Yes, that's right...2 days! I have become famous recently after a long article about me in the Brookville paper. I like to joke that nothing happens in B-ville, so they write about the people who leave. Although, this has been a pretty exciting week around here with the Bicentennial. The entire street was closed off on Friday, with a stage built across it. Pretty fun, and Kutless will be here tomorrow.

I have been cramming everything into my suitcases in the last few days. I really think if they open them in airport security, they won't get them closed again. Weighing them is always tricky (I like the stand on the scale method with the suitcase and subtract your weight--is that accurate?), and I had to do some rearranging because one was at least 85 lbs! But 1 bag is clothes and the rest is cool stuff for the kids.
I have begun to get very excited. And finally a little nervous too. I have become very antsy and unable to sleep in the morning. I'm ready to just get on that plane. I'm sitting here listening to an old Hope College Chapel CD, and it reminds me of the places I've been and things that are to come, much of which were dreams planted in my heart back in the Hope days. Tim Brown is telling me to "Get up, get outta here, and go be a Gospel...you may be the only Bible that some people ever read, the only Gospel that some people ever experience. So let your text be read well and your Gospel experienced deeply." Great words to live by. And speaking of Hope, I had a wonderful 4 days seeing college friends in Michigan last week. Even though we are spread out, I am always grateful for their continued friendship, love, and support.
