keep in mind

Just a reminder that some of my posts are currently written in a Word document and then copied into my blog at a later time so that I’m spared extra time tying up the phone line on the internet.  For this reason, some of my posts will not exactly match the date stamp it says [...]

Thriving at Peter’s Creek

I am so pleased to say how well Caleb and Luke (and Elijah too I guess) are doing at the Peter’s Creek house.  For the first time in my adult life, we have a yard with fully mature trees, with all the pine cones and sticks that come along with that.  Caleb, in particular, really [...]

Raising Boys

As is customary on Wednesday nights at Union Grove, the children were playing in the fellowship hall on the stage during the mealtime.  After prayer meeting, we hung out with some people for a while so the boys ended up playing around for a little while longer.  This is where this blog post picks up.

Worshipping with our Church Family

Last night we had the opportunity to worship with our home church family at Union Grove.  At 6pm, we had our Wednesday night meal (this week was fried chicken) and then at 7pm we had prayer meeting.  Steve led it and did an AWESOME job!  He was energetic while still having some really profound things [...]

A Great Church!

Jenny, the boys and I had a marvelous time visiting with Tony and Edie this past weekend!  In fact, we stayed an extra day so that we could go to church with them on Sunday Night and spend a bit more time with them before heading back to NC on Monday after lunch.
Thank you to [...]

A slow morning

Tony and Edie had a VBS meeting at church this morning and the rest of us are going into the day a bit more slowly. While we’ve been up for a while, Jen has just gotten the boys dressed for the day. Josh (Tony and Edie’s son) is playing his guitar and Kristen [...]

Gone Fishing

Tony and I went fishing today and caught a combined 5 bass.  I also got to catch my very first smallmouth bass, about 2 to 2 and a half lbs.  The boys also got to take a quick ride and they both loved it.  Jen too.  Tony’s boat is really nice… and fast!

Devotional Book Recommendation

For the month of April, I have been reading a devotional book called Voices of the Faithful by Beth Moore and friends.  It is the first devotional book I have read in sometime.  For the last few years I have only read my Bible during my QT.  In fact, the last devotional book I read [...]

Preparations

I can honestly say that getting ready to go on the mission field is a difficult task.  I truly thought the worst of the prep was behind us once we had sold our furniture and our house.  I have definitely learned that “the little stuff” is actually more time consuming than selling the house and [...]
