Ehlana and Ethan:
Happy 9th Birthday, William Connor!
Happy 26th Birthday, Ryan Cross!
Ethan and I didn’t have anything to do with either of the birthdays of the day, but Cassie and Michael sent a gift for Ryan and did a vid-chat with him this morning at breakfast. We did wish William the best while at school, but that mostly just surprised him – as it does for other kids and teens that aren’t really used to talking to us at all as we run in different circles.
As for our own adventures, Tai Chi was by the river; we had fun at school with our academic adventures and band practice; and then we were home for dinner and some studying before heading to the church for the teen praise team practice. Easter is coming up fast, so we had a longer practice with a full run-through of the sunrise service and the rest of the music we’ll be doing over the holiday weekend; so we were later than normal getting home too. Mom and Dad were still working in the office then, so we did some work and a Magi lesson with Mom; and then we headed up to the third floor to get ready for bed and deal with the computer checks and enjoy the wind-down twin chat fun.
As I write that, ‘fun’ is not really the word to use for the world news of the day. President Trump is talking about peace with Iran again, but we don’t believe the words when what is actually happens includes moving thousands of troops to the Middle East along with the weapons that would be needed for a ground invasion. It doesn’t matter what their goals are; any ground offensive is insanity and an escalation that can only end badly for everyone. Iran’s leaders are not going to see all of that incoming weaponry and personnel and believe that peace is imminent – they’ll get ready for what is coming and be ready to fight back and retaliate. They’ve warned of this; so our leaders can’t claim that they are surprised if their actions backfire. Okay, they’ll try to lie anyway, but nobody should believe them – just as they shouldn’t believe them now.
Ethan and I are tired; so we’re not going to rant on this anymore. The ‘extension’ that President Trump gave Iran on Monday expires on Friday; and we expect that the next escalation will come this weekend – if not a bit sooner. We’ll keep you posted on that even though it will be history for you whenever you’re reading this update, so stay tuned for that; and we’ll go have a nap starting right now.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
