OK.....I know, it's been way to long!

 

The weather is 100 degrees today, whew, it is so hot....and the poor dog is stuck on the deck all day!  We are in desperate need of rain.

The lake is extremely low, we are there just about every weekend regardless.

 

We just finished helping at our church's youth camp last week, and what a blessing it was!  God is so good, we were able to send

3 of our neighborhood kids to camp and one was saved.  Praise the Lord!  Pray with us that their families might start coming with us to church.

 

Another blessing, Bethanne &  I invited our whole neighborhood to church 3 weeks ago and we had 10 people show up..it was so exciting.

It is a joy & encouragement to be able to tell people about the Lord and invite them to church.  We have realy been striving to do our part

in reaching "our Jerusalem" so to speak.  Pray that we would continue to share the good news and be a good testimony to our neighborhood.

 

We recently returned from our summer vacation to Harbor Island, SC.  We spent the week on the beach, and took a few day trips, one to Charleston and one to Hilton Head where we enjoyed sailing on a catamaran for the first time.  It was a welcome and refreshing break.

 

Bethanne started back to school Monday, Aug. 20th, she said she has a great class so far this year.  A really good spirit in the classroom.

She begins basketball in October....she's in for a busy season.

 

I'm so looking forward to fall this year, a break from the heat, I just pray we get the rain we need so that the leaf change will be colorful.

 

We pray all is well with our friends and family!  I pray you will be encouraged to reach "your Jerusalem" with the love of Christ!

Who will you invite to church this Sunday????????????????????????
