On the Move

Taking a stroll on the beach

Hanging out in the back yard

• Olive is growing up. Just recently she took her first steps--pretty amazing. She got her ears pierced. I'm told she only cried for like 20 seconds; she is a tough cookie. But the most significant thing that Olive accomplished this summer was saying, "Dada."
• We have been laboring away on our new place; just a couple of projects to finish up before winter weather rolls in.
• Kelsey has started working part-time selling Mary Kay make-up. So far, so good. I think she'll do great.
• The church is doing well. God is faithful. I think we have positioned ourselves to maximize our effectiveness this fall. It's an honor to serve the Lord's church. Keep praying.
• We took a trip to Newport, Oregon (on the coast). We stayed for 5 days! It was a great getaway. What made it especially memorable for us was the generosity that was showed to us by a group of guys at Gresham Bible Church. They paid for the entire trip! Our lodging, food, and even our gas was covered by their gift to us. There are some incredible men of God at GBC.

Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a while. I will make an effort to do better.
