One of the highlights of the summer was a visit from Paul and Mary Boatman whom we met while studying at Lincoln Christian Seminary.  They were on their way to serve at House Edelweiss in Vienna.  It was a delightful time for all of us - especially for the kids who got to listen to story after story from Paul never even suspecting that he is in fact the Dr. Paul Boatman, dean of the seminary!!!

What joy to spend days in leisurely conversations, walk around the city, enjoying meals and just being together with some very dear people!  For us it was a blessing that made Elaine and myself look at each other, shake our heads and wonder ‘what a privilege.’
