We had a great day yesterday. It was sunny with a cool breeze, blue sky and warm in the sun. We spent the afternoon visiting with neighbors across the street from Karen's old house. They knew me as "Ohio Man" during Karen's and my dating days. We had a fun time together, learned they'd been praying for us as a family as part of AWANA, and talked about how God was working in each of our lives. Randy & Lori, thanks for pursuing so hard after the Lord and making us feel so welcome.
We spent the evening catching up with a previous pastor of ours and his wife. We talked gardens, trains, ministry, theology, had grilled steak for dinner and then had the privilege of choosing from five different half-gallons of Turkey Hill ice cream. Dessert turned into an ice cream smorgasbord. It'd been at least three years since we'd seen Steve and Donna and it was a sweet time of fellowship. We even talked a little about how God is working at MMS!
We said our goodbyes and expressed our thanks to Jake & Ruth-Ann this morning, our hosts of the last six days. What a blessing they've been and continue to be in our lives. Special thanks to Maverick, their happy dog who loved to open our bedroom door and jump in bed with us. He added a wonderful new dynamic to the household.
Right now we're at the church enjoying the wireless connection before heading out for lunch with special friends/family/supporters all wrapped up in one. It'll be neat to spend time with Cameron (5) and Joelle (3), to whom we're very much Uncle Keith & Aunt Karen in the extended way that we adopt others into our lives.
Rain showers today. But what a day in Jesus!
