Moving Day is Rapidly Approaching...


Don't forget to pray for our son and his family, Jimmy, Lindsey, Jaxson, Juliet, and Johnny. Jimmy is scheduled to leave for Iraq on November 1. This will be his second tour into harm's way. Thank God for his safety.

If you haven't moved in a while, you need to get some experience at getting ready for a move. So come on over and we will give you some boxes, tape and a marking pen and put you to work!!!! We are working heard to meet the deadline for the arrival of the truck that arrives here on Tuesday.

Hopefully we will get it loaded and on its way by Thursday morning. Glenda and I appreciate the helping hands that have assisted us in packing. Bill, Thelma and Rita Simmons have given several hours to us to help in this process. Really, Glenda and I were so grateful that someone came to help. With the issues that Glenda has had with her back during the past several weeks, I don't think we could have accomplished as much as we have without their volunteering to help.

I will be driving the Motor Home to our new location on Friday of next week, hopefully. Bill has volunteered to help me by driving our car as well so that Glenda will not have to drive through after she has her last lumbar injection. We will return by Sunday evening. God has been so faithful during these days of transition.

We will miss the people that we have served for the past 3 years and 10 months, but look forward to the new opportunities that God will provide for us. We serve at the calling and pleasure of the Lord. I look forward to the next assignment.


Blessings to each of you!

CARRY ON!

Jimmy Leaving for Iraq

Our son, Jimmy, leaves for Iraq for his second tour on November 1. Glenda and I joined with Tanja's family and Shane in Texas for a family time together last week end. It was a wonderful time of togetherness. I appreciate all who will remember to pray for Jimmy during these next 15 months. And remember to pray for his wife, Lindsey and the young'uns, Jaxson, Juliet, and Johnny! They are elected to remain in Texas while Jimmy is in Iraq.

Glenda and I are proud of our children who are each making strides in thier lives that are good. We are blessed to have such great kids! And speaking of grandchildren, we have 8 currently, and one on the way! Tanja announced that she will be soon having another one to add to the mix! Isn't it wonderful?

Blessings to you!

Carry On

Moving again...

I just wanted to let you know that it is my intent to keep a blog going, but needed to change the blog name since I am not in the location where I used to be! So while I am in the process of relocating, I thought I'd go ahead and get this started as well.

Look for me here from time to time. I hope to update at least once a week.

Carry On!
