Withdrawl!

In case anyone might be wondering what the Dills and Archers are up to now, we are adjusting to a new lifestyle, job changes, new responsibilities, a major change in schedule and learning what it's like to get involved at school, church and a little bit in our community. Many of you who will go the extra mile to visit this BLOG and see what's up with Living Sacrifice are the ones we miss...our friends who also sing that we've shared many platforms with, friends we've met all over the world, our family who we get to see a little more often now, anyone who is lingering around to see if anything continues with the legacy of Living Sacrifice. One of the first things people ask is, "don't you miss it?" We do. We miss our friends, we miss the music that God inspired us to sing and we miss "being" Living Sacrifice. Being Living Sacrifice meant that 4 people and 4 voices were together A LOT....traveling hours and hours each week, eating together, sleeping under the same roof many nights, sharing thoughts, talking about our daily lives, helping each other along our Christian walk, sharing joys and concerns, praying together, singing together and so much more. The Dills miss the Archers and vica versa. So.....on October 25, we set out on a weekend to St. Louis to just "be together". It was awesome. Lisa was in charge of planning the whole weekend this time. She did awesome...it was an adventure. Everything with Lisa is an adventure though...as you know. We ate dinner at Bissell Mansion in STL. It is mystery dinner theatre and quite entertaining. As we entered, we were given a "role" and could involve ourselves as much or as little as we wanted. Of course, it was our first time for this experience, so we just observed a lot. The food was good, but the best part was watching everyday people try to act out this mystery! It's was a great experience! We also went up in the Arch and walked around downtown. We lounged around the hotel in the hot tub and swimming pool. It was great...no schedule to keep or rush to get to the church to sing. We loved it.

One more unique thing about this Christmas is each of our households have "Coming Home For Christmas" playing and we're really enjoying listening. Something about not singing those songs 3-4 times each week brings a desire to hear it more often.

We miss you all.....you know who you are. If you are reading this and haven't checked in with us for a while, please do. Comment on this post with your email address and I'll send our addresses. God bless you all! From our houses to yours, MERRY CHRISTMAS!



This week....we will get together again for a Christmas bash. It's truly funny that we LOVE our times together now and the years we traveled we "needed" time away from each other.
The Dills and the Archers wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
