Back In Philly

Just a very quick note to let everyone know we made it back to Philly safely for our last year of seminary - three down, one to go (woo hoo!).

We got in about 3 PM yesterday afternoon, ran to Costco for some mandatory pantry restocking, grabbed a new wireless router (mine evidently got fried by a power surge over the summer), and then ran to the airport to pick up Ryan and Rachel as they returned from some much needed time away in Nova Scotia.

By the time we finally got to bed it was midnight. Then we got up this morning and went to church at Spirit & Truth, which was a major blessing - both to reconnect with friends we've made there, but also to hear Manny's message from John 15 on friendship. Good stuff, as we think about our own friends (we're sure going to miss those of you back home in MT, but we're looking forward to seeing all of you out here again), and also consider how Christ makes it possible for us to be friends with God.

At any rate, there's a lot more to say, so be on the lookout for a major update in the next day or so. In the meantime, we've got tons of stuff to unpack, and we could probably all use a nap this afternoon. If you live here in Philly and want to get together, the next couple of days are fairly open for us - please give us a call!
