He is risen!
He is risen indeed!

Later today we take off for the Middle East. We are excited, of course, but also a little sad to see our boys head out with Grandma and Grandpa. Please continue to pray for us. We have faith that this will be an amazing experience, but there are several things that aren't going to be easy about it, and there are alot of administrative things that need to come together along the way. The verse after the two that I quoted a couple posts ago goes like this: "Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years years." In a way, we pray that same thing for us over the next three weeks--that all the little (and not-so-little) things that can distract from what God is teaching us are minimized or nullified even to a miraculous extent. Thank you for praying for us.
