Don’t go away…

I promise I’m here. I really am. I’ve just been consumed (in a good way) with other things lately. Our dear friends are in the process of adopting a little girl from Ethiopia and friends and family got together to host a surprise benefit auction to help raise funds. It was an amazing experience and God provided for everything at every twist and turn along the way. In the end, we raised just about exactly what they needed to pay for the rest of the process – including travel expenses for when they go get their little angel. For more on that, you can hop on over to http://5byfaith.blogspot.com. And if you’d still like to donate to them, you can go to http://bringlucyhome.blogspot.com. If you scroll down there is a widget on the right side called “Chip In”. You can donate there. All donations that go above and beyond their adoption expenses will be given to Ethiopian relief agencies.
So, I am back. I’ve just been resting and enjoying doing nothing but play with my kids in the sun. My mind and my heart are churning to continue the exploration into missional living, though. So there should be more on that soon.
