Friends

Last week was really special for us. Our friends of many years, Arlin and Pamela Hendrix, were able to stay with us for a couple of days, and our time with them, though usually brief, is always rich. We hiked in the hills behind our house; we caught up on all that is going on with each other's kids; we shared dreams and memories; we just soaked up our time to be together.

They're currently on furlough from their life-long work for Jesus in Lyon, France. Every three years or so they come back to the States to visit family and friends and touch base with supporters.

I just love how friendships in Jesus can grow and be enriched... even when we don't get to see one another very often. God is good.

Your friends know some of our friends! Their coworkers in Lyon are the brother and sister-in-law of our dear friend Jim White, back in Omaha. The world gets smaller and smaller.
