Dear Dave and Irene,

Though the turns of life have once again moved us far from you, our hearts are forever close and knit with yours.  Throughout every single day our hearts cry out to the Father on your behalf; and we do so with confident joy, because the LORD still shepherds those who are his.  Karl Barth defined joy as “a defiant nevertheless”, and we certainly remain defiant—God is greater than any circumstance and his will is always accomplished.  Since God is for us, what can be successful against us?  Nothing, NOTHING can separate us from the love of God expressed in Christ Jesus.  We WILL see his salvation!

We love you,
Andy & Tina
