Soaking in time with family and friends

As strange as it is to be away from Northern Ireland, it has been lovely to spend time with friends in Montana and see family. It's great to catch up with people and we have been encouraged to connect again with our brothers and sisters here.

Funny enough we are in Montana at the same time as Christy's Dad (we all planned to arrive the same day without knowing it!) So it's been good - we all (with Collette) did worship together at Headwaters last Sunday - it was like a Ketchikan reunion.

In mid-October we will be going to Washington and then heading back to Alaska for a couple months.

We were reading this morning in the book "The Wind from the Stars" and love this excerpt:

"He had ever one anchor of the soul, and he found that it held - the faith of Jesus (I say the faith of Jesus, not his own faith in Jesus), the truth of Jesus, the life of Jesus. However his intellect might be tossed on the waves of speculation and criticism, he found that the word the Lord has spoken remained; for in doing righteously, in loving mercy, in walking humbly, the conviction increased that Jesus knew the very secret of human life.

-Robert Falconer
