On the road again!

We just returned from a week trip to the Baltimore area. Saw several friends, some family, several on our support team and attended a conference. We've been traveling some each month since the beginning of the year. Has it already been four months and we're well into May? March we were in Alabama and Georgia. Last month I was in central Florida. Always heard that "time flies when you're having fun!" It also flies when you are trying to balance life and all its demands from several directions- work, wife, kids, friends, church, personal spiritual life, personal growth, rest, relaxation, hobbbies?!?, technology, learning and growing, my part of the household, etc. (You know the drill!) I thought this was supposed to be easier when you got older!
Several years ago someone told me that it is all downhill from age 45. I don't know their experience. I'm still looking for the crest of the hill! It's not so steep these days, though I have the distinct impression that I'm still heading uphill. (At least I'm not sliding backwards!)
Two weeks ago we shared for the Wednesday night program at Skyland Church, where we live here in Atlanta. We are thoroughly enjoying getting to know folks here in the church. Had the opportunity to talk about France, the needs and our work there. They were very responsive and encouraging. We are always grateful for these chances to motivate and mobilize folks for missions.
