Nearly three weeks now since we landed . . . new doctor, new bank, new driver licenses, new Ohio car plates, new library card, new voter registration . . . and at times it still seems unreal that we are here.
We have visited and worshiped in three different churches, and feel the need for a worship-family-church-home. We have looked at multiple condos, houses, and considered building plans- and don't mean to be finicky, but nothing has fallen into place just yet- we're comfortable ensconced at Stephen and Sharon's beautiful "shire" . . .but God has been so Present in our journey that I am confident He will guide us. Your prayer would be very much appreciated.
In it all I really want to be John 15:8-type-fruitful-- MUCH fruit! Helen and I have more to give! Abraham started out westward when he was 75. He rode around the Fertile Crescent to the Promised Land in a camel caravan. We started west in a Toyota Camry at 77 and 75. Ohio may not be the Holy Land but there are similarities in our journeys. We belong to the very same glorious and blessed God- Father, Son and Holy Spirit- that watched over Abraham's tent wherever he pitched it. He knows exactly where we are right now. And while we are waiting for a house to call our own, we have each other, we are loved by family, we are in God's family-- and we ARE at home!

He makes all things beautiful in His time... the place to live to, the church and everything else will fall in place soon. You will be a blessing to the church and your neighborhood.
