Anderson, IN



We had a wonderful time in Anderson at Faith Holiness Chapel. The congregation there was very welcoming and a great pleasure to sing and preach to. Josiah was a big hit with all the little girls. God helped though out the day and we want to say a big thank you for the invitation.

The church grounds are beautiful. They have about 8 acres with a wonderful playground, barn, picnic shelter and wonderful church. Here are a few pictures to show you what I mean.

My Son, My Son!!!

You have never seen a child with more mischievous looks then my son. He seems to have that cat that just ate the canary look many times throughout the day. Here are a few examples.






Hmmm. With this hammer I can smack daddy on the head or knock dents into the coffee table. Decisions decisions.








It wasn't me. I know it looks like I did it, but would a face this sweet do anything bad?












That mess? That was there when I came in... Honest!












Here kitty kitty... I just want to bite your ear.













I know that's dirt on my face but I don't know how it got there.












I have now learned that I can open drawers. There are so many things that mommy and daddy don't want me to have in here. Let's see how fast they come and get me.

All is well


Everything is OK again. I reunited with Tabby and Josiah last Thursday. We spent the weekend at her parents and then I preached at her home church Sun eve. We have been really busy this week with Camargo Church Camp. I believe things are really going to be busy with filling in for other pastors so that they can take vacation and take care of other business. I will actually be at my home church this weekend but the following weekend we have been asked to go to Anderson,IN and preach at the Bible Holiness Church. All this traveling can really take a toll but we enjoy it.

We have also been enjoying the fruits of our labors from our garden. The tomatoes are finally ripening and the peppers are coming out full force. Soon we will have watermelon and cantaloupe. Yummy! We also have a family reunion coming up the end of this month. Lots of prep goes into it. There are many times 80 or more in attendance. It will be a lot of fun. So if I don't get a chance to post soon please forgive me. I like to do it. But finding the time is difficult.

All Alone



Well, I'm a bachelor again... Just for a few days that is. Tabby and Josiah went to stay with her family for a few days and I will be joining them Thursday evening after work. I can't believe how dependent I have become on my wife. I was always so independent. I love to cook. I use to love at times being alone. Now I come home to an empty house and it's depressing. My wife isn't there cooking dinner. Josiah isn't crawling around the house looking for his next mission of destruction. I can't believe that a person can actually miss the tired whines of a baby, but here I am doing that exact thing. I am glad that Tabby is able to go out and spend time with her family but we usually do everything together. I guess the absence will make the heart grow fonder. I don't know how people who are separated from those that they love for weeks and months at a time do it. It's only been a day!! Pretty pathetic. But I'll be busy and that will help take my mind off things.


I did have the chance this weekend to go and fill in for a pastor in Paris, KY. The pastor of the Bible Holiness Church had to be at a church camp so we were given the opportunity to preach for the people there. What a wonderful bunch they are. Something about Christian people from KY that just makes you like them even more. We had a wonderful service and great fellowship afterward with the King family. What a wonderful meal we were served. We made it back Sunday evening in time for our service in Batavia. Now we have to get ready for the missions service on Wednesday. And this weekend I will be preaching at my wife's home church filling in for their pastor. God sure keeps me busy. But I love it.


Well, I'll try and get on and post more later. For now I'll just be here missing my family. :)
