PRAYER REQUEST !!!!!!!!

I didn't go along to JDC last night --- because of my cold. I am getting better!! that is not the prayer request.

Pastor Tom and Gary went and they were really blessed. Five young people prayed to receive Christ!!!

On the way home Tom and Gary were talking about "follow-up" for all of these young people.....there have been 38 just from JDC alone who have asked Christ into their hearts. YES! Praise God for His goodness and love!

We really need to find a building to have a Bible Study for these young people.....a building located in the right area....... (These young people are spread over many miles...) And so that is our prayer request for now....finding the right building in the right area.

Thank you --- we know you are wonderful supporters and great prayer warriors. God will guide us if we seek His will!

Beautiful Wedding........May 16, 2009

We can't have the wedding pictures without the SHOES!!! they were a VERY important part of the day.....don't ask me HOW they were important --- just know that they were!!!! Yes!.......the groom, the groomsmen, the father of the bride....father of the groom, and the ring bearer.....ALL wore THE SHOES! Thank you Chuck Taylor!!Clayton and Zoie did their part without a glitch!!! They were adorable ....and I think they both knew it too!!

Tim and Marti beamed the whole day and we thank God for another wonderful son-in-law....it was a beautiful day....a slight bit chilly --- well OK it was down right cold once the reception got started.

But there was a tent with heat inside and so we all got warmed up and the dancing started. They had a totally awesome band---- sorry I don't remember the name of the band but they were good. Marti and Tim looked wonderful together (dad and daughter did too) as they danced -- those lessons paid off!
We had a wonderful time while we were "home" (we really don't know where home is at this point). Our whole family was there for the wedding and we got to spend time with all of our grandkids.....especially getting to know the youngest ones - Halle and Sawyer. And shucks - we know they won't remember us when we see them again.......but when we left we were good friends.

We got back in time to have Release Time with the older group and found out that next week we will still be able to meet one more time with the K-4 graders. That's so neat because we really hadn't said good-bye to them for the summer.

We did get back in time to move some cattle....this morning we moved 300 yearlings..... That age has a reputation to be unpredictable......but they behaved themselves very nicely and the move went good. One day soon we will be moving the cow/calf pairs to their pasture also. That is always interesting ...because when those little calves lose mama --- they sometimes turn tail and run back to where they last saw her. Hopefully we won't lose any of them either.

Gary and Pastor Tom will be going to the Juvenile Detention Center tonight. I came back with a NASTY cold!!! And we don't want to pass that on to everyone at the JDC - so I will be staying home this time. Hopefully I will be on top of it by Sunday because Lakeview church is scheduled to have the service at the JDC Sunday evening at 6:00.

It was also great to see all of our supporters and friends at Overisel. Your prayers are so very important to us. Thank You!!!
