Good to see you up and blogging! :) You did an excellent job, and I am very impressed with your writing skills. How exciting that you are going to Norway! Will you be back in time for WNW? I am leaving for Tennesee very soon, so I'll wave to you as your plane flies over. :) Or, are you intending to drive to Norway? Just kidding. :) Anyway, have a jolly day!

It is interesting to note that the way people express love is often related to the way they like to receive it, but that this can be clouded by their spiritual gift. If someone is spiritually gifted, say, with the gift of generosity or service, they may act out their love toward others using their spiritual gift <i>even if that isn't how they would prefer to receive love</i>. It is all very hard for a parent. We <i>do</i> hope none of our children has 'words of affirmation' as their love language, since they are likely to be pretty love-starved in our household, if they depend on such words.
