Entering Rest

This is been surprisingly tiring year for us, as it has been for many others. Our lives are filled with many needs from family, friends, and fellow workers around the world.  So, we are preparing to take a week of vacation next week… but we just learned Renée has been summoned for jury duty for Monday.  Please pray with us: Gentle Father, please dismiss Renée from jury duty this time and lead David and Renée into a restful and refreshing week away. (Hebrew 3-4)

P.S. This has been a significant week of God closing and opening significant doors for our Encountering Jesus Together project.  Some days I’ve felt like I’m on an intense spiritual thrill ride.  The cumulative effect is a strong sense that God is leading us and others forward together in harmony.  Some friends like you wrote back after my last memo saying “you lost me” with some of the terms that I used.  So, here is a glossary!
