The Arbor

From our daughter in West Texas:

This is a picture from our back yard. Rob built this arbor last year out of wood from an old swingset that someone threw out. The morning glories have just been amazing during this fall weather!

Another Busy Week!

Neat things have been going on around here...

Friends Steve and Cathy came for a visit.

They are in from the

United Arab Emirates.

While they furlough they'll be staff missionaries at

Union College in Tennessee.

It was great the see them.

Our choir has started working on music

for Christmas.

I love the holidays!

I usually load Christmas CDs in the car

in October, and no,

I don't get tired of them.

We had great services at the

county jail last night.

A full house!

I had the opportunity to speak to the

Fellowship of Christian Athletes

on our campus this morning about

prison ministry.

I'd say there were close to

50 faculty and students.

They plan to be involved in a couple of our

Seed Sowers projects this fall.

A real blessing!
