So we had another round of visitors last week. My cousin and her husband were in Chicago and had a week to spare before they headed to Orlando (and then home to Singapore) for another company function. After their Chicago conference, they visited a cousin in NY and then flew over to our neck of the woods to visit my family. It was just a short visit but a truly enjoyable one. They had never been to the South and my cousin never experienced fall. What a treat for her! It's great to have relatives in almost every continent of the world. Surely God has a purpose in scattering us all over...one day, things will become clearer. Throughout my different life sojourns, spiritual and continental, I know His Hand has been evident, and I'm thankful. Very thankful.

And yes, school was once more “diluted”. And what with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner, I'm not sure how much JBC I will cover for the rest of the year. MWOG too has been on the back burner. The Intrepid study has been progressing nicely though, abeit slowly.

I do have something to say about the last lesson on Gideon. But life beckons, so I'll let the matter rest till I have another sliver of time.
