Calvary is going through a time of Spiritual transition. After being there for almost a year, I am beginning to earn the title "Pastor."
Mom is married to Wayne Glidewell. He reigns in her money-spending habits while she regulates his diabetes. She seems happy so I am happy for her.
Amanda is waiting on baby Jalla... a nice or nephew I will love from a distance.

I am reaping a harvest that was planted by others as five people have come to Christ, four in the last week.

Hi.

Ellie's eyes were cold.

Snot white.

Hope she doesn't sit in the drum to potty train.

I think she is Gorgeous!

FUN IN A BASKET

LET ME OUT OF HERE

 ELLIE IS SUCH A SNOB SQUEEZING ALLIE BEHIND A DOOR  THAT FLOOR BEHIND HER SPELLS DIRTY WORDS, WE GAVE IT AWAY SHE'S GOT BETTY DAVIS EYES WE WERE RIDING ON A GATOR WHEN I TOOK THIS. ALLIE PUT THE CROWN ON ELLIE MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Opportunities

Jodie and I have applied to work for Samaritan's Purse. If we get a job with them, we could move to any part of the country. Pray that God's will will be done.

Allie is hilarious. She told me "no mam" the other night. She must hear that a lot.

Ellie is too short to walk so well. She turns one on Tuesday, November 20. She has been walking for almost three months.

We are in a time of transition. I visited a church in view of an associate pastor position. The small country church should not have even had a screen. They showed a video of Samaritan's Purse Christmas Child. Jodie and I said nothing about it until we were sure we were not taking the church position. We had much compassion for the children in the video. Within a week, after praying, we began the application process. We love children so much. Please pray that if God wants us to work for this organization, that all will go well. (moving, school, the girls, leaving our jobs, leaving our church, leaving our friends, etc).

HOW CAN I PRAY FOR YOU?
