It Is OVER!!!

With an early delivery from FedEx this morning, our epic journey around selling a house in Lubbock, TX finally came to an end. I suppose there should be more excitement than I feel right now, however, I am just plain worn out from the process. Yes, there are a few utility bills to clean up and some yard work yet to be billed for, other than that it is over!

What Alice and I have celebrated over the past several months, is what God has been teaching us in all of this. That will be something we will always be thankful for and attempt to honor God through lessons learned.

We thank everyone for your prayers and encouragement during these past 15 months.

Now - on another note.... we have some friends form Ohio that are in the midst of a similar experience. David and Cheryl, our former next door neighbors in Galloway, are still working on selling their home. They have already moved in to their new home, so selling the old one is very important. Perhaps you would join us as we pray for them - that God would send just the right buyer for their house.

We talked to Paul the other day. Everyone is doing fine. Trystan had some infection on his toes because his toenails were not coming in properly. They were able to get that resolved and now everything seems to be good. The other boys will be out of school at the end of this week, then the FUN begins!

I hope, from time to time, you drop in on Ben and Heather's blog. She has some wonderful stories and pictures to share. The boys are doing great and always seem to surprise her on a daily basis with their antics. (There's a link to their blog over on the right.)

I have three more devotionals that will soon be published on the web and I am working with our pastor on an article involving mega-churches. The feedback from my writing mentor has been encouraging and she keeps pushing me to do more.

Alice will be working in VBS this year and she is helping out in the nursery at least once a month during morning services. As always, she works hard and long each day - sometimes wondering about the "why" of it all. But God is using her and will continue to use her as a witness in the workplace.

Thanks to everyone who shares our life through this blog. We are grateful for each of you.
