Just in case you are not familiar with the story of the Lord of the rings here is a short introduction.
Hi our friend
How are you? Since we are so far away its hard to stay up to date with everyone. You are up to date with us through blog and newsletter but we would love to hear how you are doing. Drop us a quick line when you have time!!
Our week in San Francisco was a bit different. We had the fleet week in town and with that the big Italian heritage parade that went through our neighborhood. It brought many people together and brought many people to North beach. It’s a great way to invite neighbors to go to see the parade together. You can do that too, invite your neighbors to things you already do!! Our small groups we host at our house have been awesome too and a refresher for everyone who is part of it. So we are doing good here!
Remember we are not in competition with each other we have the same goal bringing people a step closer to Jesus!
Have a blessed week!!
Markus and Jen

A little while ago we watched the Lion King and found so many principals that we are writing about!
14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5.14-16
Recently I was reading Psalm 9 and I love especially the beginning part. David shows us here the right outlook and perspective. In the moment he thanks God for things he did in his life and then also tells about his wonderful deeds his outlook is changing. It is moving away from maybe an outlook or perspective of fear or something else he is facing to God who has all the answers. While writing most of the Psalms David is going through some challenges in life. But instead of just looking what he can see with his eyes, he is looking at the things he cannot see. He is speaking courage to himself by reminding himself that he is on the side of the Most High!
