When Plans Change
Dear Friends, I have been anxious to write to you for a long time now. Much has changed since the last time I wrote, and I pray that you and your families are healthy and proceeding safely and wisely. It is no secret that much of the world is in chaos right now. Growing up, I never imagined that border closings in far off places would have an impact on those in my community. If it were helpful, I could write page after page about the way everything changes. Our best decision made today could easily look like the wrong decision tomorrow. But we can only do the best we can with what we have. As I sit here writing to you, a few steps away, a group of teachers is busily working to adjust their curriculum to an online learning format. As of Wednesday, all classes at Black Forest Academy will be online, and many of our boarding students will have returned home to their families across the world. So dear friends, as you seek to make decisions that are best for your families and communities
