From John – As I write this, we are less than 24 hours away from getting on the plane and heading out.  We have been hanging out with family these past few days and it’s been good to see everyone.  Packing is 95% complete (thanks to Ashley).  

There has been a series of last time to do this or last time to do that.  This morning, was our last time at our home church before we leave.  The last song we sang that is going through my head as I type this is “Let It Be Jesus.”  The bridge goes like this…

Should I ever be abandoned: Should I ever be acclaimed

Should I ever be surrounded by the fire and flame

There’s a name I will remember; There’s a name I will proclaim

Let it be, let it be Jesus

Let it be, let it be Jesus

Let it be, let it be

See you all on the other side!
