Sitting in Awe

With the second week of school coming to a close, I know it's time to finally accept the end of summer and look to the programming of the fall semester. But, even though I am able to stay where I am and be present for all that is coming, I think reflection is still important. In the past, I would have packed up my car and had quite a long drive down I-35.
