Your desire to do God's will and follow His plan is clear and lovely. Every step and lesson will serve you well in church 2.0. Cool beans - luv you guys! Lisa Marc & Emily,

As you mentioned about reflecting on the past, I also further encourage you to dig into the why's & wherefore's of why H2O ville didn't "take off", as it were, and not be hesitant to solicit feedback from those who may have walked with you. I'm a big fan of feedback from others, as they see stuff you don't in many cases. Well guys, here's to ya, all the hard work you've done, & to the next phase. early mornin Guinness..
