Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a very blessed Christmas. This one should be very special for us. I'm sure we will make some lasting memories. Continue to keep us in your prayers.

Thanksgiving is already here?

Man, this year has flown by...   We have so much to be thankful for.  We pray that you will have a great Thanksgiving holiday.  God Bless!

The Ripple Effect

We each have a mission field that God has placed us in.  The people around us at home, work, the park, the grocery store, etc need the love of Christ, too.   This video shows how the people we do know can lead to God's love being shown to people we will never know.

Amy's surgery today

Amy is having her gallbladder taken out this morning at 7:30 AM in ECM Hospital in Florence, AL. Please keep her in your prayers this morning.

UPDATE: Everything went great with Amy's surgery. She is still a little sore, but feeling better each day. Thanks for the prayers!

Where is our focus?

When we worship God, do we really mean it?

Pray for those effected by the tornadoes

Amy has been very busy this past week helping her family in Hackleburg, AL.  Three of her family members completely lost their houses in the tornadoes that came through the South on April 27th.  They are all OK, but the cleanup effort will continue to take a long time. 

My first chance to visit our family in Hackleburg was Mother's Day weekend. It is devastating damage.  It looks like several bombs went off. 

We had some storm damage at our house.  A huge tree fell in our backyard and took out the power lines, our fence, and pulled the power meter off the house.  We have the meter fixed and the power back on now.  You never realize how much you depend on electricity until it is gone.

Continue to keep us in your prayers.

We hope you had a great Easter

Ours was great! We had a great time visiting with our family and some friends, some who we had not seen in a while.  We ate lots of great food, went fishing and rode on the 4-wheelers.  The boys loved that!

This could be the last Easter we get to spend with them for a while.  But, we know it will be for good reason!  Please keep us in your prayers.

What would it look like to get the Bible in your language for the first time?

The Stool

A great way to look at it.  Who has control in your life?

Pray for our friends in Teresopolis, Brazil

Please continue to pray for our friends in Teresopolis, Brazil.  Some of the very places that we visited were effected by the massive mudslides.  It will take the city of Teresopolis a while to recover from this.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

We hope your Christmas holiday was a great one.  We woke up to snow on Christmas morning.  I can't remember the last time that has happened.  Our boys loved it!

We cannot believe that it is 2011 already.  This past year has really flown by.  We pray that each of you will have a very blessed 2011.
