God continues to bless this Family richly and in every good thing. I love to watch you respond to life, to the joys and the challenges. The last few weeks have been especially rewarding. Thank you for being a blessing to each other and for being a light in this community for Christ. I believe with all my heart the VERY best days are ahead for this church. Let’s not let satan divide us or detract us and when we are momentarily deterred, let us quickly make things right either in our hearts or between each other and soar forward. We must be better for the sake of the Kingdom than we would otherwise be for there are people in our lives, in our sphere of influence, in our neighborhoods, schools, and places of work who need the Lord and who need to see us living out our profession of faith. Thank you. I am proud of you and love you. The best is yet to be! The best news I’ve heard this week is that Monday night Brian Basham baptized his son, Ethan. WE love Brian and Angie and this dear family and we are overjoyed that Ethan’s decision. I pray he give many, many years for service to the Lord!! I know you will

join me in welcoming him. Summer is here, interns are in place, the mission trip to Virginia started yesterday, camp is around the corner, marriage seminar in a few weeks, and much, more more.
