the joy of family and of His voice

Our family has safely arrived and we've enjoyed two very warm and full days together...I just LOVE Dad and Lisa! And obviously, so does Lily! Yesterday she got to "ride" a motorcycle with her buddy Gideon and Grandpa, and today got to visit some friends with Aunt Lee.




Lisa and Dad have also gotten to spend some good time with me in the classroom, maintaining relationships with students from previous visits and meeting my new first year class. Lisa and I always get abundant comments about being "twins", and my Dad about being such a "beau garcon"...good looking guy! Sharing our lives and work with them is always such a mighty blessing.

Meanwhile, Matt has been enjoying some really powerful moments in Jackson, Mississippi. There have been "Bible people" and godly men and women from around the globe there, taking part in a conference that is a part of their master's studies, and Matt has been feeling the Lord closely...We both praise the Lord for meeting him in such a special way and for the way He is shaping and refining and directing Matt's heart.

Please pray that we might be anxious and determined to be 'worthy of the calling' and have our eyes looking only to hand of our Master...
(1 Thess. 2:12, Ps. 123, Acts 5)

  3. I am glad you are having good family time - Lily's legs are so loooong. She is a real "motorcyle babe".

    Happy things are going so well for Matt.

    Continue to enjoy, praying for you all.

    Love Lori
