Moving

I'm not very excited about moving because I'm going to miss my friends. We're moving to Czech Republic. First, we're moving to Washington, D.C. We're going to learn a new language--that will be fun. I don't want to move!!!

A peculiar blog

Tash has the honor of being an Olmsted Scholar assigned to the Czech Republic. He's on assignment to immerse himself in Czech culture and build a foundation for being an outstanding officer and leader. K is his chief support staff--the one who keeps the home fires burning and makes life comfortable and beautiful. Together they have six children--SAMB1B2V.

The Lord has said that He will have a peculiar people. We are peculiar indeed--not quite like other students, not quite like other military families. Few people here have ever seen a family this large in this generation. Standing out gives the opportunity to stand up and be counted, to let your light shine. And all light reflects the greatest Light of all.

Life is full of adventures, large and small. The small adventures are sometimes the most beautiful: a fox darting out of the bushes, a caterpillar crawling slowly across a leaf. Then again, there are the once-in-a-lifetime adventures, when whole families are uprooted from their culture and language into new lands where everything is different . . . except maybe there are still caterpillars inching across leaves even in these new places.

We have criss-crossed the American continent seven times, the Atlantic ocean once, and are set up in Prague, CZ (and from there--the world!). We have seen coyotes, casinos, castles, and many, many caterpillars. This is our family's journal of adventures, both large and small--and of our search for light in peculiar places.
