Headed Back to Virginia

We're headed back to Virginia tomorrow, we just can't take it anymore.

KIDDING

We love our new Indy home & church & etc., but we're headed down to Charlottesville, VA for my cousin's wedding. It will be a great family time, and road trips with 2 kids under 2 are always a joy.

Seriously, we are looking forward to it. Once the kids doze off, (yeah right) Jaime and I have great talks as the van rolls down the highway.

Well, I said I would post about the "woman at the well" and Jesus, and their discussion in John 4. Our senior minister is continuing his series and will be teaching from this passage over the next 2 Sundays. It was just such a profound realization to see that Jesus revealed his best and greatest teaching on worship to this woman who he shouldn't have been talking to in the 1st place! (culturally) We don't even know her name! Isn't that so true of what worship should result in...we discover who Jesus is, and we forget about who we are completely. But there again, that's the irony...Jesus told the lady things about herself that even she had tried to forget...so he affirmed her, he didn't crush and treat her like a no-name...

Wow, God is completely awesome and His grace is unbelievable.

How can I keep from singing? (Thank you Chris Tomlin for your update of that song.)

Hope the trip goes well. :) I'm so glad Nelson can't read a map yet, or I'm sure he'd be heading down to Charlottesville this weekend to see his Faith Faith!

We miss you guys so much -- glad to hear that you're getting settled in to your new home!

Hey, Murray.....I wrote a poem about The Woman at the Well. I'll email it to you if you like. Are you stopping by Fairfax on Sunday??? Yes? We miss you!
