"We don't know what we've got til it's gone"

This semester has completely gone away. As I read that the last post I made was in September it seems like yesterday I was just starting my last Fall semester here at Harding. I guess life will never slow down when there is a bundle of information to learn, friends to hang out with for the last time, new people to meet, papers to write, kids to feed, etc. Life will continue to add more to the agenda, and the best part is we will continue to keep on trying to finish everything on our plate and not even know what we had in front of us.
