New Chapter

Today was Day One of a new chapter. Nothing super-significant happened in it but it was still "Day One." We emptied the van (which allowed the back to raise more than 2 inches) and took "The Box" off of the trailer and got some things packed away. Susan and Bay went with Mom Ellsworth to WalMart to get a few things. We are staying with my parents for awhile until things get settled - probably a couple of months at least. We are VERY grateful to them.

Tonight we went to a Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees game (see picture above taken AFTER the game). This is the AAA team that directly feeds the New York Yankees. Ken, an administrator from the college, had tickets for a skybox so we enjoyed a great game from a great spot. Thank you, Ken. It was a good game but they lost to the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs - the team that supplies the Phillies. However, there was a great fireworks show afterwards and then it started to rain again. Ah, life is good :-)

Again, we want to thank you all for your thoughtful and prayerful following of our journey up to this point. It has meant a lot for us to see the clicks on the hit counter and know that many of them are equal to prayers for us. We value that and want you to know that we pray and thank God for you as well. This is a beautiful, reciprocal "Body of Christ" expression. We're so privileged to be a part of it.

We hope you'll continue to check in with us as over the next couple of weeks as I (Geoff) would like to share some things that we have been learning in this whole process. Two of the lessons will be from Matthew 6 and 1 Thessalonians 4. We'll look forward to sharing those with you soon as well as more news on the progress of our getting established here. We have NOT sold our house in Covina yet and that, along with getting the kids set for school, is the next big thing on the "to-do list." Thank you for your prayers on that matter too.

Thanks and love to you as together we move forward.
