Still here in Cincinnati at the Brownhouse, home of Kevin and Tracy Rains and several others. We've been here since yesterday evening. Amazing time as always here with so many friends we haven't spent time with in a while. Bean, Marshall, Johhnson, Klinefelter, Eric and Beth Keck, Jim Henderson dropped in, Mike Bishop and Ryan Hale also made it, and Palmer of course. Much late night hours talking and laughing. New friends were here as well, always good to meet new people on the journey. I love these people.
Great time in worship, Eucharist and praying for and over Palmer this morning. The Holy Spirit was obviously manifested here. We believe together we have entered into the battle that has beaten his enemy, and ours. We await, as he put it, with subversive hope, and faith the good news of his healing and recovery.
I've been hijacked into staying another night by my wife and kids. Liz had to go home and work but will come back and get us tomorrow night. She's good like that. That's it for now. Peace to you.
