What to blog, what to blog, what to blog...
Wow, it has been AGES since I've blogged. I guess I've been suffering from "Blogger's Block" again.
I'll start by updating on Zachary's Growth Hormone Shots. He has grown 2.5 inches since he started the injections in November. It is going well, although he doesn't like them. He was very happy when we visited an amusement park in May and he was FINALLY tall enough to ride a certain roller coaster. He said that made the injections worth it.
Steve went on a month-long sabbatical from the end of April through the end of May. He was studying the use of multi-media in churches. Since the boys are homeschooled, we joined him. Our trip began in Nashville where we visited Brentwood Baptist Church. We also went to the Nashville Zoo, walked around the Opryland Hotel, had a tour of Lifeways' Publishing Headquarters and ate at the Aquarium Restaurant (in the same restaurant chain as Rainforest Cafe.) We also visited with a friend who was one of our professors when we were at seminary.
After this, we went to the happening place of Big Point, MS. We visited Steve's parents, celebrated their 50th anniversary and held our new Great Niece.
From here we went to Tupelo, MS and stayed about 10 days in a home used for furloughing missionaries. Our good friends who lived in Vero Beach when we did, now live in Tupelo and we made sure we visited often. We also drove to Memphis where Steve toured a couple Mega-churches, visited with seminary friends who are in Memphis and visited with more seminary friends at the house in Tupelo. It was sort of like a seminary reunion, one couple at a time. Oh and lets NOT forget...we also visited the birthplace of Elvis!! (Can't leave that one out).
From here, we traveled on to Branson, MO (where my parents now live.) Steve took the opportunity to see several shows including "Noah" at the Sight and Sound theatre. The two of us went early for the backstage tour. It was amazing to see how much has gone into the sets, lighting, stage, etc. Don't get me wrong, the actors were very talented, but it's really the awesome set that makes the show.
After our month was over, we drove back to MD and have been spending our time retraining our cat to use his litter box each and every time and not armchairs.  A young adult from our church stayed in our home for us while we were away so that he wouldn't be lonely, but he is just a cat who is going to have issues. |

Hey, "Wrong Way!"
It's good to see you back and to see that all is well. Your month-long sabbatical and consequent reunions sound wonderful, and I'm sure there will be much fruit from it for you guys personally and for your ministry. God bless. |
