How many of you remember that scene in “It’s a Wonderful Life” where Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed are dancing at a high school prom? A jealous friend flips the switch to open the gym floor covering the swimming pool underneath. They just keep dancing along unaware they are about to fall with a big splash. Funny thing is that after everyone gets a big laugh, they start jumping in while Jimmy and Donna keep dancing!
LeRoy and I returned to the US in April of 2010 to celebrate our 25 years in missions and to figure out where to live and how to continue our work in Asia. After 20 months we finally leased a home in Spokane Valley, WA very near Tim, Marianne, Kaitlyn, Kyra and Micah.
Now we are based in the US and travel back and forth between here and Asia. We’ve returned 3 times so far for a total of 6 months. Another trip is planned for the spring of 2013.
Not long after we returned, a person unknown to us told us that we were ‘on the precipice’. Our interpretation was that we were at a point in our lives where God was about to do something big and/or different.
Since nothing earth-shaking has happened, I am assuming that we are still ‘dancing on the edge’. We continue to be involved with our former students, international students, Deaf ministry, hospitality, mentoring, writing and relief work.
So we continue to dance and wait to see if we fall or jump off the edge!
