  • It’s the first full week of June 2025. College It’s the first full week of June 2025. 

College graduations have passed. High school ones are coming up. School is ending and summer begins. Day trips are fun as are week-long vacations. Many are doing house maintenance, searching for jobs, and caring for others. Me? I’m preparing for the first “Arise, Shine” Conference.

He made me smile.
