My best friend

Chad was asked to do the invocation for The Farmers, Ranchers, and Merchants Annual Commerce dinner here in Red Cloud. So we went out for a night on the town! O.K.- well - we ate supper with the farmers, ranchers and merchants of the area. For real, this is what rural Nebraska does and until you leave and come back, I don't think that you really realize that not everyone gets invited to eat with many farmers, ranchers, and merchants. It was so neat to see that almost every table had a warm and friendly face, our church family! I seriously ask myself (sometimes in frustration, mostly in happiness and awe) "Is this our life?" Why yes it is. And the memories of last year, the interviews, the waiting, the dreaming and anticipating of where the Lord would place us after the seminary...it's all just a memory now. We're right where the Lord had planned all along. If someone would have told us ten years ago that we'd be living in south central Nebraska, serving two churches, with six children, still serving in the Air Force, we would have never believed them. But that's the way our Lord works. He's got the plan and He's the one navigating, we're along for the ride, if we'll let Him. So here's a picture of that night and I added several posts today...just because.
