This past Sunday, August 27, 2017 (which was also Lauren’s 18th birthday!), the girls sang “It Is Well” for our afternoon services while Mitchell accompanied them on the piano. This song is one of my favorites and was my dad’s favorite as well, so it was extra special to me that this is the one …
Our church website has been re-modeled! I have been away from my own blog quite a bit the last few weeks. One reason was that all of my free time was being spent re-doing our church’s website. I am certainly not a web designer, or a graphic designer, but after nine years of blogging, I …
I am very excited to share with you that my Bible study on Proverbs 31, “31 Days of Proverbs 31”, has been completely revised and updated and is now ready for print! I wanted to share the first day with you here, to give you an idea of what it’s like. Each day covers one …
This past week, I was hired – yes, HIRED! – by my church to be Terry’s secretary. My duties will include typing, filing, organizing, mailing, filling orders for The Watchman, printing the church bulletin and anything else my man needs me to do. I have been praying for God to send Terry a secretary. For …
The old saying is trite, but true: better late than never! Our Bible conference was January 30-February 1, 2015 and I’m just now getting around to posting about it. I began my series on “Verses I Love” on February 1st, and I hated to share more than one post a day. I don’t want to …
This is a very big week for us. This evening, a friend of ours is flying into Oklahoma from Italy to preach for our Bible conference. Bro. Adam Nixon has blessed us through his preaching already, which we have enjoyed listening to online. Bro. Nixon is a friend of a friend and we are thrilled …
I just wanted to share the photos of Terry’s office, now that it’s complete! There are still a few odds and ends to take care of, like adding some more decorations and cleaning up, but this is what it now looks like: The finished shelves! I was laughing so much when I snapped these photos …
Shortly after we moved to Oklahoma last April, our church began working on updating and improving our facilities. They had voted on these renovations before we arrived, but had not yet begun the work. I thought I’d share a few photos of the new digs: This our new ADA bathroom (Americans with Disabilities Act). It …
Some of our dearest friends are missionaries. We were blessed to cross paths with three in recent weeks. Bro. and Mrs. Dan Vaughn, and two of their children, were with us in January. They were in our area for the church planter’s conference in OKC, so they dropped by. I’m so glad they did! We …
I wanted to share that my husband and our church were featured in the “Religion” section of our newspaper, The Lawton Constitution! My husband has never sought the spotlight for himself, and I’m really glad he doesn’t! He gives the glory to God for all things, because we know everything we have is given by God’s …
