Sometimes it takes several small and big steps to move ahead, knowing we will be led to the right path, if we have faith and courage. It is not always easy to think that way. But if one looks back into life's experi- ences, we know that things turn out fine because of our leap of faith and grace giv- en to us both from Above and around us. On the last instruction from the father "Now feed them," my reac- tion is something like this— now you have the light, go and proceed to do what has to be done. I think this sto- ry of the father and the son leaves a great impression for many. • • • I have been reading a book given by a dear friend titled "No greater Love" about Saint Mother Teresa- authored by Thomas Moore. I am impressed by so ma- ny thoughts this saint had shared. Let me quote one: "Listen in silence, because if your heart is full of other things, you cannot hear the voice of God. For in silence, the heart of God speaks." Given the tsunami of social media and news media that drown us, it is good to re- member this advise. Have a blessed week. Continued from page 4 HOLY Continued from page 4 CHOICE Continued from page 5 JEEP You can imagine what a positive effect this would have on retention rates. Plus, it would offer some peace of mind to our hard- working military personnel, who already have enough on their minds with all of the moving around they have to do. Rep. Jim Banks, Indiana Republican, recently intro- duced a bill that would ex- tend school choice to their children. Under his Edu- cation Savings Accounts for Military Families Act of 2018, military families wouldn't have to settle for the nearest public school — they could choose the one that's the right fit for their children. The proposal would pro- vide education savings ac- counts to eligible children from military families de- rived from the funds that would have been sent to a public school on the child's behalf through the feder- al Impact Aid program, en- abling families to instead di- rect those dollars to options that work for them. That can mean private school tuition, online learning, special ed- ucation services and thera- pies, private tutoring, and a host of other education- related products, providers and services. Similar legislation has been introduced by Sen. Ben Sasse, Nebraska Repub- lican, and Sen. Tim Scott, South Carolina Republican. It's looking more and more like this is an idea whose time has come. "The men and women who serve our country in uniform make sacrifices daily," Mr. Banks recent- ly wrote in The Wall Street Journal, "but the education of their children should not be one of them." He's right. Let's give them the choice they want — and deserve. Ed Feulner is founder of The Heritage Foundation. him, No worries, son. I'm happy to sleep in bed with you. I would say, Just for tonight. But I wouldn't mean it. In preparation for the new arrival, I decorated my son's room so the Jeep bed would feel at home. Stars were placed on the ceiling. Dead batteries in the moon night- light were replaced. A tent was set up in the corner of the room. The room took the shape of the great outdoors as I waited patiently for my son to outgrow his crib. And then it happened. My son climbed out of his crib for the first time. That very thing that had terri- fied me for so long — the broken bones, the concus- sions! — was now greeted with unadulterated glee. He climbed out! The crib is no longer safe! Hurray! We can transition him to a big-boy bed! A big-boy Jeep bed! His first night, the bed- time routine went exactly how I had envisioned over the past year. My son and I snuggled under the covers as I read him bedtime sto- ries by the light of the Jeep bed's headlights. The star stickers shone above us. The pitter-patter of rainfall came from the sound machine. When the stories were fin- ished, I said, "You probably want me to sleep here be- cause it's your first night in a new bed, huh." "Nope! " my son an- nounced proudly. "Leave, Mommy. Good night! " But, but, but... Like Katiedid Langrock on Facebook, at http://www. facebook.com/katiedidhu- mor.
