I began my first blog nearly two years ago. I hadn’t been blogging long when I added Julie to my friends list. She was also fairly new to the blogosphere. Our blog comments evolved into e-mails and Instant Messages and then, when we were home on furlough in 2005 she invited us to drop by her house. On one of our Alabama – New York trips we decided to take her up on her offer. Julie is truly a brave soul to invite practical strangers to stay with her but she has a heart for missionaries and genuine hospitality. In fact, she never felt like a stranger to me but more like a kindred spirit.
Yesterday, she and her kids plus a couple of extras were able to stop by for a much too brief visit on their way to West Virginia. I am so glad that we are here in the states and we don’t have the Romania/US distance to deal with, but Texas is still too far away. I am thrilled that we are just about the halfway point for her on her journey and she was able spend some time with us. Who knows? Maybe some day we will live closer to each other. Until then we have the blogosphere to keep in touch.

Thank you for your hospitality. Tayva has been talking about her visit with you and how much she enjoyed getting to know you. We will be praying for you with your time of transition.

It was so much fun to get together. I haven't even had a chance to blog about it yet!
I am thinking I should have dried my hair that morning before pictures! Yikes!
