new grandson

Hello everyone! WOW! I have been so remiss in blogging. I haven't written in three months. Since that time we have had youth camp. It still amazes me that GOd would be so gracious to show up and meet with us. He has really done a work in some of our youth...in particular, some of our young men. IT is a blessing to see them allow God to work and to desire His will. I will try to post a pic or two of camp...not sure if I have any batteries left to open my camera up.

In October, we had our annual missions conference. Our church has raised their pledge for missions this year considerably. What a blessing. A young lady at our church has just finished a "thermometer" so that we can see the progress of the promised money s it comes in. It is exciting to give to the Lord!

Several ladies are planning a trip to the US in a few weeks. We are all excited. Christmas shopping is in the plans...that and just having a good time of fellowship with friends. Doesn't that sound like a blast?! I will try to take some pictures and post them when I get back.

Oh, and last but not least...I have a new grandson. His name is Zane David. He is so precious... a little red head. He was born September 13. He is a very happy baby too! Amber's family is growing so much..and oh!, I almost forgot! Angela and Matt are expecting in July. We will then have six blood grandbabies and three adopted! You'd thind we were old having so many... but no, we are still young and enjoying every one of them tremendously! Better run. Lots to do...as always!

Life is so busy!!

I am preparing camp stuff! For the last two days, my nose has been inthe computer looking up airlines ticket prices and other things. That is how life will be for the next few weeks. Camp is so worth it. The last two years the Lord has met with the teens and we have had GREAT camps. I am eagerly awaiting what the Lord will do this year.
My friend Shelly is in Michigan right now. She gets to see her family and her son that has been in Afghanistan for six months. I am so happy for her. It's funny how you can be so happy for someone and kinds sad at the same time....I miss her. She is my vocalization. She should have been a journalist. She is great at expressing herself and I (on the other hand) am terrible. I am glad the Lord brought her into my life. Not just because she helps me verbalize, but because she and I know each other...and still are great friends-can you imagine that? LOL!
This will be a short entry. I am trying to download pics, but my blog doesn't like the size my computer has them. We will see about fixing that asap. The ext entry will probably be after camp. I will talk to you later.

2010

Well, here we are in the year 2010 already. Where does the time go? I am getting ready to go to Houston in just a few days. While there the three of us-Zach, Mark, and I- will be staying with Matthew and Angela. It will be so nice to see my son again. It has been a year since being with him and his wife. I am looking forward to this trip very much- all except for the flying part.

My goal this year is....to lose weight...duh!! We will see how that turns out. New year resolutions...not fun!!!
