Another week has passed. We have Charra (Joy & Steve's dog) at our house. The Flinchums are at Disney World and other sights in Florida. I hope they all come home together. Joy threatened that if one got lost, she was not going to look for them - it takes too much time and she has things to do and see.

Mom and Paul left the wedding and Mom slipped and fell and has been nursing a sore knee since. I hope she is feeling better soon.

Life here is good. We are working on a couples ministry vision. Bernie has been talking about this for over a year. So we are stepping out to see where this thing goes. There is a simulcast on Feb. 28 that we are hosting that will kick it off. This is a challenge because we have no idea how many people will want to come to Pella for a boost in their marriage. The simulcast has Beth Moore, Gary Chapman, Gary Thomas, John Trent, Jeremy Camp and others. It is a great lineup and we have an awesome team to help, but we are still walking blindly. "We walk by faith, not by sight"- a little un-nerving!

I started tanning this week for our trip to Cancun in March. Dot and Duane Bruxvoort invited us along for a trip through the store. I love this part of being friends and Bernie working for the Bruxvoorts. What a Blessing!

I was impressed to see that Mari and Abby commented on the grandchildren blog - I know they are checking it - you may post also.....I would love to see what everyone is up to. My kids don't want me to get facebook - and I am choosing to honor them on that. Besides I don't have the gumption to try to figure it out.

I love you all!
