Sending Your Child Into a Hurricane

My son (who just completed his freshman year of college) got back last night from a one-month internship with Back2Back Ministries in Monterrey, Mexico. One of the joys of parenthood is watching your kids grow in abilities to do things that you could never do yourself. My son spent the past month serving in several orphanages, and his last two days battling Hurricane Alex to protect the ministry's small campus from flood waters. I, on the other hand, am spending the summer teaching in the paradise of San Diego.
