Dry

I go through fazes like this, don't you? Where you're just out of energy to say anything; where you're just, dry?

Well, in spite of that, things are going well here. Our team just got out of our latest retreat with some great goals for 2008. Family's doing well. Church continues to grow and take shape.

Stephen and Ashley Capps have been with us a couple of weeks. We met Stephen last home service visit at Ozark. They have long-range plans to serve in Ireland, but came to visit Ancona and help with childcare during our retreat. They have been GREAT - super positive, servants and have really enjoyed meeting some of our friends and exploring our city. Heading out the door to a birthday party for Maria Chiara and then date night...yeah buddy!

The story goes like this:

There once was a church down by the port in Ancona, Italy. With the passing of time, shaken by earthquakes and beaten by the winds, the foundations of the church crumbled and the church toppled into the sea. A friend of ours shared with us that she remembers, as a little girl, playing along the pier and seeing the remains of the church under the water. She remembers seeing the cross from the top of the church under the surface. She told us that some say that if the wind was strong enough and the waves choppy enough, you could even hear the bells...

The story leads to this question:

If we were to raise her out of the water, if we were to restore her completely to what she was originally intended to be...what would she look like? If we were to remove her from all the traditions that humankind has surrounded her with and drowned her in...who would she be?
