Busy Getting Ready

We are busy getting ready for the trip.  Melody is grateful for the many kind notes she has received.  Leaving our girls behind is tough.  We are a close family and enjoy being with one another.  We believe it is the best thing to do, but that doesn't make it easy.  I've instituted the "away plan" for things at church, with the exception of preaching on Sunday.  We are very grateful for our congregation, elders and staff.
