Morning Glow

This is what it was like this morning around 6:30am. A view from my back door. I really don't like the fact that I have cleared land in my backyard until I get views like this. It reminds me of Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world, Gods invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. :o)

Pond starts to hold some water

In October we had the broken dam fixed and created a walking path around the pond. It has been raining regularly for the past two months. We are hoping it will be full this year. The dogs really love to play and we like to play in it too.Julia found this clump of frog eggs. I am not sure the tadpoles will survive the winter but I am sure we will find out soon enough.

Kenya, Africa Mission Trip

Click on the link above to read more email and information on the Kenya Trip

Through the years, our church has sponsored short term missions to Kenya, Africa. A few of our church members and other volunteers go to Kenya to build churches and much needed school classrooms. Even though I would admire and support their acts of faith and service, it never crossed my mind that I might go. As usual God works in mysterious ways, and Michael, my 14 yr old son, was touched by the church’s efforts. He asked Beth and I if he could go on the next trip in 2008. Amazed by his conviction and unable to deny his calling, we cautiously agreed to let him go if he and I could raise support and go together.

8 Days of Hope Waveland, MS

Michael and I went down to Waveland, MS to help out with reconstruction from the Hurricane damage 2 1/2 years ago from the storms Katrina and Rita. We went with a group from the Vet school.

We volunteered to help a family hang some drywall in their home.

They are still living out of a FEMA trailer.
