[Faith-talk] Faith-Talk Digest, Vol 119, Issue 18

Wed Jun 21 20:23:54 UTC 2017

I will keep you in my prayers. My oldest son has a VMS implant that controls his seizure activity. As someone who closely knows someone who deals with seizures, I can relate to the "pins and needles" feeling of praying that everything turns out for the best.

> Its a smaller center in the Pillsbury(yes, of doughboy fame) mansion. There is a bit more focus on career than hobbies, only because it has less space. There are fewer students so classes are more one to one. Another neat thing is they have esl learners so you get to learn about other cultures.  The skills and attitude are the same as any other center.  I chose there for its proximity to WI so i can see family and the teacher/student ratio. I am so blessed i have family fully supporting the endeavor.
