It's Already May


Friends and family,

Life is good in the burgh.  Married life is good; work is good; church is good; the macaroni I just made for dinner was good; God is good.  As always, we thank you for your continued support in prayer, kind words, finances, and sometimes goodies.  Here are the main things going on with us right now:

1.  Summer is approaching and we couldn’t be happier!  Nic will be continuing his work at the home Depot (indefinitely), and I will be a “lifeguard” for the YMCA’s summer program two days a week.  So, come August, I’ll have the most hideous tan lines ever and Nicholas will still be pasty white.

2.  Summer also means the kick-off for Bible Adventure in the Park – a weekly event for children held at Bayne Park where we will play games and learn about Jesus.  Vogue Bryant and Julie Gohn will be working alongside The Shepherd’s Door to make sure everything runs smoothly and everyone has a good time. 

3.  Word & Prayer is starting back up in June!  We are more than ready to continue reading and praying with our community at the Vue.  Nicholas and I are honored to say that we will be in charge of Word & Prayer from now on, and we are very excited to start training leaders, writing up a handbook, and making sure everyone gets to know what it’s like to study the Word of God in community.

4.  The Around the Bend Art Exhibition is just around the corner!  We have had an incredible response from the community concerning this event.  I thought finding artists to participate would be hard, but they’ve been crawling out of the woodwork! I think I may actually have too many artists participating… it’s fine.  Nicholas and some other local musicians will grace everyone with their talents as everyone else checks out some incredible art while snacking on homemade food donated by people from the church and community.

5.  Nicholas has been writing songs faster than I can keep up with laundry.  He is hoping to get some solid recordings out soon so he can share them with you all.  I married such a beautiful man.

6.  Shadowfax just tore into the bag of cheese I used in my homemade cheese sauce…  if you haven’t encountered a cat after their consumption of dairy, count yourself blessed, and pray for us tonight. 


Thanks for caring about us and reading our blog.  We love you all; if there’s anything we can ever do for you, never hesitate to ask.
