Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Spring!

Spring has Sprung!!! We are all happy. It seemed like a long winter.

Easter was this past Sunday. We have a wonderful day. We had a wonderful crowd at church, over 300! We have 13 people from a brand new family in the service! Hoping they will continue to come. We had the children's choir sing, chapel choir sing, Keith and Sharon Waggoner sang and I LOVE to hear them sing. We had a special violin instrumental along with a sound track. It was a wonderful service. Bro. Mowery preached our Easter message. I had invited a couple that I meant once here at church, who live out of town, and they came for the service and home with us for dinner. We had a great time. I fixed spiral ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade rolls, frozen corn, tossed salad. I made deviled eggs and forgot to serve them, hahaha. We had cheesecake for dessert. They want to come more often to our church; they feel at home there, and Greg is seeking God's help for problems in his life. I hope they will attend at least on Sunday mornings! I had gotten to know them better through facebook.

Sunday night we had a singspiration. Missie was in a trio (they sang at the Good Friday service) and they did a wonderful job on "Broken and Spilled Out." What powerful words that song has, and she and the other 2 girls did a terrific job. If yuo would to see them and hear them, go hear and then click on view,

The school was having a car wash on Sat. and got rained out. We are trying to raise money for our high school to go to the International Competition in KY in May. We have a bazzar/bake sale coming in a week or so. I have been crocheting and making cards for that. A table is $20. Thankfully, Junior is off that day, so after I get Preston bathed, I can go over and work the table. Missie will do it when I can't be there.

A girl came to church Sunday that hadn't been there in a while, and Missie befriended her. They swapped cell phone numbers and last night, she asked Missie how to get saved. Missie walked her through the steps and she prayed and Missie was so excited. This girl says Missie is really the only friend that she has. So Missie has a ministry. She feels the awesome responsibility, and is awed by the fact that God used her to help someone get saved!

Preston is out riding that bike on these beautiful days. Last week he flipped the bike, and part of it was laying on him. He couldn't get up. He was yelling for Missie and blowing his horn, but she heard nothing. He was in the alley out behind our house. He was scrapped up in places, but he and bike are ok. He wears a helmet, so that was good. So he is slowing down more now when taking corners.

Junior is working overtime just every other week now. So every other Sat. he has off. We are so thankful for this! It is much easier on him, and we love having him home every other Sat. We are thankful he has a good job now.

So I guess that is all to update for this time!
