The Gathering

What an enjoyable time worshiping the Creator of all with many nations.
Alaska is a unique place.
Playing the unity drum this weekend was so awesome.
The paint just flew off the drum and there was a lot of dancing with joy!

Prayers of friends

changes coming in on the wind.
frost on the plants last week, rain pounding yesterday,
sunshine smiling today.

There is so much to talk about and so many good memories to consider.
We can feel the prayers of friends as we walk this road.

Joseph is building a deck and Christy is learning to knit.
We put our hands to what is here before us, by grace.

Lovely day in a Lovely place,

Alaska Welcomes Weary Travelers

So, here we are.
a dream lived that we will continue to live as we arrive on the shores of Alaska's island, Revilla.
Where the sky is white and the winds are wild, we sigh and try to kick up our feet.

Clothes in a dresser again.
A car to drive around, small treasures to be found that one can forget as the world whirls by.
Fresh fish in our belly.
Hot fires to gather around with the people we love.
Many notes to open our ears and listen to.

Our tale is of the true beauty and goodness of Christ the Messiah.
Finding our footing and friends and having our faith stirred yet more.
Here we are, still held in His sure embrace.

All glory to the King of Love,
Joseph and Christy
