TerryNelson shindig

Had a great time at the TerryNelson shindig tonight! It was fun to blend some worlds and introduce a few people to each other, as well as meet some new folks. Tom Fisher and wife Clara Jo were there (my God's Politics, Laos connection) and I introduced them to Ian (and at my urging they had recently met Chris as well). Then, I met the Steiger Ministry couple, Leah and Scott. She went to Amherst High and ...Yale Divinity and he is doing his PhD on Barth. They are members at Grace and are doing some cool stuff around the Valley. They met a bunch of us folks and the Fishers for the first time. Loeschers were there and I got to talk to them about Laos (now they know I am on the Board) and introduced them to Fishers and the Steiger folks. Ron was on the original Laos board, for years and Leah;s mom is on the Board now... so that was cool. Anneli's Dad was there too and Aaron and he talked about film and Baird and he talked about maps and such. Looks like Baird will be getting some cool maps on CD from him. Everyone was asking about Jess and Ben and look forward to them coming home :-). That includes Josh and Carrie and Andrew who were there too! The gathering was a very interesting coming together of several Christian realms and was quite exciting for me .....a glimpse of things to come perhaps??????
