Beating the heat

I was impressed that we still had plenty of students last week, in spite of the record temperatures. So while I was coordinating and teaching our English classes at Acorn, Peter went on a field trip with 4 of our neighbors.

Now that our own kids are grown up, Peter needed someone to play with and invited the Refugio family children. The highlight of the trip was probably the campfire and s'mores, but the kids are still young enough that they enjoyed the frigid water.

On a completely different topic, I have created a section for links on the right side of the blog and so far I have included two that have to do with immigration. I plan to add to these and change them from time to time as I find interesting articles and/or websites. I wholeheartedly recommend the on-line and print magazine called Prism, published by Evangelicals for Social Action. If you haven't heard of it, definitely check it out - Ron Sider is the head of the organization and they have been doing wonderful work for about 25 years now.
