One Year Down, __ to Go!

Wow, one full year of ministry. May 1, 2007, I was driving the big yellow Penske Moving truck we rented and came to Walnut, IA. It's been a tremendous year. It's gone quickly in my estimation, and has been very rewarding.

I'm learning a lot along the way. Like delegation. Sure, there's a lot I could do, but we have people just waiting to be asked to do something. How about discipline, there's much that needs to get done and it all falls on my shoulders, as the Pastor. I'm so thankful for Mindy - the perfect wife. Yeah, she's also an extraordinary mother, as well.

Visiting with people is a necessity, as our people need to know I care - more than just what I know.

I performed 1 wedding, 2 funerals, and 11 baptisms. I've spoken probably 150+ times on Sunday Mornings, Sunday Evenings, Wednesday Nights and other random services. I'm really enjoying serving the Lord full time.

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Paul in Philippians 4:13.

Windy day at the park

We took advantage of the warmer weather last week and
went to the park for the afternoon. Audrey kept saying,
"I'm a pretty princess in the castle!"




Abigail figured out how to suck her thumb.


Daddy tried to go down the slide but discovered he's not
as young (or as small) as he used to be.

Happy Sunday

Here's our beautiful, little, smiling girl!! Have a great day everyone!
Hugs and kisses from all of us.

Dinner at Aunt B's

Audrey pretends she can read...look! She's picked something out.


She kept saying, "I'm thinking." "I'm thinking."


Abigail wants to order from the menu, not yet...
