Catching UP






I keep wishing that I could post pictures of the various documents I work on for Shepherd's Staff. I would love to share with you the poster for the Beth Moore simulcast that I'm working on this afternoon...or show you some of the recent brochures that I've done. I think it would give you a better idea of what it is that we do here. But so far I haven't figured that out, so you'll have to be happy with these new family pictures we had taken recently.

When I started this blog I wanted to give readers a more regular glance into our life: both ministry and family. Seems like I haven't done well on the "regular" part or the family part. So today, I'm going to share with you where our family is.

Nattie is 4 1/2 now and loves life. She always wants to be a part of what the older two kids are doing and had a great time being the youngest "camper" at Creative Arts Camp. Jesalynn is 7 and loves to direct her siblings and friends in various performances around the house. As I type this, she is setting up a puppet and streamer event in our living room. Tyson will turn 9 on Friday. He's losing teeth and loves to read. He has also discovered the joy of helping his Dad with various projects, both at home and around Shepherd's Staff.

I have been doing a lot of publicity work for upcoming events at Shepherd's Staff. It's also nice to have a break from school and so I've been trying to get some long-neglected projects done. Tim built a need "kid wash" out of pvc for Tyson's birthday and is trying hard to keep our garden alive. We both look forward to fresh produce later this summer!

So that's a little about us...next time I'll try to catch up with what's going on at Shepherd's Staff.

Summertime...

I think summer has finally arrived in Rexford. We've had a delightful spring, with cool weather and rain, but today was hot, humid, and heavy. Summer in Kansas...

I'm not even sure where to start in trying to catch up with news. Family-wise, things are a little slower right now. School and AWANA and other activities have finished, we already have VBS behind us, and the summer seems quiet. Work-wise, though, we're gearing up for Creative Arts Camp, the Village Missions conference, and a few assorted events--and looking towards August when things will start to build momentum again.

Would you pray for us over the next couple of weeks, that God would really guide us in the path He has set out for us? It's hard sometimes to be sure that we are following Him and not just chasing our own desires.

Thanks...and we'll be sharing with you about Creative Arts Camp soon.
