good to be home

the best part of vacation? realizing how much you appreciate home. we love being closer to family, our dear friends, our special church and in our house that we have worked so hard on and created so many memories in. the ocean is a close 2nd, though.

"We reclaim the church as a blessing machine not only because that is what Jesus intended from the beginning but also because serving people is the only way their perceptions of church are ever going to change. This is why it is so toxic for the gospel when Christians picket and boycott and complain about how bad the world is... Why blame the dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn't as bright as it could be."
