On the Road

We left Durham last Saturday for an adventure to visit our beloved family, friends and supporters. Our first stop was Augusta, Ga where my parents live ("Gran and Pop"). Our kids just love being with them and were so gitty as we approached their house.
We were also able to spend time with Lisa's grandma who moved to Georgia last October from California. She is 93 and was in need of more assistance. I use to see her once every 2 years or so. I have been able to see her 4 times already since she has been here. What a blessing! She was so good to me as a child and she has such a special place in my heart. My parents have been so good to her.
Our next stop was Forsyth, Ga where my sister lives. Sadly, we are not able to see her family as my kids cames down with Hand, Foot, Mouth disease (a virus we picked up at VBS). Beth has a new baby and didn't feel it was wise to expose her....so we are looking forward to next time.
Sunday, July 6th, we will be visiting with Dayspring, the PCA church here in Forsyth who play a huge part in reaching NC college students for Christ. They believe in us as a couple and what we do as a ministry, which gives us enormous encouragement. We can't wait to see them.

Also in Forsyth is one of our favorite people - Movene Futch. She has been a friend and mentor to me since college and I so value her friendship. We have been staying with her these past few days.





Our next stop will be Valdosta, GA - wow. It has been so long since we have been there....so many great memories!!!!! We are going to the wedding of one of our former staff students and staff people, Spence Romine.
