The stars at night are big and bright

Late Thursday, a little too late, a very tired family got off of a very crowded airplane and sauntered through Houston Hobby airport with a decent amount of wordly possessions in tow. They took the shuttle, rented their car and headed to a nearby hotel where they all subsequently passed out. That’s right, my friends – the Stevens have arrived in Texas.

Let me first tell you that this week has been a crazy one. Between packing, finishing up the CD and another thing I’ll tell you about, I’m running on fumes. I got about 10 total hours of sleep Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights combined. But we’re here and it’s all worth it.

This morning, we drove over three hours to Waco where our dear friends, Pastor Kevin and Becky Harrison, pastor a church. Some of you may know Pastor Kevin as the one who officiated Caleb’s funeral back in August. They are faithful friends who saw us thorough some of our darkest days. It is good to be with them again. We’re doing a Chain Reaction weekend here. The people are “getting it” – good stuff.

OK. Other stuff. Dave is doing the final mix on the CD. We had intended to send it out to be reproduced before we left, but didn’t feel we should rush it for the sake of getting it done a week sooner. Look for an early May release…

WE FOUND A HOUSE! It all happened very quickly. We saw it on Wednesday and made an offer that night, knowing anyone else would snatch it up as soon as they saw it. It is perfect for us and has a huge yard. Please pray that if it’s meant to be that everything will fall into place.

That’s all for now. Hope all of you are well. Stay tuned.
