Pat's Birthday Today

Pat is 49 today!

Preaching Sunday Morning

Pastor John is preaching Sunday morning on the AMAZING JESUS and the 7 Mountains!

Joy Turned 16 Years Old

Joy had a birthday! She is Sweet 16 and a delight to her dad. We will celebrate with a party on May 8th with her friends by going to the Sanctus Real concert in Columbus. Some of you know we are personal friends with Dan Gartley, the bass guitar player. Dan grew up in our church. Of all the things she could have chosen this is what she wants to do. She is so looking forward to it.


John rested this weekend and is doing fairly well today. He has another round of chemo in the morning. This weekend he plans to teach class on Saturday at the church. Lord willing I will be preaching on Sunday.

John's Birthday - 4/11/09

Happy Birthday, John!

We Are Home!

Today Is Our 22nd Anniversary

Pat is Home

Pat had a very relaxing cruise with 31 others from Marion Christian Center. She went on a Nature Kayak Tour in Key West, Florida, a Clear Kayak Adventure in Nassau, Bahamas as well as SeaTrek Parasailing and SeaTrek Snorkeling in Cococay, Bahamas.

John had a good week with Stephen and various ones who came to visit him. He said Pat should go away more often so his friends would come visit more. Pat requested a large monthly travel allowance - he is reconsidering his offer ;-).

John is gaining strength and is scheduled to have surgery on November 11th.

Pastor John Home

Pastor John and Stephen had a great trip ministering with Rayons in our sister church in St. Joseph, Michigan last weekend. It was a safe, relaxing and fruitful trip.

Mom is back.

Hey this is Joy. Mom is safely back home. She caught an early flight back. We all are very glad she made it back. Thank You all for your prayers.

Bright and Sunny today

The weather has cleared and it is a very nice day here today in central Texas. We will finish lowering the storage building to its new spot later today.

I had a very nice reunion with about one third of my classmates attending - I believe there were around 55 there with spouses.

I fly out Monday morning and arrive in Marion in the evening. John says he storm should have cleared Ohio before I arrive.

Pray I have safe travel home. See you all when I get back.
Love, Pat

Day Four

We are staying in a very nice room right on the riverwalk.

Today we had a relaxing day in San Antonio. We walked the Riverwalk and visited the Alamo.

Day Three

Today we visited Abigail's friends from Lifeway, shopped and then traveled west to San Antonio.

Next, we stopped in Sealy to visit Aunt Maggie and see the schools named after her. We had a great visit.

Finally, we arrived at the bed and breakfast by the Riverwalk very late ready to get a good night's sleep.

Day Two

We made it through another successful and fun day! We basically spent the whole day in the car driving from Waco to the Houston area, but the traffic wasn't bad for the most part and the rain held off. Now we are in a new hotel on the northern edge of Houston, and thankfully, it looks like the hurricane is going to miss us. We got a few sprinkles here and there, but the weather is turning out to be great! Bye for now! ~Abigail

We made it!

Hello everyone!

Mom and I made it to Texas safely and had a very enjoyable first day. After we got some great food at Olive Garden, we headed over to the Dallas Ft. Worth National Cemetery to see my grandfather's grave. Military cemeteries are an amazing sight to see, sad, but amazing nevertheless.














From there we continued on to West were Mom grew up and toured the city to see how has changed and stopped by the "Westfest" which is a lot like a smaller version of the Popcorn Festival. We saw some Czech and Ukranian dancers- they were awesome! It is cool to see that their heritage continues to be passed through the generations. It was a beautiful day, and we were able to enjoy our first Texas sunset. We then headed to the hotel to rest after our loooooonnnnng day of travel and fun.

God Bless!
Abigail
