Just being together is important- time spent is everything.the church cannot be the body of christ through a computer. It takes hands to wash feet.tstephenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00220817629374548589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624748809796586588.post-77676954518319041882009-05-25T18:24:27.768-07:002009-05-25T18:24:27.768-07:00If only we could plant a mango tree, but they don't grow in this area. I can't wait to go with you next time. I am always a little jealous of when you go. I have such great memories of the trips we have taken in the past. God is at work throughout the world, we just lose sight of that sometimes. Maybe we can let out cherry tree stand for the mango tree.

I hope you know things are in good hands here. Ned did great! I pray that you come back with the enthusiasm to change the word. I hope we at One Life can catch on the urgency to help change our city for Christ. I love you and miss you!Dawn Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07172518838127124369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624748809796586588.post-39033480672464971712009-05-24T14:07:13.492-07:002009-05-24T14:07:13.492-07:00You all are in our thoughts and prays.<br /><br />We had a fantastic morning at Church.

We are missing you, yet excited to hear about all that God does there. Update on the home front: School is going good. Chase had a wonderful field trip to the Sutter hospital. Trinity came over today, and the boys loved it. We even took her to McDonald's. That was very fun, and you should have seen the looks. We love you and love the adventure side of you! Watch out Indiana! Have fun storming the castle...you think it will work...it will take a miracle.Troy Dean (&amp; Kent and Ned)http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451701324599222624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624748809796586588.post-40374206318764033442009-03-06T08:47:00.000-08:002009-03-06T08:47:00.000-08:00love it- so much- as a christian woman- and a friend to many gays and lesbians- I applaud your out of the box thinking.

I know that I hid from him for a long time out in plain sight! <BR/><BR/>Now as I pursue HIM with my eyes wide open and life all surrendered, it is still tough but is so reassuring to know that God is in control, knows all the deepest secrets and still wants to have that personal relationship with me and use me to bring others to HIM as well. HUMBLING, really that is what it is... Humbling<BR/><BR/>Faith, Conviction and consecration! You really hit it on the nose. <BR/><BR/>I praise God for how he has used you in my life (Past) and I thank you for following Christ so that many can understand HIM better. You have a strong charge there in Lincoln, my prayers are with you, Dawn and the family! <BR/><BR/>Blessings and prayers, NicoleNicole (Coco)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02380425676676598128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624748809796586588.post-44039309274120006262008-09-30T21:58:00.000-07:002008-09-30T21:58:00.000-07:00OH.
