Dead Week
March 14th, 2008
It’s dead week on campus. That’s another way of describing the week before finals. Hard to beleive another quarter has come and gone. We marked the occasion at our weekly pb&j picnic this afternoon, where we also said goodbye to students who’ll be studying abroad next quarter. You’ll notice a special face in the back row next to me–that’s my mom!
She’s down visiting from Alaska. We’ve been having a lot of fun together. I spoke at a conference last weekend and used her as my “visual aid”. Then we went and stayed with some special family friends. This week she’s been hanging out close to campus, even coming to Chi Alpha this week where I preached on the significance of Palm Sunday.
This weekend I will be sharing at Adobe Christian Center, one of my supporting churches in Petaluma. We’re headed up tomorrow to sightsee and spend some quality time before she flies out on Tuesday.
Though my mom is a very welcome visitor, my downstairs neighbors and co-missionaries at Stanford, Glen & Paula Davis, have been having some unwelcome visitations lately, in the form of rodents. We got to talking about them last night at a dinner I hosted for our senior class Bible study. One of our students was inspired by their plight and decided to cheer them up. I leave you with the creations he brought to the picnic today:

Hey Lindsey,
Those are the cutest little mice I have ever seen. Did you get to eat one? They look good.

I was so excited to finally find your blog and then to see your mom on there that was just a terrific sight.
