Seasons change things. The awesomeness of spring in the Sonoran Desert surely moves into the blistering heat of summer. Family and friends graduate and move on with their lives. People die and are gone from our day-to-day actions. People retire from long and blessed careers. Things are always changing.
My wife, Wendy, has decided to retire from teaching. She has blessed thousands upon thousands of students, teachers, parents, and school employees. She has devoted herself to their benefit. They are better off because of her sacrifice.
Now, the season has changed, and it is time for her to explore new adventures, possibilities, and opportunities. What will she do? Who knows! I just celebrate that she has what seems like endless options.
Shalom, Paul
