Saying goodbye to friends...

We have said goodbye to two of our good friends recently, namely the Caricos and the Ortlunds. It has been a sad two days saying goodbye to these dear friends. Both of these families are going to be used mightily by the Lord through the gifts that He has given them. What an amazing testimony to how God works in people's life in different ways to minister, guide, and shepherd His people. Beth and I are truly grateful to have been a part of their lives while here at Seminary.

As well, this past weekend, we had some dear visitors from Virginia, namely the Davis family. We had a blast while they were here, even as we battled through pain and anxiety. What a blessing and encouragement for us to visit with them and be blessed by the energy and presence of our friends and their children: Asher, Micah, and Audrey. I got to go to the zoo with the boys and their father on Saturday. What a treat! I think they ought to make a coffeehouse environment in part of the zoo, surround it with plexiglass or some barrier, put internet access in there. What a place to study! This was truly a sweet time to be refreshed by good 'ole friends!
