And now for something completely different: How are you?

Enough heavy theological lifting for a while; let's head in a different, more personal direction: how are you? What's new, what's happening? One purpose for our blog is to help us stay in touch with one another in between actually being together, so let's invest some posting-and-commenting into relational things. No need to argue a point or defend a position here, just let us know "how's by you?"
