Friends from afar come to our rescue!

Our amazing friends Dan & Jen (as couples, friends for over 15 years, Dan & I have been friends our whole life)came up all the way from Athens, Ohio(3 1/2 hours)just to help us plant our grass! Wow! What sacrifice. We didnt even need to ask, they just came. They are the most giving couple I have ever met. They left 4 years ago to help start a church along with 2 other couples...just like that. They left their jobs, families, friends...to start a much needed ministry out in the college town of Athens. Amazing!

We toiled hard yesterday in the blazing sun, working like maniacs to beat the rain. Raking, shoveling, raking, seeding, fertilizing, laying hay, watering...all before sundown! If anyone can make a job like that fun it is the four of us. We had such a good time thru our labor. David & I could not have done it without them! We would have STILL been out there as we speak! Then after we got cleaned up we enjoyed wings & friday nights Cavs/Pistons game that we had taped! What a way to end the evening!
I pray that God blesses this couple for all of their hard work & their many years of serving Him!
