This blog seems to be a pill for posting to. So, if any of you computer savvy people want to post and then post directions on how you did it, please do. If not, follow along and stay tuned. Thank you to all those who have made special calls or visits to wish us well. We leave with the continued faith that we are led forward and not settling for complacency.

We will be leaving tomorrow in the mid-morning for Chicago. Our flight flies out at 1545. I think we all have our bags packed with some very special things we hold close.

One of my friends(Kimmer) sent me this wonderful message tonight from the Good Friday services that her husband, Charlie, preached to his Good Friday congregation. I hope you find it as meaningful as I do.

In that day you will say: I will praise you O Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afrThe LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." 3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done and proclaim that his name is exalted. 5 Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. 6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you." Isaiah 12 1-6
