Dear Friends in Christ -
Ed and I are so grateful to all of you for giving us time away this past weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The responsibilities of the work we do (and love!) and the responsibilities of having kids make it hard to find time to get away. But it's essential for the well-being of our marriage and our souls! We played and prayed and rested and renewed. My soul breathed a huge sigh - and then started receiving fresh strength for the next leg of the journey.
We are especially grateful to the friends who loaned us their home on Nantucket - and to my parents, who lovingly "sat on" our kids - and to Dave Nash for dropping everything on Sunday afternoon to fix the phones in our house so that we could talk to our kids (little Ben had shut them off on accident!!). I also have to say how thankful I am for Deacon Dee's presence and work; with her leading worship here, I could completely relax and know that things would great here at St. Paul's.
It was good to be away, but it's good to be home, too. Now, it's onward and upward!
With appreciation and affection,
Janet+
