We are well past the Christmas holiday but it was a wonderful time for Diane and me. Our daughter, Julie Marcum and her husband Josh along with Michaela were with us for about five weeks. Josh and Julie are now in Cochabamba, Bolivia beginning their church planting effort in that city. The Livonia Church of Christ is providing half their personal support and that is the reason for their long stay with us. Long stays like that can be difficult but we weathered it all just fine, including my backing into Josh's car and putting it in the shop. It was a special Christmas with Michaela and we enjoyed it all. Matt came home from ACU the middle of December and we enjoyed having him with us for the long holiday.
Things are now back to normal, or for what passes as normal. Josh, Julie, and Michaela left for Bolivia January 9th. Matt has returned to ACU and Diane and I are busy with our work and ministry here. I hope to start posting my sermons again in a few day. Please pray for the Marcums and especially for our other daughter Laura who is expecting her first child (a boy) in early March. We will be going to Japan around the time of the birth for two weeks. God's blessings on you and yours in the New Year.
