Where has the time gone?  I haven’t gotten lost, but the time has not been my own lately.  We just finished Christmas dinner with Bernie’s family.  It’s the first time any of them have been here in a number of years.  We had a really nice visit.  Chip and I left home at 6:00 this morning […]

Oh Wow!  I absolutely am in shock…I made the front page of our local newspaper, and it’s not because I’m in trouble!  This is so amazing, and I am SO humbled, yet so excited!  Check it out if you want to know more. http://www.dnj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2004411210314 Well, I don’t know what could make this day any better.  […]

Wow…what a night!  We celebrated Chip and Erin’s birthdays last night, and I am still worn out.  It was great fun to see so many of you mixing with kids you might not normally hang out with.  That’s something I really admire about Chip–he has friends from so many different areas, and he isn’t worried […]

OK, so I’ve let time get by me since I last updated.  Life is like that sometimes, though.  The Youth Group, CIA, went to Smyrna First Pres. for Citieswide Worship–it was really awesome!  One of the guys from Shelbyville talked about how he had been going to a Bible Study in their town that was interdenominational.  […]

Turn up the volume so you get in the spirit… I felt like this should be red, white, and blue since I am watching the election results come in here in the middle of the night.  Why, in this day and age, are the so many problems with the election process?  I am amazed that […]

Boo!  It’s Halloween and what a fun night we’ve had!  Chip and Brad went to the youth group hayride and bonfire for a bit and then headed over to Breckenridge to hang out with some of their friends.  What is your opinion on PDA?  You know what I’m talking about, don’t you?  How does it […]

How I do believe!  I believe that God is faithful to His promises and to His Word.  What was written years ago still holds true for us today.  Patience is what God requires of us, next only to obedience, I might add.  For thirteen years we have waited, not always so patiently, for God to […]

God, you are greater than I am, and you are greater than any obstacle we face.  Will you help me this week to rest in that as I do my best to accomplish all that has been set before me?  Thank you, and in Jesus’ name, amen. So, it is a rainy Monday, and I […]

What a night!  It was an amazing performance by each band–the competition was huge!  Siegel won!  We took first place overall in the large bands, as well as first in color guard and field commander…Allison does a great job!  It was so disappointing that the percussion did not get an extra award, though they earned […]
