Alive!

John 14:19 – Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

Enough said, don't you think?

Thank you Lord for being crucified and buried but most of all for returning with the key s to death, hell and the grave in your hands! Let us never forget to share this gift with everyone we come into contact with.

Stillness.....


I meet you in the stillness of your soul. It is there that I seek to commune with you. A person who is open to My Presence is exceedingly precious to Me. My eyes search to and fro throughout the earth, looking for one whose heart is seeking Me. I see you trying to find Me; our mutual search results in joyful fulfillment. Stillness of soul is increasingly rare in this world addicted to speed and noise. I am pleased with your desire to create a quiet space where you and I can meet. Don't be discouraged by the difficulty of achieving this goal. I monitor all your efforts and am blessed by each of your attempts to seek My face!

Pretzels!






The pretzel dates back to 600 A.D. and was first made my the monks who used it as a reward for the children who learned their prayers. It is a sign of love and forgiveness! The design came from the children's arms as they were folded and crossed as they prayed. Sam and Zach loved the story of the pretzel, loved making the mess all over momma's kitchen, but most of all the loved eating up these delicious home made goodies!

Kentucky Mountain Bible College

I had only my second solo trip so far. Well, sort of. My dad came along to keep me company on the five-hour ride to Kentucky. It was a great trip. The students and staff at KMBC made both of us feel so welcome to their beautiful campus. We had plenty of time to meet and fellowship with many of them during dinner on Thursday and then breakfast and lunch on Friday. I did realize Thursday night that I am too old to still be playing full court basketball with college guys!

I was blessed to have the opportunity to share our calling with them during Chapel on Friday morning. What a great bunch of students – it's so exciting to see so many young people on fire for God! They were very responsive and even closed the service by praying over our family and our ministry. Thanks again to Russ Frazier for arranging the visit and to everyone else as well for making my dad and me feel welcome!
