Surviving the Infamous Smiting




Most of you have heard the story of Justin being smited at Wesley the other week by a mentally unstable but very religious man. We all joked about "The Smite" but the next day Justin broke his thumb while playing basketball and Camdyn got a pretty nasty abrasion on her face from falling off the swings. The following day, Camdyn and Justin simultaneously became ill and were very sick all last week. We eventually diagnosed them both with pneumonia and both are finally better thanks to some antibiotics. Last Saturday, in the midst of the smiting, we woke up to this yard sign thanks to some mysterious Wesley students. The irony of that morning was that while Justin and Camdyn were home with high fevers, I had to round in the hospital and we woke up to no power at our house!!
One thing I have learned this week is that some things, like smiting, should never be joked about. Now, here we are through the dark nights of our souls a little stronger, a little wiser, and Justin is twenty five pounds lighter.
