In a field near a town called Schull (Skull)

From Ireland Road Trip


The last few nights we stayed with Jon Nash and his family, also previously strangers, we were invited in for a cup of tea and stayed for hours exchanging card tricks, and one AMAZING match trick that trumps my failed attempt at a card trick big time, and I played some serious “Go Fish” with Etain and Aoife (pronounced Atoyn and Efa). Dierdra, Jon’s wife, whipped up some delicious Spanish Omelets and we enjoyed a few cups of tea and fresh (really fresh, like made by the guy down the road fresh) cheesecake. Liam was a joy, an incredibly mature young man armed with just a sketch pad and pencil. Hopefully, we will see him some day in the states (seriously Liam, think about it; surf, great weather, pretty girls…) We are humbled, so humbled by God’s great provision and His leading us to such wonderful people. We had some excellent conversations with Dierdra and Jon and a lot of what we talked about rekindled some old and very practical convictions. One: I don’t “need” a lot of stuff. Those of you that know me, know that I really struggle against this and fail miserably, but I really need to grasp this truth better.
