Well, for an update I would like to thank all the ladies that are making the Christmas stockings for the ladies prison ministry this year and inviting me to help. What a wonderful time we had although I kept breaking the needles on the machines and they still let me keep helping them. It was truly a great blessing for me. I love helping and doing things for the Lord. I think we got 100 done and some ladies still have to turn some in. If i get some pictures I will post them so you can see how pretty they all turned out.

Thank you for all the comments, I never dreamed so many people would be reading this. This post will be plain because I don't have Jenny here helping me. Jenny I need you!!!!!!!

Finalizing Our Presentation Video

It was pretty confusing trying to figure out all the software needed to make our presentation video, so we went whining to Bro. Savage for help. He felt so sorry for us, he had Jenny cook us supper and spent the evening calming us down and making Doug's video. It was a fun evening with tons of laughs. And yes, Lisa, Jenny helped me update my blog! How's it look?! Dan kept editing the video and we heard over and over "Linda" , "Linda"... "Doug" , "Doug" in our Pastor's voice. Kinda funny. A fun time and very productive!

I think Doug's presentation, with everyone's help, especially Dan's will turn out outstanding!

Well, I have finally returned. We have been sooooo busy getting the garage ready inside for our household goods (which we by the way finished just in time ) then finish the outside with sofit and siding. We couldn't have finished it without the help of Doug's brother Gary and wife Carol and his parents.













We also had allot of illness in the family, my dad having a defibrillator and pacemaker put in. He is doing well but still has his good and bad days yet allot better than the way he was. My brother Steve had a hip replacement, doing well & Marsha's (my sister in law ) sister had a knee replacement doing well, Marsha's mom fell and broke her hip and will take time to heal. Also Kerri our nephew's wife who is suffering from C.O.P.D. developed an infection and was hospitalized. Her lungs then hemorrhaged and we about lost her on the 1st of August. After much prayer and a week on the ventilator she is now off the ventilator and is getting out of ICU today. PRAISE GOD and thanks for all your prayers. God is soo good.
We want to thank all of you for your prayers as we are traveling back to West Side.

Our New Home

We have just ordered our new home and truck to pull our home. Its 2,500 sq. ft, three bedroom and two bath. Isn't it amazing what they can do with a few slide outs!!!!!!! Just kidding. But we truly are excited about getting started on our new journey. God is so good to us, it is our honor and privilege to be able to build churches for the Lord. We will be leaving here soon and heading for Illinois to finalize preparation for starting work with the Cornerstone group.

I appreciate all the comments so far. I didn't realize how many people would be reading my blog.........This is kinda fun to do. I know my daughter Lisa & our friend Amanda will be surprised I actually made a posting.
