Whodunit?


So the semester that Jonathan was studying in France, he sent me a copy of this book in French for my birthday. The pictures were quite humorous and we had lots of fun trying to figure out the story. Fortunately my roommate, Jennifer, knew French and was able to translate the story for us. We laughed even harder. I have had lots of fun over the years showing the book around to various friends trying to get them to predict what the story is about. People rarely guess correctly on the first try. I was in a local bookstore this week and found a copy in HEBREW!! Of course I had to buy it. I have decided to start a collection. I am sure the German guys who wrote it had no idea that it would one day be translated into so many languages and be so popular around the world. :)

Thank you!

We have been watching some old home videos. As I watch Jonathan as a preteen - that awkard age - he shows times of just that - being an awkard preteen. How did he transition to the incredible young man that we all know and love? First and foremost is the fact that God grew him to be the young man He needed. Also, people invested in Jonathan. Each person that has written on this blog invested in Jonathan. So a little bit of each of you helped him grow. So the challenge for today is to continue investing in young people. And since several of you are young parents, begin now to pray for people to invest in the lives of your children.
Today is Mother's Day. I want to say thanks to each of you.
I needed a bit of Jonathan today, so each of you blessed me with the stories that you shared.
I love you all!
