AROUND TOWN: home is where the heart is...
This is our new home. I must admit that it has been difficult calling this place home. I have many homes, and catch myself calling different places home: Circleville, Mt. Vernon, Kansas City, and St. Paul's. I have noticed that when I speak I often find myself referring to these places by saying, "at home," or "back home." It has been a hard thing to make myself not say those things and to call this place home. I think it is important that these people know that this is our home. Not some place from the past. It is tough, and I think we have all been there, but I think it is a worth while endeavor to always refer to the place where we are as "home." If we are to take John 1 seriously, then being incarnational in the world means making our dwelling...our home...with those around us. Jesus was not just a visitor, or a jouneyman on his way to another destination. He became flesh and dwelt among us. He made our home His home. Ministry must being with an affirmation that I am one of you...that you are my people. Go today making where you are, the people you are with, your home.

Nice decoration leaning against the porch. Also it is nice that Magna is welcoming everyone by yawning...
Welcome HOME!!!!
dad and mom
Qiz meet went horrible. But it was fun. Andy of course made us crack up. Looks like a nice home. MU destroyed Ole Miss. Tonight OSU will get destroyed as well. GO LONGHORNS!
Forget the prediction I made about the game. OSU surprised me. No.33 shall keep the linebacker tradition.
It looks like a great place. What about the inside. Can we get a virtual tour or something?
How nice to have a porch to set the chairs on. Hope you enjoy visiting with neighbors as they pass by. I assume your small town is like Ada where everyone says hi. Have a great week.
No virtual tour until I figure out how to downsize image files.
OK about the inside. It has a ton of rooms. Downstairs is a kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom, office, bathroom, three closets. The basement is large and unfinished with two rooms. One is going to be our storage/laundry/boiler room. The other we are going to try and fix up and finish a little to make a room for the youth group. The upstairs has one large bedroom with a kitchenette and a large deck. It has four small bedrooms, and a full bath. The upstair is completely unused at the time. We will be working with the church to remodel the upstairs...it needs it!
