Banana Pudding Party Two!

We were meeting today, and meeting online too.  But only those meeting physically at KidPak were the beneficiaries of Mommy's now famous Banana Pudding.  It's capitalized, because it's that important.  That entire banana pudding was gone very quickly, and it was super delicious. 

Of course, we were meeting today because we're planning out not only this Sunday's service activities at Free Chapel, but also the future of the KidPak ministries as we begin to open up once more.  With multiple campuses, and one new one even, there was much to discuss.  We had the Zoom feature open, and there was much to talk about.

Madison was doing well today - she got a 100 on her ELA test, and has done well with some grades for Spanish and Georgia studies as well.  She's enjoying her classes, some more than others of course.  But in all cases, she's doing well, and she's liking school, and that's great to see.

We watched a few more episodes of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" this evening, but somewhere along the line, we heard something stunning from the Marvel world.

 

Today we lost an actor, and admittedly we haven't watched all of his performances, but we've seen four of them.  Chadwick Boseman was born in South Carolina forty three years ago, and for the last four years he's been battling the same exact thing that Mommy struggled with:  colon cancer.  The end result for Mr. Boseman was a sad one for the world, and of course for the superhero community.  He played the character "Black Panther," appearing in four different Marvel movies.  His performance was inspiring, and so heroic for so many.  But his private battle, we learned, was even more so.  Again, Mommy had stage three colon cancer as well, and there was risk of it moving to stage four for her, and I remember those x-rays and worries about it moving to her liver and beyond.  It took a while to catch this, and many misdiagnoses.  I'm not sure if they missed it early on with Mr. Boseman or not, and given that he would be only 39 years old, it's probably easier to misdiagnose.  It's a hideous thing, because of all the cancers, it can lurk and grow and fester inside for so long before it makes its presence known, and by then, it's so late in the game.  We wish his family peace during this time, and offer our prayers, but as a part of the Marvel family, we too are feeling a bit of that sadness.

Wakanda forever.
