My adopted children

Kyle and Ryan have written about college days spent at the Thomas house in Potosi.  Thanks to them for the kind words--truth is, we were so greatly blessed by all the men and women who came that we could hardly stand it.  I feel sure if Sam had not died before they graduated, he would have been blue and very depressed by their leaving.-----They came and ate, courted future spouses and ate, played hide and seek in the barn and ate, frolicked in the hot tub and ate, caroled up and down the road and ate, made crazy videos and ate---They "grew up" to be an English professor, a church administrator,business consultants,  accountants, a school principal, an estate manager, worship leaders, a doctor, businessmen and women, teachers, lawyers, missionaries, a graphic designer, a youth minister, a journalist, preachers, salesmen, a physical therapist, wonderful husbands and wives and parents.-----I am as proud of them as I would be if they were my very own (and they were). -----Dear Lord, bless them all wherever they are today.
