The twins and I took an exploratory trip to Messiah College yesterday. What a place! A beautiful campus on rolling green hills in Pennsylvania just 10 minutes from its capitol city. They have wonderful filled art studios for every imaginable medium. Rooms dedicated to musicians to play their hearts desire on pianos. Theaters that show recent movies to the students for just a buck. There are cinema rooms for film students and cafes for hanging out. There are auditoriums for speakers and shows and a gorgeous indoor swimming pool in a wonderful sports center. There is even a small museum in the science hall that hosts an elephant skeleton, a stuffed crocodile and kodiak bear among other specimens.
What a privilege for those accepted to attend. I wonder if they all realize it? The library took my breath away, literally! You can stand behind a glass wall on a balcony and look down over it. It was enough to cause a bibliophile to swoon.
All that and we were there in just over 3 hours from our front door to theirs. I made the round trip with just over a half tank of gas. Now that is worth considering in the big search for a school.
The Lord is great and worthy of our praise; no one can understand how great He is. Psalm 145:3

About Me
- kibbe
- I'm a 46 year old mother who homeschools one, watches another homeschool herself and sends a third off to the dear little school on the other side of town. I'm a mom trying to come to terms that two of my offspring will be leaving this home and heading out sooner than I can grasp in my heart. I'm a mom who is trying to transition to that fact by slowly letting out the apron strings that bind them to me.

And lots of people we know have gone there; something else good to consider! Life is really moving on, isn't it? Exciting but scary
The daughter of a Hungarian doctor friends of ours may also go to Messiah this fall... she's a bit concerned about the DISTANCE from home!
Ukrainiac, that makes me laugh cause annie really wants to go to Covenant and I'm really worried about the distance. It is SO far away! But not compared to Hungary...
Emma is strongly for Messiah.
Yes Sue, it is exciting but bittersweet that they would be leaving. Although I haven't a clue where the money would be coming from!
