T minus one day

Tom is likely doing the same thing I am, trying to get that last minute packing done and then attempt to get a good nights rest. As a family we have spent the last couple of days just getting things done, and trying to have some time together. We were able to go for a bike ride this afternoon, which was good. An adventure on the new trails near our house. But we have also had to get a new camera, fill the cars with, gas, have a meeting with our friends Phil and Dawn about some matters at church, mow the lawn, fill up the water softener with salt, helping Amy with a project she has been trying to get done on a chair, make dinner, confirm my plane itinerary, and take the dog out....life doesn't stop.

On top of all, we have felt lead by the Spirit to offer a place to stay for one of my track girls. Her brother is in jail in Kansas, and her mother feels she should go to be near him. He is facing the death penalty. We want to help her have a stable place to grow, and the environment back in Kansas would not be good for her. Anyway, by faith, we have offered, please pray for this opportunity to change one life. We know it is the right thing to do. She is very dear to our heart.

Off to Russia tomorrow. Dobre noche'
