What a joy this weekend has been!

I improved one friendship that I will be able to cultivate more over the summer, because my friend lives about 20 minutes away from me. I made a new friend who goes to college in the DC area, and who knows PHC people. I talked to a professor who is running a crossbreed between homeschool and a private school for the homeschoolers in his area - 2-3 days in school, 2-3 days at home. I re-met Lieutenant General Bunting, who was the president of VMI when I applied there five years ago. I learned about Milton Friedman. But best of all... I shared at least four good, solid conversations about God, and I found that everything I've been learning this semester for my history project is directly applicable to real life. I am seriously uplifted...

Though I only wrote 2.5 pages of my project this weekend. I have difficult times ahead, with at least 20 pages of material still to cover. Right now, I am at peace about it. In fact, I am eager to get back to it, because I see all over again just how useful my project will be as an eBook. I also have new book ideas.

Although this ends my year as an ISI Honors Fellow, I fully intend to stay involved with this organization. These conferences have been some of the best, integrated, compact learning experiences of my life. I drink every drop of learning they have to offer, and I want more. :)  ¶ 6:20 AM
