About half way through closing devotion one afternoon, and after the umpteenth time of pronouncing Juan as "Joo On" and Jose with a hard J sound and only one syllable (sort of like 'hose' but with a J), the kids began to look confused and finally asked, "What in the world is he reading?"  Pesco showed the devotion to a classmate who broke out laughing and provided the correct pronunciation:  "Whan" and "Ho-Za" (long 'o' and long 'a').  We all had a good laugh, including Pesco.

"When will the kids be getting Spring Break?"

"Chuck, I've been meaning to ask you.  Who does your shirts?  They really look nice, and I was wondering..."

It would be nice to say that perhaps the ladies ventured out that morning in faith, confident that God would provide a way. But that’s not the case – just look at their conversation. “Who will roll the stone away…?” is recorded in Mark, but I can imagine the conversation going on... ‘Why didn’t you wake one of the men to help us?’ 'Oh sure, you try getting Peter up at this hour for anything except fishing!' ‘I brought the spices, why didn’t you think of bringing tools for the stone?’ ‘Am I supposed to remember everything?’
