A July hello

It's a sunny day in Helsinki.  Since last posting, I have been to Israel and back with my family to visit my sister.  Like most trips, it was quickly gone, but it was good to be together. There's always much else going on as well, but this post is more to just say hello. 

I also wanted to take the moment to remind you of some basic things: Be of good courage. Don't lose heart.  Trust God. Be thankful. Rejoice in this day.

Yep, that's it for today!
