We recently had a visit from our long lost friend - Eric Ruppel. Our first contact with Eric and the rest of the Ruppel clan was for sure a divine encounter....and it still continues to be one. How else would you describe randomly meeting a family from Kentucky while sitting in a small synagogue in the middle of eastern Europe during a classical guitar concert? And then finding out that they have been attending a Bible study that meets in your home while you were away in China for 7 weeks? Since then we have had many Ruppel Encounters - all of them fun, eclectic, and in general a big blessing. Anyways, the boys loved being crazy & silly with Eric over the weekend.
