I decided to follow my girls into the world of blogging. I enjoy reading my friends blogs when I have moment, so maybe others will enjoy (or not!)

Today Andy and the girls are enroute to Grand Rapids bringing a team of people to serve our friend, Nancy Goodrich and her daughters, at Horse Haven Ranch Ministries. Wish we were all there. I know it will be a powerful week. Another great friend, Dean VanderMey, is speaking 3 times, challenging the team with the truth of Freedom in Christ. I am praying specifically for my friend Bryan who is there. He is an amazing young man, gifted with brilliance in a life that is less than brilliant.

Last night the team camped out at my sweet friend, Stevie's, house in Franklin, Tennessee. They were sent off this morning with coffee and Egg McMuffins brought in by her husband Darrell! He also covered the team with his sweet prayers. What a great send-off!

Ben and I are here at home doing the basics. I caught up with Ben's school records this morning and am hoping to get some photos downloaded to my computer and then burned onto cds.

I was up late into the night communicating with our family on the road. I prayed them through Monteagle Pass in the middle of the night and waited to hear of their safe arrival around 1:30 am. So I was still sleeping this morning around 10 when "Help Me Howard Hurricane Tree Removal" was knocking on our front door. I didn't get there to have a morning visit with him before he left for his next stop - his loss! My morning appearance is memorable!

Tony Snow's death has impacted our news reports today. Even though it makes me sad, it is so refreshing and comforting to hear the words that are being spoken about his personal faith in Jesus and about his commitment to family in the middle of serving so well in his communication career. The words they are speaking are the ones I will hope are spoken about Andy and me when we head to Heaven.

Hurricane Bertha has headed out to sea and now we are watching a tropical wave that may be taking aim at our coast. Hopefully not...
