Sold!

Due to a change in schedule at the lawyer’s office, the closing on our house was actually yesterday afternoon!  We are so thankful that God saw fit to allow us to move the house so quickly!  We’re also very thankful that the people who bought the house seem to be the type who will be [...]

A little sad

Let me start by saying I am extremely excited about the work God has called us to do. That said, there are definitely some sad elements as well. Saying good-bye to family and friends, leaving a church family that we love, selling our house, etc. This week, in preparation for closing on [...]

Checking In

Our meeting with the medical department ended a few minutes early, and thanks to Wi-fi, I was able to jump online for a few minutes and post before we head to lunch.
We have one more meeting today and then we have a bit of time before we load the buses at 5:15 to head to [...]

Monday

Things are still going well here in Memphis.  Elijah had a better day (less crying)- Praise God!!  We had dinner with the staff and trustees.  I especially enjoyed visiting with Tom Elliff over dinner- what an experience!  Thanks for your continued prayers.  God bless.
