~Friends~

Friends are very precious things

Sent by God above,

To show how very much He cares

And to express His love.

Friends are made to cherish
And treat with loving care,
To multiply our pleasures
And all our burdens share.


I thank God for your friendship,
It means so much to me;
And may we walk together
Throughout eternity.

Prisons

Hey everybody!!

I'm just going to add a fast post here...since I forgot to bring my camera plug to put the pictures on my computer. (That, and the fact that our internet is VERY slow!!)

We had a slight accident on our way to Alabama, so in between prison crusades we headed down to Florida and repaired/replaced our windshield and put new mirrors on. Now we are good to go :)

Our first service for the Gospel Express prison crusade was tonight. It was good, and I'm looking forward to all the rest. :D

We will be singing in a juvinile prison tomorrow. That seems so sad to me that all these young 15&16 year olds are facing months or years-possibly even lifetime in prison because of things they've done. I can't help but think how if they were only raised in a loving, stable home maybe some of them wouldn't be where they are. Please pray for us this week as we are heading into the different prisons!

Well, that about sums it up for now...I know this isn't very "newsy" but maybe I'll get more time and pictures on later :)

Singing

The steeple of this church alone was much higher than most churches we sing at!

We got to sing for a church benefit last night. While we were there we met up with Jim Eigstie-our good friend and Evangelist for Monday night.

The church was huge! We didn't sing in the sanctuary, but got to take a peak and see it all. It was so beautiful!
There were actually three buildings. The main church, another part, (we didn't see that, so I'm not sure what it was for :p) and the gym/kitchen.

This is the gym, which is where we sang.

Red, white, and blue...

One of my favorites!

Please pray for us. We will be singing the next four nights in different prisons in Alabama. Pray that we will be able to show some light to the prisoners, and others around us. Also for safety :)

Last day of 2007

JaLynns 5th Birthday! She is so excited that shes 5 now! Luanna had to help her hold up the cake because it was 'to heavy' even for a 5 year old.

Hmm, I guess its pretty obvious what happened there!

School time--everybodys favorite!

Duane was surprised to look up and see me standing there with the camera!

This is the last of 2007!

We hope all of you have a wonderful and blessed 2008

Update for the year. Will keep you posted!

Ben instructing in OK

Ben left Friday March 30 to go to Tulsa OK for his first job of flight instructing. Left me hanging up here without me completing my instrument rating. Some people pay better I guess.
