June, July

Wow how time flies. Since I last posted, so much has transpired. Our son got married! Yeah! and then they moved away...not yeah :( But very excited about their new life and opportunities.

We just got back from a visit with our Arizona friends! Great memories! Sitting on the deck as lightning dances all around as Carole reads from Isaiah 40! Rainbows in the sky!
Good food! Chef Michael wowed us with his good cooking...
Laughter and talking!! Walks, golf and of course more eating...and who can forget watching 'You think you can dance'!

Friendship is an amazing gift from God. As Pastor spoke this morning about not forsaking gathering together, I reflected on our time with Mike and Carole. We have gathered together through the years, and at each stage of our life, because we have known each other before we had children, our gathering together always comes back to our God. We laugh and talk and play games, but we do 'spur one another unto love and good deeds.' And I come away from our times refreshed and renewed to keep on keeping on. I would pray each of you has at least one friend, a soul mate, a bosom friend, to spur you on, to challenge you to press toward the goal, to win the prize for which God has called us.
