Today is another beautiful day that the Lord has blessed us with. Today, Scott is going up flying! He is finishing up his private pilot license and today is the first day he is going up in a long, long time. He already has over 70 hours but he needs to freshen up on the air time as he is studying his ground school portion. Paul, another MMS'er, is also an instructor and is helping Scott to finish up getting his rating. We are very excited about this. God has provided once again. He is so faithful to complete what He starts.
The boys and I are doing good. Our allergies here are doing their thing. Shaughn and Nathaniel have had it the worst and I am bringing up 3rd place. I do believe it is worse here than in MI. :-)
We are looking forward to our long weekend coming up. We are going camping with our local church and their kids program. I have been asked to be the photographer and am very excited about that. We will be compiling some videos and photographs together for a presentation for Sunday morning. This should be fun. Please pray for good weather.
Scott's mom and step dad came down for a visit last week and that was very fun. This weekend his dad and step mom is coming down for the first time, we are very excited to show them around. They have never seen MMS yet, Scott can't wait to show them.
Hope you are planning a fun holiday weekend too. We would love to hear about it. God bless and take care.

God at work
We are back from vacation and had a great time. We made many memories and had lots of fun.
We started the "tweener's" program at church this week. It went very well. God totally blessed us all by all of the great things He did. We had 43 kids and everyone of them seem to have had a blast. The evening was action packed and Scott gave a great devotional at the end. This was a "kick-off" so it was meant to be fun-filled. Next, we going to cover the armor of God and each week teach on a different part of the armor. We pray that God continues to lead this time and helps the kids to fall into a deeper love relationship with Him. We have some great people to work with and the church is so supportive. It has been a real blessing to be a part of this ministry.
This weekend we are hosting a Prayer Retreat for our Core Prayer Team from MI. We are very excited about this and can't wait to see what the Lord has instore for all of us. We sense it will be a time of refreshing, change and renewal. Everyone seems very excited about it. That only builds the excitement for me. :-)
Matthew has joined the drama team and church and also the Y-US team. That is Youth Using Stick's ministry, sort of like dancing with long sticks to a Christian song. He is also on the new ministry team for the youth's web page and videography. He wants to be the youth's photographer and videographer and help keep the web page updated. Like doing the A.V. and sound board wasn't enough. :-) I love seeing him get so involved. He seems to be finding his nitch and it is fun seeing him become who God has created him to be. Shaughn loves playing the bass and is doing it all the time now instead of switching off. Nathaniel seems to be a born leader and has zero fear. :-) He is very excited about the new "Tweener's" ministry.
We are trying to come up with a name for the Tweeners. Please pray that God will give us a name that they can identify with and that has meaning. This is His ministry and we desire to name it what ever He wishes. :-)
That is about it for now. I am sure there will be more next week. :-) Thank you and come back again soon. We would love to hear from you so please leave a comment or email us if you would like. God bless you all!!

On Vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN
We are here in Pigeon Forge, TN having a blast. We spent two days in Dollywood Theme Park and tonight we are going to the Dixie Stampede. We went to the Smokey's National Park to view Cades Cove and wow, we saw so many wonderful sights like: bears, deer, wild turkey's, snakes (yuck), waterfalls, old 1800's churches, homesteads, mountain views, etc. The weather here has been in the 90's and very humid. The pool has been very refreshing. We have made wonderful memories with our family. The time of relaxation has been wonderful!!
God's beauty is so amazing. It has been very fun taking lots of photos to help remember it all. We will try to get them uploaded to our site so you can share in the beauty and in some of the funny moments too. :-)
Blessing to all of you. Keep cool and thanks for stopping by.
