I’ve gone too long between posts (something that will no doubt occur time and time again – you’ve been warned) but the reason is that I have been stuck in an ongoing conflict with the local school system over my son’s education. Many of you know that my son, Jacob, is autistic. This year, Jacob has been in a separate setting classroom for students with autism and it has been a tremendous blessing. He has made remarkable growth both academically and socially during this time and he seems to enjoy school more and more. His teacher is also the parent of a special-needs child and so that gives Jeana and me an extra level of comfort as she helps Jacob along.

We don’t use the word “redeem” much anymore in today’s society. Maybe you’ve heard it in terms of redeeming coupons or redeeming a winning raffle ticket – giving something to receive something good back in return. The dictionary gives us a better idea of what the word means when it defines it as “to buy back” (such as after a tax sale or mortgage foreclosure) or “to recover by payment or other satisfaction” (such as redeeming a pawned watch.)
