We leave for Miami shortly, spend the night, and then on to Texas. This trip has been too much to process in a few short days. It will take a few months to unpack a few of the eternal purposes, but it has been a good beginning. We will return, the Lord willing, next year….

Tacos, Steeples, and Synagogues…
We took a city tour yesterday. When I came home, I was so disappointed in my photos. I just wasn’t on top of it and missed some good opportunities–just too much on my mind otherwise, I guess. Really it is not like me to miss photos ops… Today we will meet with Julia’s family again….
