Goodbye Chi-town ... soon!

It won't be long now until we start heading away from the GCA (does that stand for Greater Chicago Area ... can you tell I'm Ontarian?). We've been to 10 different venues already, which is certainly hard to believe, and we're about to hit an insane end to this week! Tomorrow we're in South Holland, IL ... Thursday we're singing at Moody Bible Institute, Friday we're singing twice at Wheaton Academy and then Saturday we're making an 8 hour trek up to Wisconsin so we can sing at two different venues on Sunday!! These kids are working real hard, but a calm is coming! In this case, it looks to be a calm AFTER the storm!

For those looking for an update on things back home, well, things are kinda complicated these days! Dad was actually home for a little bit! He was eating (somewhat) and walking around (somewhat), but he finds himself in the hospital again. They were going to operate on him on Monday but decided it to be unnecessary because what they thought was wrong was no longer showing up on scans! The surgeon is just shrugging his shoulders saying, "I don't know!" We're kinda at a place of finding that balance between "We wish someone could find a solution" and "Maybe God has already caused the solution!" There is really nothing that I can do, but it's still hard to not be there!! I believe that God has brought the busyness at an opportune time, causing me to not just sit and dwell on the negative, but keeping me distracted! Not forgetting what is going on, but still not letting it take over my life!!

Thank you to all who have been praying! I'm starting to get used to this whole "leading" thing! Ya, I've been in leadership for many years, but I've never felt this responsibility before! Things are starting to look familiar and the mass chaos is starting to calm a little bit, even as the schedule intensifies!!

Some exciting news is coming ... keep posted! I'll fill ya in soon!
