"In most religions the holiest men are those who are most separated from culture and sinners.  They live as monks and the like in remote areas, away from average people.  Conversely, Jesus Christ came into the mess of human history and spent time in community with believers and unbelievers alike.  Subsequently, religious people who separated themselves from sinners and cultures were prone to denounce Jesus for the kind of company he kept."

"Jesus is a better Noah who brings judgment of sin, salvation by grace to the family of God, and a new world free of sin and its effects. Jesus is a better Abraham, the blessing to the nations of the earth. Jesus is a better Moses as God's prophet who fulfilled the law for us, allows God's wrath to pass over us because of his shed blood, conquered our pharaoh of Satan, redeemed us from sin, and journeys with us toward home despite our sin and grumbling. And Jesus is a better David who is seated on a throne ruling as the King of kings and is coming again to establish his eternal and global kingdom of peace and prosperity."
From Doctrine by Mark Driscoll & Gerry Breshears.

You can probably tell by the lack of new posts on here that we've been busy getting settled in Eau Claire.  The Lord was so good to us with the move. 

Our latest newsletter is in the mail with updates and prayer requests for the Summer.  If you'd like to receive our quarterly updates, please let me know.

      We're staying with our coworkers and dear friends, the Hubbards, this week and are in the midst of taking care of last minute details and saying goodbye.  We have been SO blessed by the Nav students, our church, our family, and our friends these last few days!  We feel so loved, supported, and covered in prayer as we embark on this next adventure!  Thank you everyone!!!   You are truly God's grace to us!
     Wednesday we'll load up a few remaining things in a trailer; Thursday morning we close on our house sale here in Champaign and head half-way to Eau Claire!  And Friday we'll arrive in EC and start the unloading and unpacking process!
