It is no secret that one of the most difficult things about living and ministering in Alaska is the distance between us and our firends. There are many times when I am tempted to think about the distance and feel sorry for myelf. And while I cannot simply call one of you up to go for coffee, those times when I am on the road and able to drop in for a visit become like a spring in the dessert.
So, instead of focusing on the distance I chose to see the blessing. I am blessed that on almost every trip I take, there is at least one of you I call friend who is nearby. Wheather it's Onatrio, the Maratimes, East Coast USA, or Washington, there is a friend nearby to go for coffee. While you may not always be the reason for the trip, you are always the highlight. So thank you for your friendships. Thank you for opening your homes and allowing us into your families.
There may not always be a reason to come to Alaska, but know that our door is always opened to you.
