WE'RE HERE....in Gulfport, Mississippi, that is! We arrived late yesterday afternoon after a challenging drive from Mt. Juliet, TN....a big part of the challenge was some of the weather we drove through, and then there is always construction which is just sooooo much fun with a big rig. Oh, and then there was the steering stabilizer that we had worked on when we were in TN....it came loose on one side and was dragging along underneath the motorhome. NOT a good thing when you are going down the interstate at speed! Praise the Lord it didn't do any apparent damage to anything else, and Willie was able to remove it before we continued on our way.

It is also a praise that I am now "connected" again....those computer and internet withdrawal pains are pretty severe, let me tell you! We were able to pick up the computer (all cleaned up and OS reinstalled) from the Geek Squad just before the store closed on Wednesday....making our quick get-away possible yesterday morning!

I don't want to fail to bring you up to date on LFI - last night the 10 acres of land that have been purchased in Eaton, OH were dedicated for the Lord's use....and HOPE Singers Puerto Rico continues to roll! It is so awe-inspiring to see God at work as individuals and groups allow themselves to be used by Him!

Last, but not least, especially for photo addicts like myself, I'm posting a few of the photos from our VA trip below and will be putting more up as time allows.....but right now I have to start thinking about putting dinner together for Janelle and her boys.....how does hotdogs with all the trimmings sound? Now if the next band of storms will just hold off for awhile...

Willie, with our grandaughter, Alyssa who is now a junior at Old Dominion University and plans on being a kindergarten teacher. This summer she was a member of the Capitol Regiment Drum Corp....and has the tan lines to show for all those hours spent in the sun.
And her younger brother, Nicholas, who missed his sister terribly while she was gone. He will be in the fifth grade.....youch!!! Oh, yeah....and that's me, in case you hadn't figured it out yet!
Mr. Big Eyes himself, Brandon.....who is anxiously awaiting the start of kindergarten in just a couple of weeks....bet he'll have the girls chasing him before too long!
Sierra, who is now in second grade, with baby brother Tyreese....they live in Charlottesville, VA
along with sister Kaila, who is now in kindergarten, and their mom, Amber.
The Codester.....aka Cody, who just returned from a missions trip to the Bahamas and is getting ready to return to high school after Labor Day, with his eye on attending the Free Will Baptist College in Nashville, TN.
We have been blessed beyond measure.....and pray God's blessing on you and yours today!
