A New View from the Valley

I just want to take a minute to thank all of you for reading this blog over the last several years. I don't know how active I am going to be with this blog yet, though I would like to keep it open. One of the main reasons is to allow dialogue with "yourbrother" when he comes back online!

Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

I do want to let you know that I have started a new blog that should be posted on our church website soon. The church website is still being developed so you should see changes over the next month or so.

I hope to see you there,

Too Elderly

I know that there is a lot that has happened since the last time that I wrote. I would like to spend some time and catch everyone up to date, but I know that I won't have the time to do it this week.

1) Last month was my birthday

2) Last month we had the opportunity at church to affirm a second elder. Pastor Dan Herman and his family are joining our church. Pastor Herman will be a vocational elder which should allow him more time to focus on the needs and ministries of the church. Yesterday the girls and I spent the afternoon (along with other families from the church) helping them move in to the parsonage. We praised the Lord for good weather!

I'm sure that you'll all hear more about him, and his family, in the future but I am looking forward to ministry together with him. Thank you all for praying for our church over the last 4 years.
