We made it!!



The days waned, school work was wrapped up, good byes were said, trucks were loaded, help was given...


And we made it. We arrived at our new home (which we all love!) tonight before 5:00pm. We have unloaded some, have more unloading to do tomorrow at 1:00, and are settling in.


A significant question has occurred to me. It's in the form of a multiple choice that I will also pose to you...

Are you:

A. Living the dream
B. Living a dream
C. Both A. and B.

We chose option C. Think about it with me. We moved here for a non-existing church and a job that has no income for people we don't yet know.

Are we crazy? Crazy like a fox, who counts his risk and makes his move.

Mark 10:29"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.

We are significantly rolling the dice here. But we are rolling the dice on God.

So, welcome to the next chapter of the greatest story ever told- not the Riecke family story, but the story of the most important organization on the face of the planet- the Church of Jesus Christ.
