traveling mercies

sean and i made it safely from houston to lexington - thanks for your prayers.  two days and one thousand miles with a HUGE truck and trailer.  one blown tire and one hot-and-bothered radiator.  an englishman and an australian at home in the united states eating interstate fast food along the way.  it was a relief to complete the journey and a joy to have the truck unpacked (thanks to the generous and tireless helpers of communality).  sean returns to texas where he and the family with finalize their departure with a farewell feast at mercy street - their beloved community for 7 years.  here are some pictures to go with these words...

What a great thing to be welcoming the Gladding's back to Kentucky!...a very happy occassion for us though I am sad for the people at Chapelwood and Mercy Street who I know love them dearly...not a bad thing to be beloved by so many people in multiple places...and thanks Geoff for these great photos from stages along the way...I know that that trip was hard but a lot of fun and you deserve it....looking forward to what the future holds and very thankful to God for making this possible....it is definitely a renewing thing for my faith...Welcome Reba, Sean, Maggie & Seth!
