Family Times

I spent Sunday with my siblings in Philadelphia. Even after France's tragic loss we still managed to come up with some smiles for a picture. It was really cool to worship together in one spot. Being spread all over the globe we don't often get that chance. While we were singing, I looked up to see my sister and sister-in-law on praise team, and then beside me were both my brothers and other sister-in-law. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my sister's husband across the sanctuary with his hands lifted up as he worshipped and it struck me how blessed we are to get together and have all of us excited about worshipping God, not just with deeds, but with our bodies, souls and spirits.

Family, sweet family! I was gonna say "home, sweet home", but I'm not really sure where that is anymore. Anyway, I left Switzerland, made my connection in Paris, and found myself safely in Newark, NJ... WITHOUT MY SUITCASES!!! Don't ask me how I am so unlucky. My consolation is that they told me they know where my suitcases are this time and they will deliver them to my house, and I actually believe them. Welcome back to America!

My siblings all showed up at my dad's last night for a barbeque - pork and shrimp on the grill, fresh corn on the cob, my sister's cheesecake and my stepmom's very berry tart - mmm! I even ate salad without getting sick - yay! It was so awesome to visit with all of my siblings.

While I was in Germany I had very limited access to the web, so now I'm catching up on my email & websurfing -- in between catching up with my family :)

ooh i'm out of battery!
