Ready to Make Plans

Ethan finally had a chance to talk with Pastor today(er, um yesterday now I guess). He was very encouraged and said Pastor helped him a great deal and confirmed some things in him. So he is ready to get to his Uncle Tim.

Let me know some dates. I talked to Bobby and we can probably fly him out to you and then Bobby can see his retailers in Mississippi and swing over and pick him up. He will start school again on August 10th.

We have been having good church. A young man by the name of Bro. Kelly Holland has been here. And as I am typing this it just hit me who he is. I think this young man is the one whose father has the church in Glennville, GA. Is that right, Cyndi?

Anyway, what awesome services. We are getting very excited about the prospect of a building here. I think Bro. Wood is going to talk to Pastor and see about doing an offering for the chairs. We are going to buy a keyboard for the church, but in the meantime, I will probably bring mine over there and leave it to keep from hauling it back and forth.

I love you all. I will keep you posted. Give me an idea of dates and you guys let me know about Thanksgiving so I can find a place to book. Have a blessed day.

Is E. H. B. planning a trip to the Promise Land of Cenla?...

a post from the "working woman"

I'm still in orientation...I 'm just rotating to different units right now. I'll finally start working nights on my home floor next week (Thanks be to God! These 5:30 morning are killing me!!!) Anyway...I take my state boards on July 13th (that's right ...Friday the 13th ;) Please be in much prayer...I'm a nervous wreck and can't seem to motivate myself to study...Love to all, D'Ann

In Calgary...

I was sitting on the King's porch...checking messages, reading, generally enjoying the view and the climate...

It is 12 degrees Celsius or 53 degrees fahrenheit... A little overcast and breezy... Just splendid...

The King's home is on a hill overlooking the City of Calgary ( approximately 1 million population) and just to the west the Canadian Rockies... I wish I could transfer the weather and the view home...

I am lonely for my girls, that is the best view and one I don't have here... God bless...

Gettin' in the Groove

I have officially finished my first week back on the OB unit. I must say, other than the debilitating tiredness I feel pretty good about life at this moment.

After working Sunday night I saw a patient I had checked in Wal Mart (imagine that) and she waved and waved at me. And when I got to work last night one of the nurses kept saying how my patient from that morning and her family kept bragging on me. This was an element of my life that was missing and I'm glad to have it back.

It's going to take me a little time to get back into the swing since I have been sitting on the proverbial bench for 3 1/2 years now, but I don't think it's going to take me as long as I originally thought. I already feel comfortable like I have been bound but now I am loosed.

I haven't heard from my other little nurse, so I'm thinking all must be well in the CHF/Renal world. I'm excited to hear her stories and experiences from life in the trenches. I know she is picking it all up quick!

Cyndi left today, and I must say I felt very mournful and cried a lot *don't tell her that, OK?* She has gone back to her life and I should be glad since that means Dad and Mom are well enough to leave, but she stayed too long and I became accustomed to her presence. There is just something about knowing my brother or sister are right here that is so wonderful. And I am like Tim, except I think they all just need to move here so we can be together. Hey, we'd already have a congregation with all of us!!!

I am anticipating life taking a more predictable course and I will be glad to fit again instead of feeling like a square peg trying to fit the round holes in my life. I love you all so much...

Travel, travel, rush, rush, rush...

Sissy will be in Dallas tomorrow, coming home Friday evening. I am flying to Calgary for a "Harvest Weekend" Friday Morning and will be back in Louisiana Monday night. Bro. King wants Whit to go to Canada to their "Youth Congress" July 4th - 6th... Mom and Whit (maybe me too) are looking at going to Heritage in Colorado Springs in July...

Meanwhile, back at home Bro. Sibley our Adm. Pastor is in Texas somewhere until the 26th of June, leaving my young preachers, holding down the fort, this weekend...

Life is expedientially moving at an unrealistic pace...

Be careful on your way home, Cyndi... Come as soon as you can, Sheri... and wherever we travel, let us meet in the rapture... J. Tim

Mother's Day

Yesterday was Father's Day... Today and the rest of the year is Mother's Day. Perhaps you have read Harold Bell Wright's book- The Uncrowned King, We are writing our own called,"The Enthroned Queen"...

It is an epic story of a woman and her little Deere...

We miss you all and hope to see you soon. Give Dad a hug and kisses from me and the girls...

Back From Legacy

The kids and I had an awesome time this past week. It was like leaving reality behind and stepping into another world. The new overseer of the campground (which is a Baptist campground) said his staff told him they looked forward to the Apostolic camp each year because we were so considerate.

They told him he would not believe it, we played basketball, volleyball, we swam and did all kinds of outdoor recreation *with our clothes on!* They were amazed. He also told Bro. Bass to pass on to all of us that we should never lose our testimony.

Since Sis. Godair has been sick we had Bro. Burgess in the evening, and Bro. Calhoun from Texas in the morning. It was so wonderful, I would that you could have all been there. We probably had close to 1000 in the evening services, the day services were broken up in age groups. We even had a church from Illinois come. I suppose there were 16 churches represented.

It was good to see Mom and Dad. Cyndi has them both up and running. I'll start back on OB tomorrow night, and Bobby will be going back on the road as a salesman. I am prayerful that I can eventually go part time which is my DREAM!

Well, I love you all!!!!

By the way...I love the picture of you with your reading glasses perched on the end of your nose. You are still the handsomest big brother ever! Happy Father's Day.

I'll walk you around.

Here are pictures of the outside of our home. Hopefully you all can come out to see it in person...
