Blessings


This weekend has been great - first of all Mark and his friend Dane came down from Lafayette for all day Saturday and went to church with us this morning. It was so good to see them - we haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with Mark since he got done with training since he is still living up in Indiana. He starts a new job Monday as a med tech at the hospital in Logansport.

Then the preaching today was awesome. Pastor was talking tonight about how we are about to have missions conference and how there is "head preaching" and "heart preaching" and it is preferable to have both. We need to be touched in the heart - knowledge itself doesn't help much. We are excited about missions conference Wednesday through Saturday with a diffeent missionary every night and a keynote speaker as well as an international banquet on Saturday evening. The goal is to commit to support several more missionaries this year. And to see if the Lord wants to call any of our people into mission work, which is so needed.

God has helped all of us in our family to make decisions for Him lately in different areas - Libby even asked me to go to the altar tonight and pray with her that she would not be talking in school and would do what the teacher wants her to do. God is working in our midst in many ways and it is exciting!

Hope you had a good Lord's day. Here is a pic we took today.

Hey! I liked your comment on Def Jef's blog. It sounds like you guys have everything under control! I could totally hear your voice explaining all that to me... it made me smile! It's funny--most of the time, people are missed for a while and then fade into memory--but I think our school misses you guys even more as time progresses!! Your names come up in all kinds of interesting conversations! :) Anyway...I pray for you!

Brenda,
I didn't know you were a blogger...very progressive. I enjoyed reading your entries. I don't have a computer at home and can only get on over lunch at my workplace's library. I came across your site via DefJeff. Love the family photo. Wish I could have met Mark. I know how much everyone misses you...but we are so blessed and happy to have you down South with us! ~JAX~
