Well That Was Different

Snakes and Motorcycles do not mix. But they did tonight. I was coming home from the Police Acadamy Graduation just at dark and as I turned into my drive way here was a two foot long copperhead just kind of laying there catching a little warmth out of the asphalt. You know I sort of thought twice but I was pretty sure from the way he looked that it was a copperhead and I do not want a poison snake hanging out at my mailbox. So I went for it and ran over the geester. I then backed up and ran over him again....This would be a lot eaiser in a truck. I went to the house and got the truck because I did not want to put a snake in the saddlebag; I picked up a shovel also then went back and the rascal was crawling away but with the help of a shovel I gave a quick whack and threw him in the back of the truck.  I am not sure I will try that again. But there he is streched out in the garage behind my bike. RIP

Not A Christian Nation?

Mr President you can say it .....but it is not true. We are a Judeo Christian Nation. That is what we were founded on and it is still true. We are free people so we allow Buddhist, Hindus, Humanist, and atheist to live and proclaim their deceptions freely but this is not what the USA was founded on nor what the majority believes. This video is worth a moment of your time.

One Of Life's Great Moments

Few in life have the privilige of doing the things I have been allowed to do. The picture of course is the wedding of Brian and Bethany,  my son and new daughter in law as I was leading them in their vows. I have been blessed to perform all three of my sons weddings. What a joy. AS we gathered last night as a family and they all came over for father's day I thanked them all (all my kids were there last night) for letting me have a part. Only our precious daughter Brittany will have a mate to choose. The entire family sons and daughter in laws expressed their concern for Brittany and the fact she will one day find the "right" young man. As long as he loves Jesus all will be well. Thank you God for the great wedding and one of life's great moments last night with all the kids.

The Home God Has Blessed Me With

After several weeks of being very busy and gone from home a lot, I have been blessed to carve out a few days to work on the house, and boy did it need it. I had started in late winter stripping off the rails of the poarch as the paint was in terrible shape and the entire house had a layer of grunge on it. Pressure washer, steel brush, paint brush, and a whole bunch of elbow grease have made a huge difference. Look close and you can tell as the sidewalk has been pressure washed but the driveway has not. What a difference. The house has been a real blessing from God and we are rejoicing that Brian and Bethany are going to come stay with us for a few weeks as they figure out God's next plan in their lives. I still have alot to do to, to finish up the work both inside and out. But even more to do in the work of missions, so if you look at the last window that you can barely see behind the Maple tree that is my office. I seek your prayers as I sit behind that widow at my keybord and try to put in print over the next few weeks some very exciting things God is showing me about Short Term Missions.

How Could I ask for More

I wish for every father to experiance what I did at my son's Bachelor Camp Out this past friday. Brian was married on Sunday in a beautiful ceremony that I had the honor as with my other sons to officiate and join my new daughter Bethany to my son in Holy Matrimony. It was beautiful. But Let me tell you about Friday night. 13 of us gathered to wait and Brian showed up about dark as he had been sent on a scavenger hunt by the best man Grant Kersy to find friends, who had gifts and letters for Brian. When Brian came there was a hot dog roast and lots of jokes and fun for a few minutes but after a while we sat around the fire and talked about Brian. As these young men talked I heard words like, Mentor, Leadership, Example , and Godly, used again and agin. The young men basicly talked about how Brian had impacted their lives. What a joy for a father to hear.
The rehersal dinner was great as the food and fellowship were fantastic and the accolades for Brian contiued but this time there were just as many for Bethany. What a blessing to see two young people who are already impacting peoples lives come together and center their lives on Christ while seeking out what it is God wants them to do. How could a father ask for more. I am blessed.

Great Hospitality by First Baptist Monroe Ohio

We are building up the church with encourgement, prayer, love and construction of a building. What a joy for us as an association to serve the people of the church but I saw the joy in their eyes Sunday as they served us it was a real Baptist Feast.

What a Great Ride

We left out Wednesday and arrived on Thrusday afternoon with 580 miles more on the odometers of our bikes a whole bunch of rain on our rainsuits and big grins on our faces. It was just fun despite the rain from time to time (actually several hours at a time). The photo below was of Me, Kent and Josh Brummeler as we started out on Thrusday. Alan Hooper caught us in KY and we journeyed on through Ky and IN looping back in to Ohio late Thrusday. What a great Ride.

 

Riding up to Ohio

A small group is headed up to Monroe Ohio and this is a first going by way of Motor cycles. Ken Brummeler, Josh Brummeler, Alan Hooper and Scotty Davis are setting out for a little relaxation on the way to the work at the First Baptist Church. The Advance team will start work on Friday with the main team coming in on Saturday night. Pray for the group as they travel today.
