With my sabbatical journey winding down (I've only got two weeks left) I've been thinking. I know it's easy to focus on "what you're doing," but I'm convinced "who you're with" matters as much, or more, than "what you're doing."
You can put up with some pretty tough circumstances when you're with the people you love, and the best circumstances are turned sour by contentious and wicked people. "Who you're with" makes all the difference.
So, I'm thanking my kids for being who they are. They're fantastic people and when Sheila and I are with them it's wonderful, no matter where we are. They prepared this feast for us when we were in Tahoe two months ago, but the good food paled in comparison to the love we shared.
Our next gathering? Christmas, and I can't wait.
Proverbs 21:9 - It is better to live in a corner of a roof than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

I have really enjoyed following you along your sabbatical journey. I'm glad you got to experience Italy. I've been in Italy since September 15th and am considering mission work here. I also want to say THANK YOU for the little segment you did of last week's message. I listened to the podcast, so I'm not sure if it was a video of you saying what you said about missionaries overseas, but I appreciate your words of support. GCC is such a fantastic church, but I love that you guys are KINGDOM focused, working with the Church in India as well.
