I know, it has been forever since I was on. Last week we had VBS at church and so I was busy with that in the morning. Milking in the afternoon. We averaged 45 kids all week which is low from what we usually have but God knows the kids that need to be there. 7 kids made decisions for the Lord last week. Thier offering that they brought in was going to an orphanage in AFrica, a girl that used to come to our church when she was younger is now a nurse on Mercy Ships and she works in Monrovia(sp) and there is where the orphanage is. Any way the kids brought in thier loose change and it was boys against girls and we would weigh the offering buckets each day to see who brought in the most in weight. Girls rule!!! They raised $600 during the week, then at the closeing program on Sunday night another 400 came in. $1000 dollars, how God blessed that week.

This week we have been dodgeing rain showers trying to finish up our chopping so we can go camping. Not much chopping got done but the ground that we have chopped is all covered with manure so that is good. Doesn't smell to good but that is part of farming. I now have a ton of flys all over my screens trying to get in. I hate flys

Last night we had Kyle's 18th B-day party. For his combination graduation and birthday present I redid his room up to the trailer where he is moving to. It is all John Deere. I will try to get pics today so I can post them. It  looks real nice. He was surprised, I wouldn't let him see it till we finished it. Den and I went and bought him a new bed for it yesterday. Now he just has to move in his clothes, which are all in the laundry because he wants them clean so he won't have to do laundry right off. He is in for a rude awakening!!

Today since it is raining Dennis decided to take the boys to Cabela's for a guys day. Lyns and I are having a ladies day and we get to drive Ryan's truck!!

Prayer request: Please pray for a friend of our family- he used to be my pastor when I was younger- his name is Vondel Allen- he has had some health issues this last year with his heart, he is diabetic, he is not strong enough for surgury but at this time he has been having issues with his left leg not getting any circulation and now they are going to amputate his leg. At first they told him just his toes, now it is his leg. He also has colon cancer and needs treatments for that but they were waiting for him to get stronger. I guess they have started that as well. There is alot going on so just pray for his family, for strength for what is to come. God is great and can choose to heal if that is His will. That is just a short summary of all that is going on but it gives you an idea of the urgencey that is felt by his family.

Well I guess that is all for now.
