Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

I have a diverse background, having spent over 30 years living and ministering in a small South American country. Now my family resides in a small town in the lovely state of Tennessee.

Happy Mother's Day!

I wanted to wish each of you Mother's out there a very Happy Mother's Day! I pray that you had a wonderful day.

Yesterday was our "Tarde de Damas", (Ladies Afternoon). It was like a "Tea" minus the hot tea. We had about 40 ladies attend. It was a very nice time for all. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

This morning, we aren't sure how many Mother's we had present in church, but know there were over 30. We had a great service, which included a time of recognizing all the Mother's present, a special Baby Dedication, and at the end of the service we took pictures of each of the Mother's with their families. We had some visitors, which was very special. Carmen's husband attended today. She has been praying for his salvation for years, and that he would come to church with her since we started...what a blessing to see him there today. He didn't accept Christ, but we know he heard a very clear message of salvation. Wilda also got her two kids that are still living at home to attend the service today also. That was a victory as they have been trying to get them there for quiet awhile too.

I enjoyed the Day with Tony and Teddy. I missed the girls, but am thankful that each one of them loves the Lord and is serving Him in the place where he has placed them now. My Mom and Dad were in Springfield today and spent the afternoon, with Ashley, Shane, Lexi and Jonathan, so that was very special too. Mike cooked dinner for Mandie today, and I heard it was very good! :-)

I am going to post some pictures from our special event yesterday. I hope you will enjoy them!

I have a very special prayer request this week. We have a very special friend, Zac Smith, who just underwent major Cancer Surgery yesterday. Zac is the son of our very dear friends, Jim and Sharon Smith who were missionaries in Quito for many years. Please pray for Zac. Pray for his wife Mandy and their children. Pray for Jim and Sharon, and for Zac's sister Stacey. Thank you!

Have a wonderful week. I pray that it is full of joy and blessings!
Joy
