Laura, our daughter, turns 29 today (I had to ask Kris how old Laura was \u2014 but that\u2019s another story). She was our first child. I was in seminary (taking Murray Harris\u2019 Advanced Exegesis class and writing a midterm that day) at the time, and we lived up near Waukegan, and the oddity is that she was born in Libertyville, and we now live there. She\u2019s a first grade teacher now, which is entirely natural \u201con account of the fact that\u201d she\u2019s been teaching a class since she was five years old: whenever she came home from classes as a little girl, she went to her room and re-taught everything she learned that day. I\u2019m not biased, that\u2019s for sure, but she\u2019s got to be the best teacher in Illinois. She and Mark fly today to Paris for Spring Break. She should get along fine, as she took French in high school. One bit of advice Laura and Mark: plan on dinners being slow.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
