We have only one Sunday left at Villa Heights Christian Church. We are realizing that many of the direct contacts we have with people here now may well be the last we share this side of Heaven. We are also realizing that over the past 11 years here we have formed many deep and lasting friendships. That's the way it should be. The connections we make because we serve the Lord together are some of the greatest and strongest of all. I am reminded of my dad, who loved going to the North American Christian Convention just to stand around and see people he knew after years in the ministry. As difficult as it is to realize we'll be putting 600 miles between ourselves and many people who are dear to us, we also realize that we have many new friends to make now in Rockford, IL. We also realize that no relationship in the Family of God is only as long as this life. These connections are just the start of forever together. As we arrive at Rockford, Lord willing, on the 20th, we already anticipate some deliberate work to get to know and be known by the Church family there.
Thank you for your prayers and your contacts. Knowing that we're "moving to something good' is not only a great help to us, but a fact we're glad to share with our friends in Joplin who are also looking out for us. Just for the fun of it, I'm including another photo. The wedding provided a great opportunity for photos that we rarely manage, including this one of my 5 older siblings and my mom. I'll let you sort through who got the good looks and all that.
