Too Fast, Too Full, Too Fun
Thats how I would describe Spring 09…which if I am not careful will quickly be fading into Summer without a word on this site. I thought perhaps it be best if this time I simply update you on the things that are going on in our lives:
January–a great prayer weekend in Toulouse with the SFC gang, followed by a first in a lifetime for me…I flew to be with two friends who live in very different parts of the world. We spent a long weekend together talking, sharing, walking, laughing, and theologizing. It was wonderful.
In February, John and I participated in a Think Tank concerning Youth Ministry in Europe, then left immediately for a series of meetings, one of which involved planning Encounter 2010, a world gathering of students in Budapest coming up in (duh!) 2010! Followed by a quick trip to Finland, where we met again with youth leaders from around Europe. Shortly after that, I left for Berlin, where I am sitting now, waiting for the twins (which you can read about on John and Kristen’s page of this same website. Fortunately, all my work (the thinking, planning, preparing) is packed into my little computer, so I can continue to work away here…and that helps the time pass. Of course I am also cleaning bathrooms and cooking–Kristen can’t hardly reach the corners of the tub around her tummy anymore.
I promise to be a little more thoughtful, and a little less reporting on my calendar next time!
Blessings to all!
