The Russells

The way to our "home away from home"...

The Russells have graciously put us up in their "shop." This is their office in the disguise of a guest house. We have 2 bedrooms, the exercise room got converted to the boy's room, a living room, kitchenette, bath, conference room turned school room, and our very own reception desk turned kitchen counter. I have the crock pot, toaster, expresso machine (very important - right, Dad?), electric skillet, a microwave and fridge. What else could I need for this adventure? Oh yeah, they have a real popcorn machine, too. Like the one in the movie theatre. Only, I don't know how to use it.

So as I sit here typing, I am overwhelmed with a sense of privilege. We have experienced the depth of faith-walking and now the favor of the Lord. Who are we that God would send someone to shower us with unconditional love? The answer: we are royalty. Now that is something to meditate on this evening. We are royalty.
