My oldest daughter, Lauren, was saved on June 8 of this year. She had made a profession of faith when she was six, but had doubted it a lot since then. I was so excited that she got it settled during our revival meeting this past summer. We were thrilled and relieved that her doubts …
This past Saturday, our church hosted a little get together to celebrate the autumn season. As Christians, we don’t recognize “Halloween” as a holiday, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get together and enjoy the company of our Christian brothers and sisters – and eat candy. 🙂 We had a great time at the fellowship! …
On September 19, our church celebrated 36 years of Gospel ministry in our town! What a blessing! My husband invited Bro. Austin Missey, the church’s pastor from 1992-2007, to come and preach to us all day. We also had a wonderful meal at church and some great fellowship. Folks came from all around the city …
One of the highlights of December was the privilege of meeting Dr. Shelton Smith. My husband is always looking for ideas and advice from those who have been down the “ministry road” farther than he, and Dr. Shelton Smith certainly has some experience! He is the current editor of the Sword of the Lord newspaper …
Jack Hyles once said that it takes about six months to adjust to a major change in one’s life. I, and my family, have lived in Hope, Arkansas for six months today! I am grateful to the Lord for bringing us to this place. The fact that we have been here for half a year …
I’m sorry I got a little carried away with alliteration in the title. Growing up under a pastor who alliterated everything, it’s a hard habit to break! Thanks for loving me anyway….you do love me, right? RIGHT?? Okay, how ’bout like? Tolerate? Surely one of those fits…whatever you feel for me, thanks for putting up …
Well, friends and neighbors, I am sad to inform you that the Devil was alive and well at our revival meeting this past week. I suppose we should feel honored that he felt he should show up in the first place! Perhaps we are on the verge of seeing God’s hand move in a great …
We are taking a week long break from school this week. Let me say, I need it! I am convinced that when all of my children are school age, my homeschooling life will be easier. Having to educate two children, and keep watch over two toddlers, is taxing, to say the least. If you add …
Hello all! Thanks so much for your patience while I get my new blog up and running. There are still many things up in the air. For one thing, I’m not sure if I like this look, and another more important thing, we’re not sure if we will keep this Internet service. We have 15 …
Here are some photos of the party the church gave us after church: The cake has us on it!! How neat! Some of our people. Yes, that’s my back to you there. I’m stuffing my face. It was hard not to! We had BBQ Brisket (Bristow-style) mashed potatoes, Watergate Salad by Lynn, and the list …
