The first day is over.....

Mark survived his first day of private school. Since it's a small school (about 240 students, grades 9-12, compared to around 2000 at public school), he ran into his sister Christina between every class. A boy he met at Christina's freshman orientation who is also an upperclassman has a locker right next to Mark's--though they don't have any classes together. This boy had a Bob Marley shirt on the day of the orientation (probably won't wear it at school), so I think they will hit it off. (Bob Marley was a reggae singer of the 70s or so--one of his famous songs was "I Shot The Sherriff" also made popular by another band.)

Today he brought his tenor sax for his first hour band class. Yesterday he finished his homework right after school, and asked me to pick up some binders that he needed for a few classes. Who knows, maybe today he'll make a friend or two at lunch. We'll take one day at a time, and keep on our knees each day, too. Our prayer is that Mark will grow in his faith and learning at this Christian high school.

Till next time,
