Yesterday I lunched with a cloistered nun--probably a one-time experience for me. Rosann, the nun's mother, is my friend and has ovarian cancer. She's enduring her second round of chemotherapy. She's fervently prayed for a miracle, and the miracle arrived in the form of her daughter Ann, the nun. I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of the Catholic church, but learned that once a cloistered nun takes her vows, her life belongs to the church and most contact with her family ceases. Ann received special permission from the prioress to fly cross country to have a 6-day visit with her mom. Rosann invited many of her friends to her home yesterday to meet and eat with her daughter. I am very happy that Rosann and Ann could have this reunion, but sad that Ann can't give her mom the ongoing support and contact she needs.
Mark enjoys playing Roblox, an online game. The other night as he played, two of his teammates were warring against each other. One teammate complained to the other, "Why are you killing me; I'm on your team?" Mark, the observer, typed, "Come what may and love it."
On our way to school this morning, we passed a church marquis that contained this question: "What would Jesus tweet?" Mark replied, "Come what may and love it."

Very wise! I want to know what his response is when you have an opportunity to remind him of his wisdom.
Interesting experience with the nun! Does Mark say the same thing about homework?
