Remember how no news is good news...

many apologies to those of you back home...we are all very much alive and well. i could get into how truly awful the internet has been but i won't. the pictures that we got up the first few days were taken from a stack of several hundred...that stack quickly grew into the thousands and to be perfectly honest there just hasn't been time to go through them. we will make every effort to post as many as possible but in the end we will probably set up a smugmug or snapfish or even a facebook account to house the staggering number of team photos.

to recap where we left off...CFest was a tremendous success. truly awesome. the Lord did a great work...and to top it off it was very well attended...fairly decent weather...minimal sickness...and a fantastic team. i won't do each and every day a disservice by recapping it...this is more of a "hi, we're OK" kind of message...but it's 1AM on the day of our departure home and we thank you for your continued prayers and support. we will have much to talk (and show) about the festival in the days to come so please don't give up on checking the blog.

blessings and goodnight
