Don't Mess with Texas!

My cousin, Ashley Anderson, graduated from Regents (http://www.regentsschool.com/) High School in Austin, Texas. Christie and I flew to Texas a few days ago to celebrate in the joyous occation. Our grandparents and Aunt Ginger and Uncle Dan also flew down.

WHM Family taken in Greece

Ponderings from Greece...

"My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water." Jeremiah 2:13. This verse really spoke to my heart in Greece as I strived to work & minister out of a broken cistern. I try so hard to do life from a broken cistern and truly believe it will hold water. I have such a hard head! Lord, teach us that only your cistern will hold water- not only water but living water.

Christy and I testing the Greece cuisine. Christy is trying an anchovy and I'm trying some kind of crawfish. Not bad at all, actually they were quite tasty.

Last night three girls and I went dancing downtown Philly. Bethany (in the picture) is my friend at WHM that I've mentioned before on my blog. We had a lot of fun together even though drinks started at $8. Expensive!!! I love living in the suburbs and then being able to stay with Bethany for a weekend of "city life."

The Haymes Family has become one of my adopted families in Philly. I sat down with them at church this morning and Bob said, "Welcome home." I looked at him and realized Philadelphia is home. As I drove around Center City this afternoon I was proud of my new city. It's good to be home.
