Old students from HDU are texting saying they are moving ot my campus for school and want to meet up. There's meetings to schedule. Books to buy. Chin.ese to learn. Emails to respond to. Clothes to hand wash. Errands to run. Papers to turn in. A bike chain to replace. Pounds to lose. Orphans to feed.

And thankfulness to be harbored.
