Welcome to Our Blog

Admittedly, we're new to the world of blogging, but because of our impending move, we were encouraged, well...forced, by our family to step into the 21st century in a way that would keep everyone up to date on all the gory details of our lives. It should be an interesting trip. Our stay of 3 years at New Life in Oak Grove, MO has been great, but we're excited about the new opportunity God has given us to be a part of something new and happening at The Oaks Fellowship in Red Oak, TX.

As often happens, God has chosen to move us at an interesting time. The housing market is downright pitiful, which causes me no small amount of anxiety concerning the sale of our house. I'll be moving to Texas before Lynette and the kids, so pray that it sells fast so we can be together ASAP. I realize that this just provides God one more opportunity to show himself faithful by selling our house for top dollar in a bad market. You'll want to watch this blog for updates on that process and see what kind of miracle God has up his sleeve...it should be interesting.

Well, that's all for now. It's just about time to go to the town July 4th celebration with the fam. We'll see if one or both of the kids is freaked out by the fireworks or if they've matured to the point of actually watching them without crying. Until next time...

So good to have you all home for the 4th - even if Brant was not the least bit impressed with the fireworks. At least he had his Grampy to console him!!

We're excited to see what God is going to do in your lives and home.

We are so excited for you, John and Lynette. And we know that God will work everything together for your good. He moves mountains, and He can "move" houses--even in a weak housing market. So, no anxiety now, ya hear?
