Snow!! Snow!! Snow!!

I know you northerners are going to laugh when you see the video, but to one little Florida girl, there was a huge amount of snow!! Mylanie was so excited to see this little bit of snow. She took about 100 pictures of it! I am so thankful for digital cameras!! I chose a few of the best ones for you to see. Mylanie's total impression of snow was "Cold!!" We did have a lot of fun and a few snowball fights. The temperature didn't get out of the teens, so we couldn't stay out for very long. We send a very special "Thank you!" to the Walkers for letting us stay an extra day so we could enjoy the snow and show Mylanie some of my hometown sights! We appreciate you all!!Thanks a lot:)

THANK YOU Pastor Hogle and WGOJ RADIO

I would like to say a special thank to Dr. Hogle for his encouragement and great advice that we received. As well thank you so much for allowing us to participate in a week long radio interview concerning Stillwater with the WGOJ radio audience. God bless you all and once again many thanks.

Our trip - State by State

This sign says welcome to Virginia. Can you see it? Neither could we!! The first half of our trip to PA looked mostly like this.

We missed the Maryland welcome sign, so this will have to do. By the time we got through VA, the rain had stopped and it was sunny. The temperature was in the 30's!!

We made it safely to Pennsylvania without any problems!! We made it to Homer City around 9pm. We stayed the night in the prophet's chamber at Victory Baptist Church. We are VERY thankful for the wonderful heating that the Church had!!!We had a wonderful Sunday morning service with the people at Victory Baptist Church. Then it was on the road again!!

We made it safely to Ohio Sunday afternoon...
And to my home church, South Ridge Baptist Church, Conneaut, Ohio. It was great to be with everyone there and see friends that we haven't seen in a while. The kids have all grown up!! Some of them had to tell me their names again!! All in all it has been a great trip so far! We've enjoyed everything but the cold!!!

PRAISE GOD!!!!

We were very grateful to receive our Incorporation from the State of North Carolina via email. It was even more surprising to receive them on a government holiday. God is truly working, we are now an offical corporation in the state of North Carolina. Our new mailing address is PO Box 924 Benson NC 27504. Please be praying for Lila Hicks and family. Mr. Joes Hicks went home to be with the Lord yesterday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks have been serving God in many capacities for well over 50 years now. We will certainly be going back to Fl for services. Bro. Joe half built my library of Christian books and commentaries and I will never forget the time we spent in Mexico together. Mrs. Hicks has been the office manager for Fellowship Baptist for many wonderful years and we love them very much.

We're Finally Here!!

We arrived in North Carolina safe and sound Monday evening. Many of you know that we rented a house without ever seeing it. We were amazed when we arrived. We are living in an old farmhouse that has been modernized. It has 3 bedrooms, a "parlor", a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a big front porch, and a bathroom (of course!!) We drive down a long dirt lane to get to the house. There are plenty of woods to explore and a fishing pond, which we have already tried out:) The pictures don't really show how nice it is. God never ceases to amaze me. When He calls you to a task, He always provides your needs just a little bit better that what you ever expected!
