One Wild Week!



As I sit here and unwind after one wild week, I am kinda sad it is over. This past week was the Passion Play production. We have spent the last 12 weeks preparing for this. Lots of late nights and tired kids. Some days accompanied by frustration, emotions and exhaustion. Illness has tried to slow us down, but God has given us a supernatural strenght to carry on. There is no other explination for it.

For the past week we have been staying at our wonderful friends Tiffany and Jerome Blegers. As we live quite a distance from Durango. It is true friends who will open up their hearts and home in the way that these two do, not just for us but many others also.

Do you all remember how fun sleepovers were when we were all kids? The great food and conversation. Staying up late and laughing so hard you almost or did have bladder trouble. This past week has reminded me of all that and more. We stayed up later than we should talking, and laughing at things that without sleep deprivation would not have been remotely funny. And watching each other kids play and celebrate Easter together with egg decorating, baskets the whole thing. It was awesome. As grown ups we don't really get to do this sort of thing anymore. I have enjoyed getting to once again.

I often think oh to be a kid again. Maybe that is what we need to do just every once in a while, is do some of the funner than fun things that made being a kid so great.
