Ground Breaking....On Cement!

Gary got a job last week at the Port of Anacortes. This week he and Levi went down there for the "ground breaking" picture. The Port moved in soil on to the cement so they had something to push their shovls into. Gary is the second from the left and Levi is on the left.

We prayed for this job and are so thankful the Lord provided it for us!

How's that "Hope & Change" working out for you??

This came across Facebook today and I think it's a creative, mysterious, truth-telling way to reach thousands of people around you everyday with the thought-provoking question "How's that "hope & change" thing working out for you?"

Can't fill your vehicle any more since it now costs over $100 and your credit card is stopped at that? How much has the price of your Cinnamon Burst Cheerios gone up in price? How many of your daily expenses have increased drastically over the past two years?

It's time for us to call attention to the financial impact Obama has had on us. Some friends in Georgia came up with a great idea how to do that and have fun at the same time. The vehicle - sticky notes!

We all have them, or can easily and inexpensively get them. Write on each one "How's that "Hope & Change" working for you?" and then place it where it will not impede the next customers ability to read information or price. We WANT to call attention to the price!

Those who shop after you will be reminded just how much the cost of living as increased since Obama took office.

What a great idea...and it's taking the nation by storm! Join the fun. Here's a link that will tell you more: "Hope & Change" Sticky Note Campaign

Betsy's Easter Lily

My friend Betsy grew this amazing Casablanca Lily and I think it is beautiful. I am not a gardener, but I truly appreciate those who are. Betsy is amazing and I lover her!

She posted this picture today just as I was pondering our Good Friday service last nite and working thru my emotions over the suffering of Jesus for my sin. His suffering is more than I can handle.

I am very sensetive to suffering. I think I get this from my daddy. I can't bear to face it in any form, so Good Friday is always hard for me. I have just ready thru the Gosples and will admit reading rapidly thru that section each time.

What does this have to do with Betsy's beautiful lily? Nothing. But it is where my mind was when I saw this picture. Lilies are the flower I associate with Easter - pure, white, fragrant, living, beautiful, majestic...like Jesus.

Thank you Betsy, for sharing your beautiful lily with me today!
