Happy Thanksgiving!

 I'm thankful today for parents who take a stand for truth even when it means they may face heartaches for it. 

I'm thankful for politicians who are working to try to turn our nation around even as they are vilified. 

I'm thankful for a heritage that believes in fighting to maintain the freedom the Pilgrims came in search of.

I'm thankful for my family and friends. So many have supported me  over the years.

I'm thankful for my church family, and especially the kids I get to work with and teach.

I'm thankful to live in America which is still the freest nation on earth.

A Goodly Heritage

 The start of November has been busy. My parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on November 7, but we held the party on November1. One of my brothers and two of my sisters were able to come. We had a great time emphasizing the goodly heritage my parents have passed down to us. Seven children and 22 grandchildren carry on the tradition of singing and quoting Scripture as families, and all are in church. My dad has been preaching for 48 years. 

Our Christmas play is coming along. We have been practicing every Saturday, and the kids have been  memorizing their parts as well as Luke 2:1-7. Please pray that all of this will come together. Pray also that this will be the key in getting the parents into church.

Please continue to pray for our church. we have many needs for help in various areas. Pray for my dad and  mom as they continue to try to grow the people. Pray for my sister Julie's baby who is to be born in January. The baby has some birth defects including some heart issues which may require surgery. Pray for sister Jacqueline who is also expecting in March. My traveling ministry is still at a stand still, so pray that doors will open there. While I wait, I continue to work with the young people of our church and play the music.
