It has been a busy couple of weeks. But really wonderful ones as well!
First, we went to Michigan to be with my family and see my beautiful sister Yvonne dance and sing in a fabulous production of Brigadoon!
Next, we spent a few days in the city (I always assume everyone knows I'm talking about Chicago...) at The Gospel Coalition. I'm always amazed that being reminded of my helplessness, hopelessness and shame makes my heart rejoice and my spirit glad. This is only because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ - I know that MY REDEEMER LIVES! Glory! Hallelujah! Listening to preaching of Christ in the Old Testament for three days (along with various sub-themes) was amazing and has helped me focus again on the cross. Please take time to listen for yourself to the various fantastic messages. 
Lastly, we saw the providential hand of God so clearly as while we were in the city we got a call about some urgent needs for children who were nearby. We are now being able to share the love of Christ with "J" who will be in our home for 3 weeks. He is a sweetheart and we have enjoyed him already!
