- after our celebration, i went over to dave and cathy johnson's and got to eat a delicious easter meal with the johnson family, which is always a joy and priviledge. while hanging with them i got the distinct impression for the second week in a row that chip and jenn and family are in a good place and in good hands here in durango. while i was never going to be able to "take care of them," it does encourage me, as i leave, to see that they are well cared for in ministry and family life. very cool!!
- then, i spent the rest of the afternoon with some of the young couples in our church. we ate (i ate well yesterday!), played music together, and had some great times. there were a couple of moments where i imagined that this community will still be together, eating and playing music, months from now, when i am long gone, and that also was an encouragement to me. real community has been formed here. also very cool!!
- these are things that make me very happy.

Me too :) Thank you for all you've done here. You have been a wonderful friend and leader. Though I think we will survive here in Durango without you...it will not be quite the same and we will always refer to the "Steve years" as the good 'ol days. You are a church planter - a church father if you will...and you aren't even thirty. Too cool. You and Amy will always have a Durango family. Good work.
That was Jenn's comment, by the way...even though I share the sentiments!
I'm feeling very happy with you!
