I finished the book!

Well, I finished A Reconciled Heart by Jo Ann Snapp. Oh, my goodness! It was excellent. I can't believe how well the book is written, especially for the very first book she has written. It is really a page turner and I had to just make myself put it down. I wanted to hurry and get to the end to see what happened, but I wanted the book not to end either. I am excited about the next book in the series. I hope it comes out soon. You all have just got to get this book and read it and pass it on. After I thumbed through some of the filth that young women I know are reading today, it made me sad. That is why I am so happy with this book, finally something decent. It makes me happy to know that there are choices out there for a young woman to read that promote Biblical values.

Sister Branscum here is one of the pictures of your girls from camp. I tried and tried to get these to post to Kodak.com but the upload failed. I finally gave up after several hours.

Sister Pam, here is a picture of Cindi and Josh. Sorry, I can't get them all on here.

We started back walking today. It rained, but we walked anyway. Some of us brought umbrellas. It was fun as usual, but I could only make it two miles this time. I was really tired and my feet and back were hurting.

Amy, Rob, and the girls left for Alabama today. I miss them already. They won't be back for three weeks and then they are going to stay at Mel and Darrins and try to find a van in Little Rock when they come back through. Rob will be staying for a total of six weeks though in Alabama.

Emily and Dakota are doing well in school. It is almost 9 weeks. They do not like to read as well as I do. I wish I could get them motivated! Maybe when they are a little older.

Sister Gosser, the Gleaner leader, is doing something interesting with them on Wednesday nights at Church. They are deputies uncovering facts in the Bible, memorizing scriptures, and having all kinds of fun. Tayler, my brother's daughter, really likes it. She has been coming every Wednesday since they started this new thing. I am so glad she is enjoying it. Tori is supposed to come this week.

Several came and helped get the trusses (is that how it's spelled?) up on the church building Thursday. It is looking different now. They are preparing to put the roof on. We are excited to get it finished in the next several months. We are still having some awesome services. Brother Farthing always preaches his heart out and God is really blessing. We had some new visitors in service last night. Hope they come back.

We are going to the Casting Crowns concert this weekend. They are really good. Wayne and I went last time they were in Little Rock. I am not used to having to buy tickets though because usually I can win some from AFR (American Family Radio) out of Little Rock or Heber Springs. I love AFR. This time though they were not doing any ticket give aways for this concert. :(

We are looking forward to the couples retreat in April (4, 5, 6, I think). It is in Branson, Missouri which is a couple of hours away and it is for couples of all ages.

Oh, I have found the absoute best salsa! It is Santitas. (It is in a jar exactly like the Tostitos brand, but it tastes soooooooo much better). It is just like in Mexican restaurants. They were selling it at the Mountain View Wal-Mart and now they don't carry it. When we were in Tennessee, I found some at there Wal-Mart by the tortilla chips, so I stocked up- 6 jars at once, but it didn't last long and we have run out and I can't find anymore. If you see it, please tell me where. :)

Please pray for my family. Most of them are not saved. Also, I told Stevie I would pray about her van. The motor is messed up and it will cost about 1200 dollars to fix. This is the way Destiny gets to and from school and to Mountain View. So, help me pray that God would make a way for it to be fixed quickly and as inexpensively as possible.

Well, I have a training to help with the next three days so I better go to bed now.
