Probably noted - We've been off-line" for a while. We've been in the states since mid - May visiting family and friends. While here we've had the opportunity to attend the weddings of the two young flower girls in our wedding, 24 years ago. Our niece, Grey, was married May 20th on Bald Head Island and Erin, a family friend on June 19th, in Princeton, New Jersey. In between these two events we've been able to connect with family and friends in many different states. At times it's felt a bit like a traveling bus tour, with stops in different places every 3-4 days, but we've had great times and most importantly have been able to catch up with our own children. It seems we're all going in different directions, but it's been good to meet up in some of our favorite spots.

Marin Headlands at Sunset - missing Meagan
People ask how the past year in Uganda has been. Are we going back? What have been our greatest challenges? Our biggest blessings? All good questions, but the answers are not so "straight forward". Uganda and America are just different worlds in every aspect - it's difficult to connect the two. We don't have answers to all the questions we've been asked these past weeks, but we do know that Christ's love is constant and that serving those we find right around us, no matter where we are, is what we are commanded to do. Even when we don't have the answers, we can rest and know that God has given each one of us unique gifts and we are called to "love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our minds and love our neighbor as ourselves".
