Yes, our move has been accomplished. We are getting settled in and each day is better than the day before. Today, we unscrewed the kitchen faucet.......the pressure was "sad" to say the least..... But we now have really good water pressure at the kitchen sink. There is a sand problem that will have to be kept in check. Tomorrow I hope Gar will look at the washing machine.....cold water has a problem on that too.
My sister Linda and her husband, Dave, came for a couple of days and brought some of our belongings to make this feel more like home. Things like our couch, coffee table, pictures and so on. I will try to get a photo of our new place so that you have a visual.
Release Time continues to go good. We have larger numbers this year with the younger groups. And each time we have new kids. Which is great!! Our numbers will soon finalize as kids get their permission slips brought in. This week we will again have the K-2 and 3,4,5 groups. Our lesson will be on when The Wise Men Followed the Star.
We have been able to keep our lessons organized with Release Time and JDC and the PMO (at the Youth Ranch)....... Every other week at the JDC, Julie L. takes charge of the lesson and it has been going really good. The kids seem to enjoy a change of pace. We read a passage in the Gospel of Luke.....break into small groups and discuss the passage.
The other exciting thing is that we have been having between 3 to 5 kids stay after each week for prayer requests. Tonight the Lakeview Church had a worship service at the JDC and 3 girls stayed to pray- it was their idea --- they asked if we would pray with them. One of the 3 prayed outloud with the group. Numbers have stayed down at the JDC.....only 10 there this week. ????Is that a good sign -- don't know that for sure.
Winter has arrived here. We are hoping for a warm up this week. However, as of right now we are both saying "i'm COLD"!!.....and there is snow on the ground --- has been off and on ever since Friday evening. That also means that the furnace has been running a lot.....seems way too early for that!
God Bless! Gary and Barb

Saw your new address in the bulletin. So are you closer/farther to where you often need to be? And the move, it was a good thing and necessary? I think I missed something along the way.
Have a good week, think of you often and always challenged by your comments here. Thanks.
