About That Revolving Door..

OK, Natasha came late Thursday. She and I dashed to the market for a few dinner items and I got a nice one-on-one visit with her , catching up on the end of school, and looking forward to her LST (Let's Start Talking) experience in Germany. That trip begins this week. Have a good time, Tasha, and May God use you fully in sharing scripture with someone over there. Come on back when you get home, for we are eager to hear about your experiences, impressions, and successes.

Jim came a day early, also on Thursday, and he and I have been a-goin' since. Jim is a great buddy since he and his family lived with us for a time (and in Vancouver for some months afterward) during Carol's cancer treatments. We have had many adventures together, including a rocket ride to Florida in his big truck and trailer, virtually non-stop round trip, to pick up some of Carol's inherited items. He is Super Ranger of a Forestry District southeast of Anchorage, and he often stops in on his trips south for various job related reasons. Good times!

I'm going to replace our front door with a revolving model, as folk seem to continue coming one one anothers heels, and sometimes at the same time.

I love my extended family, especially ones like Natasha and Jim whom we have taken to our hearts. They are two of many who enrich our lives. (One problem: we seem to eat too much and too well when "family" like this is in the building. We need to adopt some dieters.) Maybe Mike will stop by this week on his way north.

Thank you Lord for a host of friends who are Your children first. We do enjoy loving on them and being loved by them.
