Fall Break
I am a little behind, but last Friday night was the night before the residents headed home to visit their families for fall break. They were very excited and their suitcases were already packed and ready to go. Enjoy them!

Do we compromise time with our children so that they are enrolled in all the right schools and activities?
Do we compromise the precious company before us for a tiny screen and 10 keys?
Do we compromise our marriages for the vicarious relationships we have with Hollywood?
Do we compromise clothing the poor for the aim of a full closet?
Do we compromise the sound of the rain for the sound of a square box in our living room?
Do we compromise witnessing the ever-changing sunset for the evening news?
Do we compromise turning old, yellow pages in a book for a latest and greatest technology?
Do we compromise the safety of our lover's arms for a scripted glimpse into reality?
Do we compromise having a voice in our children’s lives to make happy hour instead?
