She's baaaa..aack...

Jill is home! She returned yesterday from a five day trip to Denver and Taos, NM. She flew to Denver on Thursday, and she and Tara drove to Taos on Friday. They spent a long weekend exploring this art colony/ski resort town. On Monday, they drove back to Denver, and Jill flew home this morning. It is so good to have her back.

On the way home from the airport, we made a trip to the church to pick up a file on a new couple, whom we are going to meet this evening for marital encouragement. Now, when I say, "On our way home," you must understand that the airport is 10 miles north of our home and the church is 15 miles southwest of us. So the round trip was about 40 miles! Still, we needed to pick up the folder, and it gave us a chance to reconnect. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant for lunch. It was a fine time.

Today, we will resume our routine of walking at the mall, and we will spend time in prayer before meeting with our couple. There have also been some big changes at our church. We learned yesterday that our senior pastor is stepping down after 31 years. He will be pursuing other ministry opportunities, including training other pastors. We will miss him terribly. I guess the only real constant in life is change.
