old friends

i'm so grateful for mission's conference week at our church and the people it brings to town. i'm so thankful for the dear friends we share memories with who heed God's call to new cities and countries to love people in Jesus' name. i'm also grateful to the local ones who spur us on to "love and good deeds."

I'm so thankful for these dear ones and the many others serving and dying around the world who remind us not to be lulled into complacency by the relatively comfortable life we lead here in middle class america. it was so good to hug old friends, to see our children run and play together, and to catch up!



when we met there were only 3 of these

pregnant with ellie, sam, and graham
