My Latest Scribble

It has been a while since my last update but I have been extremely busy. Since my last update I have been to Lubbock and back for a great class on 1 and 2 Kings, to Mesquite on a couple of occasions to check on family, Idabel, Oklahoma for a camp board meeting and am now preparing for my trip to Tulsa next week. All this driving, not to mention my normal stuff, is driving me crazy and wearing me out! I am looking forward to Tulsa next week and cannot wait for the workshop. I am looking forward to seeing all my friends and hearing some great speakers. However, I am disappointed that the Wiginton’s will not be there! Melanie, even though it is not on my diet, I will eat a funnel cake and Philly Cheese steak for you! Love you guys!

My ministry here in Van Alstyne is going great! God continues to bless us with visitors and opportunities to bless this community. This week we have been reaching out to a family who lost their two-year-old son on Sunday. We have been visiting with them, taking them food and lifting them up in prayer. Please remember the family of Michael Church this week. My heart goes out to them during this tremendous loss.

On Sunday I am starting a new Easter series entitled “C.S.I: Cross Scene Investigation.” My plan is to investigate the cross like a crime scene, exploring different aspects surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus. I am really excited about this series, I love preaching about the cross, and pray that it will bless and touch live. We have placed an announcement in the local papers and I am praying that God will bless us with several visitors for the series.

Bonnie and Brennen continue to grow like weeds. Buying clothes is expensive!! Something funny happened this morning as Danna was fixing breakfast. She asked the kids what they wanted for breakfast and Bonnie told her, “I want cereal!” Danna told her, “I’ll get it for you in a second.” Bonnie responded, “That’s okay Mommy, I’m eating your eggs!” I look over and she had moved a chair over to the counter and was standing there eating Danna’s eggs. It was hilarious!! My baby-girl I see myself in her more and more everyday! Maybe she will grow out of it! Please Lord, let her grow out of it!!

Honey, I love you and you are doing great work here in this community. I am so proud of you for putting your faith in God and giving your time to this church here in Van Alstyne. I love you and can't wait to spend time with you in Tulsa. You are the love of my life!!!!

Bonnie cracks me up!! And having your personality isn't such a bad thing :) You are a very funny guy, but you also have a sweet, sensitive and caring soul. She could do much worse than to be like her dad.

I love the concept of the new sermon series. Sounds like a very interesting angle. If y'all happen to tape it, maybe you could send me a copy. Or is it on the web? See you next week. We love you guys!
