On The Road Again
May you experience the peace and love from God expressed through you and I in the new year! Our time in Baltimore ended on December 23. It was good this past month to continue to build on relationships at the house, as well as get a better feel of the city. It was especially good to have 'deeper' conversations than just "How are you? How was work?" We had many at the house and church who asked us to stay longer, but we are not ready to settle yet. We celebrated Christmas with our daughter, Michelle, in Philadelphia and are in the Lancaster area now. On Jan. 8 we will move into the International Guest House in Washington DC. Although this is a joyous, festive time of year, my (Ruth) thoughts have been especially focused on those who have little to look forward to. Living in Baltimore I was reminded daily of the disparity between those who have nice houses with many good shopping locations and schools nearby and those who need to live among rows of boarded up houses
