Well, Brenda has returned to her home and ministry in The Netherlands after her six week breakaway.

She sent us a few pictures of her flight back.

And then some shots of her home in Zaandam just to prove she made it.

While she was with us, we had Sevy’s second birthday and Mom’s 87th birthday.

We took a trip to Tennessee to visit friends and to rest in the mountains.

She sang on worship team and visited with friends from the church and the area.

Now it is back to life as “normal” for both us and her. Brenda starts rehearsals for her Christmas shows this week. We have a worship conference and a Fall Festival in town this weekend.
I guess I am not really sure what “normal” is. Brenda says her house is quiet compared to ours. maybe that its back to normal, but I know our house is quieter too without her voice in the room and her present in the table.

Maybe normal is us here and her there. Maybe it is us doing our jobs. But maybe normal is just what we are used to and abnormal is the things we have yet to get used to. Anyway whatever normal is I know we miss Brenda and she misses us.

WHAT DO YOU THINK NORMAL IS?
