I heard from my son over the weekend.\u00a0 Saturday and Sunday were rest days for them, so on Saturday they walked around and did a little shopping.\u00a0 Jeffrey bought a hat.\u00a0 On Sunday, they went to church and then to an alligator farm.\u00a0 I have a picture of Jeffrey petting a rather large alligator.\u00a0 I hope he comes back with all his limbs!\u00a0 Tomorrow, it\u2019s back to work for this team until Thursday, then they begin their two day journey back to Accra.<\/p>\n
It was sort of a weird weekend for me.\u00a0 I cut off a driver on Saturday and he pretty much terrorized me for the next four miles (I was making a safe lane change, but this other guy sped up in an attempt to not let me in \u2013 kind of a jerk move, really).\u00a0 He had major anger issues after that.\u00a0 At least he didn\u2019t have a gun, though he did try to make me run into things and he got in front of me and slammed on his brakes.\u00a0 Really, I should have dialed 911, but I was trying to avoid this jerk.\u00a0 If he followed me too much more, I would have driven to the police station.\u00a0\u00a0 That evening, my buddy Ray and I attempted to add a much-needed second monitor to our Adult Ed computer so the video person could see what’s on the projector, but after two hours, we couldn’t get it to work.\u00a0 We left very frustrated.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, I got a little harassed by someone who doesn\u2019t like me very much.\u00a0 We\u2019ve had some clashes in the past and it has become his mission in life to publicly humiliate me whenever he can while I\u2019m teaching my Adult Ed. classes.\u00a0 Usually, if he sees that I\u2019m teaching, he simply doesn\u2019t show up, but he really likes this particular study so he\u2019s coming for that but he doesn\u2019t really tolerate me as a teacher.\u00a0 He looks for me to say something wrong and then he pounces on me.\u00a0 C\u2019mon guy, I\u2019m a volunteer!\u00a0 Let it go!\u00a0 Besides, he was wrong in his ascertation that I was wrong when he interrupted me.\u00a0 All he did was disrupt my class for no benefit and make for an awkward moment.\u00a0 We need more grace in this world, not more law.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s in the Bible somewhere.<\/p>\n
Well, my evening didn\u2019t get much better.\u00a0 The Niners got absolutely hammered by Seattle in a very painful, one-sided game.\u00a0 At least all the other stuff between these events was pretty wonderful.\u00a0 All in all, it was a pretty good weekend, though with some bumps along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
