Fall has arrived in BG, or maybe it is just Hurricane Ike, but I am loving it! I certainly missed Autumn last year. It was high on my list of “things I missed about America.” As the school semester really gets moving, I feel this real tendency to want to go and go longer hours and do and do more for CRU. I know the Lord’s work doesn’t need me, and it is simply a privilege that I get to be a part of it, so am trying to learn that balance of tending to others and tending to that “inner garden” with the Lord.

On a special prayer request note- Sam has a job interview today!!!! It is with a faith based non-profit in Toledo that works with the homeless, and he thinks it is an organization he could get excited about. Unfortunately, he is curled up in bed with a stomach bug, so he needs prayer for heeling, too.

By the way, have I mentioned that we live with rabid Browns fans……. yeh, luckily, we aren’t homeless after last night
