She got it!
Deanne got her master’s degree, and this chapter is officially finished.
Now a new adventure begins! We don’t know what the next part looks like yet, but it is full of hope. I’m excited to see where God will lead next…

| Deanne’s Hooding Ceremony |
Here where I work, I’ve seen the George Fox University Commencement programs come through (the pre-press, press, and bindery) twice every year since I started in 1995. It’s always exciting to see who I may know that has “made it”.
Here comes one today that has my Deanne’s name in the “Masters Degree” section!
whew.
It’s really going to happen! She did it!!!
(No, the printed ones won’t have these extra notations!)
Great job, dear. I am bursting with pride. Over 5 years from when you made the decision, your goal has been reached!
You did it!
My sons Aaron and Austin, and my niece’s daughter Hannah, were in the cast of an awesome performance of Richard III at Newberg High School last night.
Wow. It was an intense, well-acted, and long (2.5 hours?) production. I was
- Disgusted (at the evil)
- Amazed (at the talent and hard work of the actors)
- And proud (of my 3—and their friends)
Somebody posted this video clip on YouTube…
Notice this part especially, where the Aaron (left), Austin (center) and Hannah (right) prepare to battle Richard and his forces… How cool is that?!
If you’d like to see it, it plays April 18 & 19, and 24, 25 & 26, at 7:30pm.
Microsoft has a very cool site called Live Maps. You can look at your property or other sites from 4 different satellite angles! Google Earth is very nice, but with this you can view from 4 different angles—not just straight down.
Tip: Type in your city, in the upper right search window, or just zoom way in. Click “Bird’s Eye”, then rotate (Oooo!)
Here for your enjoyment, is Newberg Friends Church, and Friends Center (from the east):

A few days ago I received a letter from Verizon, our internet service provider…
Thank you, Mr. Comfort, for being such a good customer. Effective next month we are raising your monthly DSL rate. It will be 47% higher than it is now. We really appreciate your business!”
Right after I read that letter (a few minutes), I got a phone call…from Verizon!
Hello, Mr. Comfort. Did you know that Verizon Fios is available in your area, and it is way better blah blah blah five times faster blah blah…”
I’m not interested. Thanks.
May I ask why, Mr. Comfort, when Fios is blah blah way better blah blah…?”
Yes. It costs more than I am paying now.
But, did you know that Fios uses less electricity than DSL? blah blah blah save the planet blah blah…”
I don’t care.
[Actually I do care about the earth, but I just wanted to get off the phone! I react negatively to people or companies using environmental guilt as a marketing tool to sell things, especially when it is such a HUGE stretch as this! Now I wish I would have quizzed him a bit more on his claim...]
Well, Mr. Comfort, if you change your mind, you can (speed reading, he rattled off an unintelligible 800 number and web address)…”
OK! [click.]
Now I know why they’re raising their rate for the cheap DSL plan. They’re having trouble stealing customers from themselves.
