Get the message!!!!

Today was my final Sunday at Grace while we are in the States this time.
Tomorrow I pick Bob up at the airport in Dayton, then we travel down to Chattanooga, TN, for the SCORE staff meeting. Then we are scheduled to share in a church right outside of Chattanooga in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, on Sunday. The following weekend we travel to Warsaw, IN, to share in the church we attended for years when we lived there. Then on the 18th we fly home.

But this morning's entire service was truly one to remember. Something to recall and cherish when we get back to the Dominican Republic.

Jason, and the worship team, did such a beautiful job! The music, prayer and Scripture was so worshipful, and thus, beautiful! I almost thought it could end right there.

But thankfully, it didn't! Danny's teaching on Revelation 3:14-23 was a continuation of the blessing! How do I put it into words? You have to get the CD, or listen to it online.
What more can I say? If you weren't there, go to the church webpage and "get the message"!!!

Thank you Danny!
Thank you Jason!

Thank you LORD for my church and it's spiritual leaders! Thank you that you have provided Grace with Godly men who seek to serve You and to worship You and to make You known! Thank you that the teaching is centered and founded on Your Word! on Christ!

Narnia...and the NORTH!

Well, we've been here in Greenville for 2 weeks already! Hard to believe!
We've met Yosi! YES! Not only have we met her, but I have had the joy of babysitting 3 times~~1 afternoon for a couple of hours, and 2 full days! What a joy that was! Just in case anyone didn't know...she is adorable and so much fun to play with!

We've been able to see many while at church. So many new faces! What a blessing it has been to worship in our home church for two Sundays (well, one of them was in the park, but that was fun.)

So, right now we are in the final packing for a camping trip! YES! David, Lyndie & Yosi, and Shan, Stephan, Samuel and Shiloh and us are all meeting at a campground near Bradford for tonight. It will be Yosi's first time with Auntie Shan and her cousins.

Then tomorrow about noon, Shan, the kids, and Bob & I head up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for about 9 days of wilderness camping on Lake Superior. She has a tent and we have Glen's pop-up camper.

Campfires, s'mores, walking on big rocks, hiking to a restored lighthouse, playing in Hurricane River, collecting rocks, building sand castles, reading on the beach, playing in the cold waters of Lake Superior, counting falling stars and satellites in the dark night sky. This is where all of us went last year for a week (well, except for Yosi who wasn't born yet).

Then when we return there will be the Darke County Fair, churches to visit and a staff meeting in Chattanooga, TN.

See you all when we return....but for now, it "Narnia and the North!"
