Oh, the Places We'll Go.

In 24 days, our family will be moving to Rocky Mount, North Carolina, where Tim has accepted a call to be the Senior Pastor of a wonderful congregation called Oakdale Baptist Church:  WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!  In anticipation of our relocation, I bought a copy of the classic Dr. Seuss book for my kids as a moving gift.  We love reading it together and dreaming of the fabulous plans the Lord has in store for the five of us.

Here are a few of our favorite parts...

Congratulations!  Today is your day.

You're off to Great Places!

You're off and away!

It's opener there in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen and frequently do

to people as brainy and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen, don't worry.  Don't stew.

Just go right along.  You'll start happening too.

You'll be on your way up!  You'll be seeing great sights!

You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

On and on you will hike.  And I know you'll hike far 

and face up to your problems whatever they are. 

And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed!

(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

Kid, you'll move mountains!

So...be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray

or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,

you're off to great Places!  Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting.  So...get on your way!
