We've been very busy these last couple of weeks. In and out, coming and going... and we have truly enjoyed every minute.
It is what our Father has assigned us to and we are following to the best of our abilities. Each Sunday (some times more) we are in a different city, at a different church, with different pastors, and different people.
Each church is unique; and we fit in to this uniqueness as the Holy Spirit guides us and as the pastor asks us. The only agenda we arrive with is 'how can we be of help and encouragement to you'.
It's our joy to come and serve; be of help; get to know the pastor and their spouse; and interact with the people. Whether it's in a church service, Sunday school class, a seminar Bill is teaching, or an event I might be asked to speak at--we become a part of their church family...it's a great connection this family of God!!!
Our next assignment will be truly unique. We are going to be at a church in Illinois from a Sunday to a Sunday! A full week, plus! I know it'll be great!
Also coming up will be our next missions trip to Cebu City, Philippines. We'll be leaving the end of November for a two-week trip.
I'll let you know how our ministry in Illinois is going and later more about our trip to Cebu City.
Where in the world are we?
With this blog I hope to communicate where we are and the opportunities we have had in traveling across America and around the world.

Been kind of quiet...
A quick, little post today.
We've enjoyed some down time from traveling to preach; though it's hard not to want to minister on Sunday! We've had some family time, couple time, and friend's time, too.
Last weekend we were blessed to be with my family: Mom; sister, brother, nephew, and their families. It was wonderful. To be able to attend church with Mom was a true gift.
Also, like other years we've combined our birthday's, anniversary, and even Christmas gifts, to enjoy a meal and show at our local Fireside Dinner Theater. It was fabulous! Check it out online...
Tomorrow we hope to spend sometime with our youngest son and his family and then to go to our oldest grandson's football game. We saw his JV game on Tuesday...he did great!
You know a woman of a certain age truly enjoys these gathering times...being with our kids and their families; seeing my siblings and Mom, and mostly being with my best friend this side of heaven.
