I went to church this morning for the first time in a while, and was happy to discover that it was a children's service where they tried to incorporate the children in everything: giving communion, a pretend baptism, singing, and reading. It was great! The highlight was definitely when the little Sunday School kids sang a song. And when I say sang a song, I mean they were backups for the rain stick. Yes. The rainstick. Not exactly sure what it had to do with the song they were singing it, but the boy who was "playing" the rainstick was flipping that thing so quickly and loudly you would have thought that spring had suddenly come to Tromsø and it was actually raining out. Fun stuff. I also met a professor of religion after the service who was very interesting to talk to. A fun beginning to a Sunday.
Guds fred.

Thank you, come again.
On this your birthday eve I am picturing this little blonde Norwegian lad tossing and turning his rain stick to the beat of the music! Guess who that reminds me of? YOU! Your musical roots were nurtured not only at home but in church as well. I'm happy you experienced a great worship this Sunday morning in Tromsø.
We wish you a wonderful 24th birthday in Norway! Remember your theme song from your birth is from the great movie "Chariots of Fire." Perhaps that is where your thirst for living abroad was born! It is the story of 2 British track athletes, one a determined Jew, and the other a devout Christian who compete in the 1924 Summer Olympics. Dad and I enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner and that movie before you were born on Saturday, March 20, 1982 during March Madness. Pasta, running, travel and religion. . . all important aspects of your life since the day you were born! Hmmm. . . now what should we say about basketball??
Keep smiling!
Love, Mom
During the sermon Jack worked on his sweet 16 bracket...GO DUKE!
Do you think Duke is going to the championship?? I do!!
Have a Happy Birthday!
