when it all comes together


We had a fantabulous weekend at a spiritual retreat with some of the college students from Cornerstone in La Crosse. We had the privelage of working with "Jenn from La Crosse" again - (not to reveal her super hero identity but Jenn was once known as "cape-woman"). On Sunday the whole gang attended and served at a "launch service" in Verona, Wisconsin. All weekend we worshiped God: we talked, laughed, ate, prayed, learned, played and served together. Much thanks to Diane for the hospitality- not just in opening her home to us but for really joining in.

It was great to get to serve at a new church plant with a group that is now part of the church planted in La Crosse 9 years ago.

Cool stuff. Nothing compares to the Kingdom of God.

Keep praying for us as we seek to meet new friends and as we seek out those who may become part of this new work in Madison.

I've always thought you looked like a "Tom" whatever that means. It is hard to add the "ooooooo" at the end of Tom, though, like we do with Genooooooooo! We miss you guys. It is great to read about what is going on. We are still recovering from Haiti but would love to tell you all about it soon! Madison is a short drive from Dubuque!

Hey, what does it take to become a super-woman-hero-peep in Juli's book? Is it just a cape? I can fashion one of those out of my beach towel. Can I qualify? Can I? Huh? Can I?
