD4-A82C-4FFF-97AF-1BE3DE3AB96A.html http://web.mac.com/pastormac_/iWeb/Pastormac%20blog/pondering/32384FD4-A82C-4FFF-97AF-1BE3DE3AB96A.html Sat, 4 Aug 2007 01:55:36 -0600 I thought we were doing good. WE had most of our packing done by much earlier today, but somehow we still ended up doing last minute stuff until now. I’m about to get the car loaded and then catch a couple hours before our flight. While I’m gone my daughter will be helping keep both my blog and PA’s blog alive. I’ll try to email entries while we’re gone, but I’m very unsure what our internet capabilities will be, so we’ll see. Also, as with HSLT, some of the counters and videos and such wil http://web.mac.com/pastormac_/iWeb/Pastormac%20blog/pondering/5A411FC3-1371-44FB-BFCC-87C7E00E026E.html http://web.mac.com/pastormac_/iWeb/Pastormac%20blog/pondering/5A411FC3-1371-44FB-BFCC-87C7E00E026E.html Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:41:49 -0600 Now that we’ve finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I will make no further comment on it until we’ve returned from Ethiopia. Sometime after that we will have our “prediction party” at the Aloha families house where we will find out just how well or poorly I did in my predictions. By that time, most people who care will have finished the book and with the appropriate spoiler alerts, we will report here on the results of the challenge. For now though, our house and life is all http://web.mac.com/pastormac_/iWeb/Pastormac%20blog/pondering/7A770821-1AF8-4CE7-BB23-835158637E1F.html http://web.mac.com/pastormac_/iWeb/Pastormac%20blog/pondering/7A770821-1AF8-4CE7-BB23-835158637E1F.html Sat, 28 Jul 2007 18:16:14 -0600 Ok, we’ve managed to read over a hundred pages a day for the last few days. I admit it, it means I”m letting the kids stay up a bit late, but we’re trying to finish before mom and dad head off to Ethiopia! So, thus far, I still there has been nothing conclusive about any of my predictions. And, I can’t really say that there are clear signals that any of them are right. Furthermore, my wife and children are pretty confident that my two major predictions (which you’ll just have to attend the p
