Thanks. We're pretty pleased with the way he's turned out. WE can't take all the credit, but we will definitely take a bit of it. :)
 
That's part of the adventure - knowing when to make an intelligent decision to pack it in and try at a later date. I give him huge credit for even wanting to do it.
 
Rae,
i had been thinking of him with all this nasty weather we've been having. (I'm not complaining about the rain I know Florida needs it but the damaging winds and hail are bothersome)
 
Thanks for the update Rae!! It sounds like he made a very wise decision! Kudos to him for even trying!! :) More than I would do!!:)
 
I'm thinking that someone on that bus needs what your son has been equipped to share and I can't wait to hear about how God uses him!

Thanks, all. Even with the shortened trip, he has some interesting stories. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he has an interesting encounter on the bus. Those kinds of things happen to him all the time.
 
and 80 miles is still such an huge accomplishment!

I so couldn't have said it better, Ann!
 
Your son sounds like an amazing young man...but then he clearly has a great mom.:angel:

(I hope you don't mind Rae, but I once described you as our 'Cheffer Mom'. Whenever I'm feeling down about my business...or life in general...I remember to 'pull up my big girl panties' and drive on. )
 
Not sure how I missed this until now; but wow! That is amazing Rae; you have every reason to be very proud:) 80 miles in one day is amazing, & maybe it'll work out next year for the whole trip.
 
He sounds like an amazing person! As a college student, I wish there were more like him. Believing in God is not a very accepted thing at my school...

I don't mind at all. I'm known in the tri-county area as Momma Bates (Shawn's spelling). As a matter of fact, I'm flattered.Let me take a minute to thank everyone again for their kind comments. I'm definitely proud of my baby boy. :)
