Another full week of blessings

It was a week of blessings. I taught a D.Min. course (8 to 5 plus two evenings); pictured below. We had a staff meeting. I went to three community meetings. We had a revival (Frday night through tonight). Our evangelist, Tim Staier, is pictured below with his wife Krystal (center) and sister Tabitha. It was a wonderful series of meetings.

Life is full

I wanted to post a photo of Larry McQueen. He stayed with us last week while he was in town doing research for his Ph.D. I took the picture, but the memory card was not in the camera.

Last Saturday we had a "Love Feast" at the church. It was a great time outside in the early fall weather. A picture is below. We also kicked off our new Parish Nurse program with a blood pressure screening clinic.

The kitchen drain at the church was clogged last weekend. It took about a half gallon of acid and plunging the floor drain to unstop it after church Sunday evening. Oh the glory of pastoral ministry.

Cheryl preached last Sunday. Members of The Women's Round Table from Lee University visited with us and we went out to lunch with them. It was refreshing to hear these young women testify of their call to ministry.

We were on fall break Monday and Tuesday. I worked on the fence twelve hours each day. I'm having to clear a lot of fallen trees in the process. I also put in a few evening hours Wednesday and Thursday. I'll be working on it tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be able to let the Dexters out into the rest of my pasture and woods tomorrow. They will eat the undergrowth.

Next week I'll teach a Doctor of Ministry class 8 to 5.

By the way, Cheryl has been in Indiana all week. She was a guest lecturer at the Menonite Seminary there. They have a great interest in Pentecostalism. Several of the faculty are friends of ours. She is spending the weekend with Karisa and Johnmark in Wheaton.

Down on the Farm

Alethea, Justin, Camdyn & Charlie came for a visit this weekend. Charlie loves the animals almost as much as Camdyn. Pride especially likes little children. He comes up to them and nudges gently until they pet him.
