Right after the New Year, our daughter Lydia and her fiancé, Brandon, became engaged and set the date for their wedding on April 19.  In January, Esther began making dresses and gowns for the wedding, carrying her sewing machine to every revival meeting and frequenting all the fabric stores and bridal shops in each town.  All her efforts were not in vain, for the Lord blessed with a beautiful wedding and memorable ceremony. For the many who would liked to have been present but could not, we wanted to share some of the wedding pictures.

Coming into the month of June, we have taken a few days off  to rest; and only preaching the Sundays. We already feel refreshed and looking forward to the days ahead.

The Lord has been truly gracious this year.  More than ever, I have enjoyed preaching and felt a real freedom and hunger in the midst of God's people.  There have been a number saved in the different places we've been and in our own home church.  With the complexity the world is in now, we are all  being made aware whether saved or unsaved that troubled times are ahead for America. We don't know what will unfold tomorrow, but our Heavenly Father is still very much in control. For the believer, there is an arousal of excitement in  hearts because of our redemption drawing nigh.  So, for those who have just gotten into the fold, the Lord Jesus has given an abundance of grace and mercy  to make the journey: the Journey to the House of the Lord!!
