Great Weather

Wow the weather in Piggott has been incredible for August. Monday the high had to be in the low 70's it felt like October. Isn't it amazing how just the weather can effect how you feel. Feelings are something that everybody has to deal with, sometimes we feel Great and other times we feel like not SO great. I am so thankful that my salvation isn't based on my feelings but based on the promise of God that He will never leave me nor forsake me. I may not always feel saved but I know because I confessed my sins as a teenager and ask God to forgive me I AM Saved! Now back to the weather I love cool afternoons today I had 12 kids in my back yard playing wiffle ball and I just sat and watched about 5 innings and it was soooo much fun. O to be wiffle ball age again. (wait I am wiffle ball age you never out grow wiffle ball, I'm playin tommorrow) I hope all of you find time to just stop and enjoy some of the cool things going on all around you. It's time well spent for me considering 2 of the twelve players belonged to me and the other 10 are basically adopted.
Live life to the fullest it's gonna end one of these days!

Back on the bus

Well we are all back in school . I started back driving the school bus yesterday and I am glad to be back on a schedule and sure it won't be long before I will be ready for a break. Ethan made it thru the first day of Jr high without any major issues, now if we can just make it thru science. Tanner started his Jr. year and Logan is a freshman. Johnna got her teaching certificate this summer and we are all real proud of "Ms Johnna" she hasn't been able to get a job, but we know she is going to make a Great teacher.

I am real excited about our AWANA program this year there seems to be lots of excitement among our leaders and lots of new ideas. If you would like to be apart of AWANA in any way we have a place for you. The fall is a fun ministry time with back to school events, fish fry, revival, and several other things I hope that you will join us this fall at Emmanuel.

I want to say a big thank you for everyone who has been serving in different areas lately. Thanks to the men who did carpentry work on the Oasis church in St. Francis, AR, also a big thank you goes out to all those who helped with our back to school bash last Sunday night it was Great. We past out over 40 back packs in all!

Emmanuel is a Great place to serve the Lord.

Great Worship

Hey I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed being at church this morning. It was Great our praise team did an outstanding job in leading us in worship. I could just sense a Great spirit in the church. When you start the service with people giving the Lord a lot of praise it just sets the tone for a Great service. If you were not able to attend we missed you and hope that you will come and join us again real soon. I love Emmanuel!

Kids Gone Wild

Hey everyone I am way down south near Eldarado Arkansas. Ethan and myself are speaking at a camp with lots of energetic students. Tonight we are at a water park! If you want a challenge just trying speaking to a group of students that know they are going to a water park as soon as the preacher gets done. It was a short service, I am now the most popular man at camp. It has been wonderful to see students come to Christ. Pray for us as we travel home late tomorrow night. See ya Friday!
