Posting Again on January 1, 2007

As you have noticed, my posts have been a bit more sparse as of late. I suppose I have “writer’s block” or something, but I just haven’t felt much like posting as of late. So, I’m gonna take a little break and let this be my last post until January 1. To [...]

The Kids are Back!

Funny. As enjoyable as it was to have a little time alone with Jen, it was great to get the boys back last night. Jen said, and I echoed, how good it felt last night to have both boys tucked snugly in their beds.
As an answer to prayer, yesterday I received word from [...]

NO KIDS!!!

As of the completion of our “Christmas in the Country” program at church last night, Jenny and I are without children until tomorrow evening. Caleb is staying at his maternal grandmother’s house (thanks Kat!) and Luke is staying at his paternal grandparent’s house (thanks Joe Joe and Mac!). I believe both boys will [...]

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Last night we had our regular Wednesday night meal at church (we have it twice a month). Instead of the normal meal, we had a special meal- steak, baked potato, salad bar… and birthday cake!

Have you ever been driving on a paved road and then the conditions of the road changed suddenly, maybe the pavement ended and all that is left [...]

It Really Works!

While visiting with a family at the hospital last week, I learned about at new way to “call information” to get a telephone number you don’t have. I was told there was a FREE information service, all you had to do was listen to an advertisement. Well, I tried it out… and it [...]

Thankful For My Wife

Over the past week or two, my schedule has been rather unpredictable. Throw in a little car trouble, and you have a recipe for frustration. I am so thankful for a wife who is so understanding to the unique demands of the pastorate. It is during times like this that I’m especially [...]

Lily’s Birthday Cake

Jen made this “Horse Cake” for her niece, Lily.

From the Informer

Our WMU director, Norma, wrote the following in her article in our church’s monthly newsletter:
We were very sad to hear our pastor resign on Sunday, November 12th, effective April 8, 2007. But we are also happy to know that he and Jenny have answered God’s call to be career missionaries to Santa Cruz, [...]
