MAY 1998

We found ourselves quite busy in April, though we took time off for the first two weeks of the month. For those two weeks our lives sort of mirrored each other. Below, a brief comparison . . .

Michael went to Paris and felt the joys and anxieties of foreign travel. I stayed at home and did my taxes. Michael worshipped on Good Friday at the Sacre-Coeur Cathedral, which in French means either "Sacred Heart" or "really big building." I worshipped at St. Paul's, which in Ohio means "the church I go to." Michael strolled the streets of Paris by the River Seine. I strolled down to the post office to mail my tax returns out by 5 p.m.

All in all, not much difference in our activities. I think next year I might travel to Europe and see if Michael is interested in filing my tax forms for me.

Anyway, not much to report beyond that. In the second half of the month, we flew to Dallas for a Lutheran Youth Workers' Convention where we had a great time. From there we were off to Chicago and a win in November with your support! Oh, that was from our Presidential campaign speech, sorry. What I meant was, off to Chicago for a Youth Encounter Jr. High gathering. The following week we were honored to play at the Ichthus Festival in Wilmore, Kentucky where we met hundreds of people and had a most marvelous time.
