Dad and I go back a long way - over 21 years in fact!

We'll all miss you, Dad!
My Dad and best friend went to be with the Lord yesterday.  Where will you go to spend eternity? Will you see him up there?

I'll try to post more later. God bless all of our friends and family for their love and prayers.

Here are a few links:

Blessings Through the Windshield

Verse of the Day: Mark 2:23  "And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day;..."


I had a very enjoyable, blessed time as I drove the one and a half hours home on Sunday. Except for Batavia and a few small villages, my ride takes me through some of the most beautiful, rolling country in New York. I just feasted on the wonders of God's creation and the obedience of man to God's first command, to dress and keep his creation. Here is a glimpse of my experience. These are full-res. photos, so click to see a full-paged view. These are free to download and use, if you wish!

Family Camp 2010




Verse of the Day: Joshua 6:11" ... and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp."

We just had a blessed week at Family Camp.  There wer morningg and evening services, with singing, praying, and lots of preaching.
The hospitalty of the Pawley family, as usual, knew no bounds.  They host the camp and all the services are held in their big pole barn.

I had to work all week, but I wanted to be there for the evening services, at least. Pastor Pawley said I could camp out there, So on Saturday afternoon I drove out. I set up my tent, then helped get the whole place finished up and ready for Sunday.

We had a great Sunday. After three hours of sleep, I got up at 2:30 to go to work. This was not going to work out! The Reynolds' had invited me to stay at their place if I wasn't able to get enough sleep, so as soon as I got back, I packed up and stuffed everything back in the jeep. Then after the service I went to the Reynolds' farm and set up in the shop. It was a little drier than the rainy outdoors:-). Micah Reynolds and Daniel Martin were staying out there too, but I never heard them come in. I was fast asleep. A huge thank-you to the Reynolds family for their generosity and hospitality for the rest of the week. I was able to get a lot more sleep.

Enough ramblin'!. Here's a few pictures.

The food was great, but nothing compared to the spiritual feeding we received that week!
