I'm learning to play the piano

okay, I'm not really learning to play the piano (but Anne is), it's just a big joke around here that I need to learn to play now that I am a pastor's wife. Phil, Corban, and I are home again after an awesome time in Amsterdam. We were so happy to see the Dutchies and Will, and then doubley blessed when Anne showed up for a visit. We did some volunteering at the Cleft and at the Tabernacle. Will and I had fun feeding the birds on Thursdays at the Open afternoons (it got a little Alfred Hitchcockish). Now that we are home, Phil has started his job at our church and said to me the other day for the first time in our marriage: "I can't wait to go to work tomorrow." Praise God! I am doing really good, too. Besides loving being a mom, I have been feeling like a new season of spiritual renewal is opening up for me. I feel like the Lord is giving me joy in my salvation again and softening my heart towards Him more and more.
Well, I have tried publishing this twice now. I hope this time will work. I'd really like to post a picture, but I don't know how.
Love you guys,
Corrie

HAPPY 2006 EVERYONE!
