as we travel this sod...

Yesterday my family joined us at church.  By family, I mean my mom and dad, my nieces and nephew, my aunt and uncle, my 3 cousins, 2 cousin-husbands, and two baby second cousins (one in his/her mama's tummy).  There wasn't enough room to squeeze into one of the TWO pews that they occupied, so I sat in front of them.  It's been so nice to be "home" in so many ways, but there was something truly sweet and comforting about worshipping with my family in our new church.  My family isn't shy about singing out, and I loved picking out each familiar voice.  It was just great to have their support as well, that they wanted to see our new church and hear Todd preach.  Thank you, my supportive, sweet family!
