It’s one of the great beauties of the Christian life that we can say “I am in the right place.  God is good and on the throne.  I really want to be with Pat and Lezlie or Jay and Jess (or whoever).  I’m really sad that I’m missing the early years of their kids.  It hurts like crazy.”  And there’s no incongruity in that statement.  It’s just the tension of life and trusting God in that tension is one of the most glorifying things we can do.

Sorry we haven’t had a lot to say recently.  We really are doing pretty well and getting adjusted.  We love you all and miss you (well…most of you).

Mark and Ange
