How Good

The ever so brief Psalm 133 describes how good it is when brothers live "in unity." This weekend Lindsey and I attended a team meeting back in Missouri, and we got a tast of the goodness that the psalmist describes. It was wonderful! In the past few months many of us on the team have been through a number of painful and trying circumstances, and this meeting provided a beautiful opportunity to band together. We spent good times speaking, listening, and praying with one another, offering grace and encouragement, and generally shoring each other up to return the work we are all engaged in. It was wonderful.

Lindsey and I in particular have faced some difficult challenges this last month, and the counsel and encouragement that we have received from friends in St. Louis, here in Annapolis, and on our GYFM team has been invaluable. This weekend came as a wonderful reminder that we are not alone, that we have dear friends and supporters who love us deeply, and are excited to step in and offer us the care we need. Thank you all so much for being there for us. We love you - thank you for supporting us in both our professional work and in our personal lives.

Behold, how good and pleasant it is

when brothers dwell in unity!

It is like the precious oil on the head,

running down on the beard,

on the beard of Aaron,

running down on the collar of his robes!

It is like the dew of Hermon,

which falls on the mountains of Zion!

For there the LORD has commanded the blessing,

life forevermore.

(Psalm 133 ESV)
