Pictures of late...

We killed the snake in the lake behind our house with a BB gun...don't worry though, as it wasn't coming after us. It was a copperhead and we aren't sure what it had eaten, but I had to shoot it in the head...it shouldn't have peaked his head out beside the rock!

This is Owen being silly before his program at church.

Below is our view of the sunset from our back porch...beautiful!

Below is a view of a 'moon' from our back porch...ha!

I got to take Andrew to a minor league baseball game here in Jackson.

This is a picture of Marcie, the boys, and I at our social kickoff at The Branch...it was a lot of fun.

New Photos of The Branch/homeschool

The first picture, above, that you see is of the 'Resting Area' that is off your right as you first step foot into The Branch. As you can see, there is a TV we will be putting on the sofa table that has a DVD box sitting on it. With the free wifi and cable, it will be an attractive atmosphere to be in.
The above picture is a gift Nick and Renee gave us for The Branch. This was hand-carved in Africa and they wanted to give it to us as it just so happens to be the theme verse for this Men's Ministry...pretty cool! We will hang it on a wall that is straight ahead when you walk in.

The rest of the pictures below are of my office area, teaching/worship area, and of Easton and Isaac starting homeschool today. Andrew's photo didn't turn out but he started as well.

Love Came Down

The words to this song really pierce my heart as the perfect tune to my walk with my Lord right now. I wanted to share this wonderful song with you guys so that it might bless you as well. Wherever you are on your journey, this song is a great 'reminder' of what it's all about. The lead singer, Brian Johnson, and his wife, Jen Johnson, are the ones singing in this song. Their music has been a blessing to us. Grace and peace to all of our friends and family.

Your Boys Love You Marcie!

Andrew's 7th Birthday!

Update on our time of transition

Let me give you a quick update on our time of transition. First of all, the Lord truly blessed our last two months with Landmark! Our prayers to finish strong and leave with honor and grace were answered. We thank the Lord for getting to serve teens these last 11 to 12 years. Marcie has been more than gracious to let me do this...there is no way I could have done it without her. Youth Ministry is a very challenging - yet rewarding work.

We will be making a couple of trips back and forth to Jackson until our house sells...or we somehow find a place to stay in Jackson until our house sells. We are in the process of getting the building we started leasing just yesterday ready to use for The Branch. Our desire is to start using it by the beginning of April. We will start painting shortly and are asking the Lord to furnish areas we will use for: a resting area to watch T.V. and drink coffee, a teaching/worship area, a prayer room, offices, and a fun area to play pool and ping pong. Letters have been sent out with brochures and I made a brief update on our website. Prayers, items for The Branch, and financial blessings are starting to come in...God is good! God is also leading us to people who have done this before and are still going strong.

We thank you for your prayers of blessings for our family during this time of transition. We love you guys and look forward to being closer to family and starting this new ministry. In the meantime, I am enjoying a little breathing time with the family between ministries. If you have any questions regarding our move or new ministry...call us. I put the link to our website to the right titled, The Branch Ministry.
