We’re into our house and my back can tell the difference!

It took us just under 5 months to get back into our place.  It really looks beautiful and not even a slight smoke smell!  If I NEVER smell smoke again it’ll be too soon.

Yesterday, I did my briefings with my two teams in town:  Broadus Baptist Church, VA and FBC Powell, TN.  They are both great teams and doing a terrific job.


After I got all the teams started, I went back to the mission house to move the rest of our stuff out and give the house a thorough cleaning.  I think it really looks nice.  It was such a blessing to be able to stay there as a whole family!  The timing really was perfect as our house was finished just as we needed to move out.

We all slept in the Pitty Pat Court house.  Kathy on some old mattresses that her mom had and Jesse and I on air mattresses.  I talked to the insurance guy a second ago and he made it sound like we’d be able to get the new beds soon.  PTL!

This morning I went over to Walmart to pick up some filters for our AC units and some odds and end for the missions.

I took Miles and Bill Hickey out for lunch.  They’re working on the exterior of our house.  It was due a cleaning and needed to be resealed.  I did the house by myself last time.  Miles and Bill need the money so I decided to hire them to help instead.

Ashley is still in Texas. 

My niece Olivia got married on my birthday–the 12th.  They had a great time! 

Monday Ashley made a presentation to the ladies at my Dad’s church–The Worship Place.  I know she did a terrific job!  Check out the video that Ashley did for fund raising.  http://whirlwindmissions.org/fund_raising.php.

I’m at my office in Doraville now.  I still don’t have internet at my house.  Nor TV.  I’m missing out on the Tour de France and I’m not happy about it.  C’est la vie.

Please keep praying for Jesse.  The doctor changed his meds but he still seems tired all the time.

Also pray for John Miller, the husband of Sandy Miller one of the managers I work with.  He’s in the hospital at Piedmont right now and not doing well.

Love you guys!
