Oui, Phillipe, the monitors for Big Brother can be installed right there...

So I get my annual .pdf from my friends in France, to which I always look forward. (You gotta have friends in France if you like travelling to Provence, Normandy, etc., right? Plus they have an adorable 5 year old, and keep me up-to-date on the European evangelical Christian crowd. Yes, there really is an evangelical Christian crowd in Europe).

Anyway my friends are excited about a number of things. For one thing, they are expecting their second child. For another thing, their Vineyard church plant is blooming wonderfully. Their daughter has started school, and her mom has a job teaching the French kindergartners simple English: colors, numbers, etc. This is exciting not only for the teaching opportunity it affords, apparently, but because unless they are employed as school workers, French parents........


(wait for it)




..........aren't allowed in French schools during school hours.

Nice touch, Kelly, on the post, hope to keep the news coming your way for years to come about what exciting things are happening in a country in search of renewed meaning.

Et je láprecie'! But why is it in search of renewed meaning? 1) What is wrong with either the traditional meaning of France or the post-Revolutionary meaning of France? 2) what is it that sparked the search for renewal?
