What have we been up to?

Well starting with last Thursday my father was put into the hospital after almost blacking out during a stress test. He had been having some chest pains off and on so his heart doctor recommended a stress test and some other tests. They ran a heart cath on Thursday afternoon late and it came back clear with no blockages, however they still needed to find out why he almost blacked out. So they referred him to a doctor in Memphis, TN and transported him there Friday afternoon. They met with the doctor on Friday at Memphis and he stated that he would probably need to install a defibrillator. They went in on Monday afternoon and installed that device and he came home on Tuesday. He seems to be doing good. They are worried about the hospital bills and the fact that he will not be able to continue working at his current job, but God knows all about it and God will supply the need! Just please say a prayer for them that God give them the peace that only he can. One more thing--when the Doctor in Jonesboro done the heart cath he was amazed to report that the main artery that was clogged 100% in 1999 when he had his heart attach is now only 30% blocked. To God be the GLORY!

This week we began our Youth Week and boy have we had a good time. The services have been absolutely wonderful to say the least! God has surly visited us in a mighty way. Tonight we wind down with a social at Trumann as well as watching "Facing the Giants". I've seen it before, but it's just such a good movie that you can handle watching it time after time. Then Saturday we are having an afternoon at the park with a singing and preaching. It should be a very nice warm day for that. Thankfully no rain is in the forecast. I hope all of you out there have had a great youth week as well. God bless each of you!

Hmm?

I found this article on our local news site and thought it was worth posting.

I know we should take the whole message to the whole world, but we are also to abstain from the very appearance of evil. What are your thoughts?


In other news we are all doing great. We got back home from Youth Convention around 8pm Saturday and we had a good trip there and back. I was worried a little though because Ms. Anna Claire is not a fan of the car seat and the 3 1/2 hours in the car had me worried, but she did great! PRAISE THE LORD.

We had a great convention, but somehow it just didn't seem like the conventions that we used to have. I know that God has not changed, so I wonder what has changed. Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way and if so I guess it is me that has changed. Not that convention wasn't good, but people don't seem to come out as much as they used to for conventions--that goes for all conventions, not just Youth Convention. I know that money is tight and it takes extra money to travel, however have we forgotten that our Lord will take care of us if we will put him first in our life? I just wish that people could get their want to fixed. God will soon be telling Jesus to come get his Bride and I want to be ready to meet him in the air! One of these days we will witness that Meeting in the Air we have been singing about for years! Oh I want to see Him!

Well I guess I've rambled enough. I hope you all have a great week and a Happy Easter. Let us not forget what Jesus has done for us during this Easter Season!
God Bless You All!

Pictures

Well I just thought I would put up a picture of Paydon and Anna Claire. They turned out so great! I have several more I may put on here, but I don't have time to scan them in yet.

Well Youth Convention is TOMORROW! We are hoping for a great out pouring of the Holy Ghost.

Also while I'm here can you all please pray for Anna Claire. As I said in my last post she got her first round of shots on Monday and she now has a snotty nose and it's feeling very well. We leave out tomorrow for the Youth Convention and I want he to be well!

Happy Easter

Just a quick post to put up an Easter picture of the kidos. We are all doing well. Anna Claire got her first round of shots on Monday and although she cried really hard, she did really well after it all was said and done. She hasn't ran any fever although she has gotten a little bit of a snotty nose which I hope is nothing!

Let's see what else has been going on? Well we are getting ready for your Youth Convention this weekend in Russellville and can't wait to see everyone there and are praying for a great Convention---our young people need it and so do our JOY's! Well I guess that is all I have for now. Hope you all have a great Easter!
