Goodbye to Olive Street

Well, in just 2 days, we officially move across town. This is going to be a very welcome change, and we're more than excited about God's provision with this new home. It does, however, seem a bit unreal that we're not going to live on Olive Street anymore. We've spent the last 4 1/2 years there eating, sleeping, bathing, worshiping, partying, and watching Sky Angel. 2 of our kids were born in that house. It will be hard moving everything out of there and watching it become an empty anonymous place. It will be hard to sell it and to not be able to walk in at will. I have made fun of it many times for being on the west side of town, for not being very attractive, for having a poor layout, among other things. But that house will always be in my memory as the place where we raised our kids when they were young. As I tear up here, I say publicly that I have no regrets about buying the home. I only regret not being a better neighbor and witness for Jesus while living there. By God's grace, may I actively share Jesus with my new neighbors across town.
