August: a month of beach days with friends, church on the beach, and visiting Uncle Glenn and Auntie Ruth at their A-frame up in Pupukea which he built from his own hands. A month of rest between two round trip flights back to the midwest to finish up some weddings, a time to pray over our friend’s classroom, students, and school which we are now hearing how God has/is answering those prayers with power, and a month we packed up our whole little cottage in preparation for a category 5 hurricane Lane that never came!
