I'd highly recommend getting your very own website. Since JeremyBear.com went live, I've heard from some of the most wonderful people I've ever had the pleasure to meet... Old friends, old colleagues, and dear family members have been stumbling across it, and dropping me the odd note here and there. So far, everyone has been very charitable with kind words about the site. It sort of makes me wish we weren't leaving so soon for a place so far way.

Argh. Onward and upward.

Last night our cell group (which, for those heretofore unacquainted with the term, is something like a Bible study - minus the pretense) threw a lovely little going-away bash for us, and also presented us with some very generous parting gifts. It's nice to be surrounded by people who truly authenticate what Church is supposed to be about. Dave & Johanna Matheny, Dave & Kelly Hassenzahl, Dave & Renee Reinke, Scott & Emily Sutton, and Nate & Barb (soon to be) Case... you people make it difficult to leave. Thanks, and we love you guys.
