struggles and triumphs in reading

Tonight at the dinner table (just Dad and the girls) we listened to a record that had Mom's high school choir from LMH. They sang a song called Hospodi Pomilul (Russian?). You should have heard Mom and Joy trying to pronounce that!

While on the topic of pronunciation, reading and such, our conversation drifted to how far Vinson has come with his learning disability (dyslexia) since elementary school. Nobody would really even know he had/has it; he is quite the reader today. My mom and Vinson both went through so much for so many years of his schooling, and it's amazing to see how far God has taken him. Mom commented on how she never would have believed that he would be in college and awarded with a spot in The International Economics Honor Society (Omicron Delta Epsilon). I seriously had forgotten about those home school days of prolonged excruciating labor that Vinson and Mom would go through, and it was so cool how she brought it up. It really does show God's powerful grace.

Congratulations to you Vinson!

Yeah tears come to my eyes as I read your post, remembering many a tear shed on Vinson's reading. Now He reads more books than anyone in our family (Well, Margaret might have him beat) He at least reads the most challenging material like right now i see he is almost half way through John Owen's Overcoming Sin & Temptation. Great job Vinson. Love ya, Mom
