Hearts overflowing as we settle in ABQ NM

July 23, 2015

What an incredible send off Skiff Lake Bible Church gave us before we left for New Mexico. A mystery dinner, a wonderful crowd of saints, beautiful singing, many encouraging words and diligent prayer; our hearts were full of praise for days. Thank You LORD. A few days later, many members of His Body gathered to […]

22 years and time to go…

June 16, 2015

Can it possibly be? Over twenty two years ago Shirley and I left sunny FL in January for Jackson, Michigan. Our goal? Study the Bible for two years.

Grand Trip to the GC!
