a little rest & relaxation

















The boys, Wes and I have enjoyed our three week long break from school.  We loved staying up late, sleeping in late, snuggling way past breakfast and just plain ole doing nothing!  We praise God for the rest that He brings to our soul.  A good holiday is an extra day spent resting in His love.  It feels so good to crawl up into God's easy chair and just talk about life.  Why do we so quickly and easily forget that He sits waiting for us to rest in Him and relax with Him?  As the winter days bring hours of pondering, dreaming and hoping... May we all find ourselves drifting into the wonderland of His love -- being drawn to the warmth and care that only He can bring to weary seasons.

Chester goes global!


Bucuresti -- watch out!  Chester has gone global.  Chester has been around since 1987 or so, but this is his first time to travel around the globe.  He is so excited to be in a beautiful European country.  Chester can not wait to visit the Romanian countryside and frolic in the beautiful sunflower fields.  Chester will enjoy his assignment of learning to speak the Romanian language.  Bucurestians  will surely want to try their skill and challenge Chester to the Rubik's cube.  Stay tuned for more of Chester's adventure in Romania in the near future...
