Hello friends,

This spring seems to be the most beautiful and uplifting I have ever experienced despite the fact that I am busier than ever before with numerous responsibilities and distractions. The weather, country living, the sky, the birds, buds, greenery and heavenly blessings are more awesome than I can express. I hope it is the same or better for you. I really hope that you are able to spend time with friends and to hear them and really be heard. Jesus wants us to be able to express our hearts, ambitions, dreams and even frustrations and heart breaks with others that care. He wants us to enable and encourage each other and release the potential in each other. Those things are part of heaven-on-earth that we can experience right now. I have enjoyed this as we have worked and dreamed together as we have worked to make Christ’s kingdom on the earth a reality. It appears, in fact, that any attempt to obey the Lord together will be accompanied by this level of blessed enjoyment.
