Today was Cornerstone’s (church we are visiting) “Second Saturday” outreach. They rented five van’s and had different locations for us to go to. 120 people showed up for this event at the church.

Whew! It’s been a long day! We’ve been up since 4:30! After my bad cinnabon (yes, I’m still complaining about it, it was truly awful), we boarded the plane, the first leg was very uneventful. The second leg (from Detroit to Phoenix) was VERY eventful. After loathing the thought of a 4 hour flight, we…

After a really early morning, major traffic, check-in, security, and a really terrible $6.00 cinnabon, we’re finally at the gate. Our plane is boarding now so this will be brief.

Dear Readers, I am taking the time today to tell you about the worship leader of our church. She was a wonderful God-fearing woman. She lead our church in song and she was also the wife of our Sunday School teacher. She and Billy (her husband) always wanted our classroom repainted. The colors were red,…

Hi everyone! We are going to start raising support this month so please pray for us! We need your prayers more than ever now. Please pray that God will guide us through this sometimes very difficult and stressful time. We have already been blessed by two churches who have committed to supporting us. We are…
