Lot's of Life Changes...

It's been literally forever since I posted on this blog.  But I'm just in the mood so here goes.  We've made lot's of life changes since I last wrote anything.  Ministry changes, moves, etc.
Have lived in Branson (Hollister), Mo for over a year and a half now.  It's been good, challenging, sometimes difficult, but a season that we'll look back on and know that God had a reason.  We've started a new ministry called "Blessed to Bless" that encourages and hopefully blesses those doing ministry.  We've had nearly 60 different individuals, couples and groups that we've been able to hopefully bless in some way.  Gifts, offerings, entertainment, accomodations, etc.  It's been really rewarding.  We've also helped start a service here in Branson.  And now we travel many weekends preaching in churches that we've always wanted to go to.  (Lot's of friends)  It's been a different way of doing ministry than what we've done the past 30 years, but we've enjoyed it.  The only challenge we've had was working secular jobs to make a living.  But God has helped us with that too.  I'll blog about my three sons and what their lives are about now at a later date.  I'll just end by saying that we're ready for whatever God has ahead for us.  We trust Him and know that He knows what we can't begin too..
