Living in Grace is Such Fun!

We have been having a great week in God's grace. We returned from our trip on Sunday night, and then on Monday had a day of catching up on studies, laundry, and chainsaw work (for firewood). Yesterday (Tuesday) Dan had a good class session in the Gospel of Mark, followed by reading and writing assignments for his Theology of Evangelism class. He is learning a lot in the class that he will be able to use in future teaching in Venezuela. Nancy worked on catching up the checking account, the bills, and emails. Our whirlwind trip last week caught up with both of us late afternoon yesterday. We just simply ran out of gas physically and mentally, so we watched Good Will Hunting and ate popcorn for supper. Sort of an at-home, inexpensive date :) It was a very relaxing evening and we are back to normal energy now. Today in a morning Seminar Dan heard his dissertation mentor, Dr. George Hunter, share some of the insights from his new book on the church growth movement. This was a very helpful session, because Dan's dissertation will relate to some of the perspectives from that movement. More ministry administrative work for Nancy today, plus she cleaned out the fireplace so we can build another fire tomorrow (it turned cold again here today), bought farm fresh eggs, and did some more reading. We are so thankful for God's grace continuing to nurture us and support us, and we are grateful for those who make our ministry possible. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
