Prayer for the House(s)

Welcome to February!

Another month means unfortunately we had to make another mortgage payment on our house in Woodbury! We would appreciate your fervrant prayers that this house would sell in February.

While your're at it, please pray for our house being built in Salida. We lost a couple days of work this week do to weather...it was super windy. On Monday a gust was measured at 109 mph! Pray for safety for Mike Smith and his crew.

Last night we went to our new small group studies. Currently the Men and Women are meeting seperately. The men met at the local lumber mill, and shot some archery. It was another great meeting. There was a man there named Roy who admits he is not a Christian. Last night Roy was asking a lot of great questions. You may recall that I shared last week that a man named Aaron just accepted the Lord as his savior. Aaron was there last night, and he and Roy were having a great conversasion. It is inspiring to see the holy spirit work. Please pray that Roy would follow this prompting to find out more about Christ, and having a relationship with Christ. Also, continue to pray for Aaron, that he would continue to grow in his faith.

I am headed for Horn Creek Ranch this evening for a Men's Retreat. Should be a fun weekend. Funny thing is I am already looking forward to getting back and seeing Nancy and the Kids. Wierd.

Have a super weekend. I hope the superbowl is a close game...I am torn on who I want to win. But I will probably pull for the Patriots just for Pastor Dana's sake!

Make it a priority to get to Church and connect with some people this weekend!

I'm praying, I'm praying!! Your Woodbury house is very clean. It looks great and smells yummy. The right people need to come along and discover this treasure! We had a great small group social on Wednesday at the Beix's house. It was Bob's 40th birthday so we had cake and ice cream. I'm a greeter at church on Saturday so I will go to the following service. There is an evening coffee social tonight at church. I'm going to have 3 dates/times available next week to introduce Once Upon a Family to anybody who wants to come to my house. I'm very excited to tell everybody about this company and their Christian-based family values. I saw something cool yesterday: when I was picking up the kids from Mark's parents house, we saw 2 very large deer walking slowly across the street. They were huge! I haven't seen the deer in our backyard nor have I seen the coyotes. I did see a pheasant. He was pecking the ground under the Marley tree in our backyard. The snow is icy, crunchy and slippery. No plans for the Superbowl except to be home and watch it. I'm mostly interested in the commercials and the half time bands. Have a great weekend!!

We are praying for your house to sell...really we are! Both homes on either side of us are for sale. Maybe I should stand outside and direct them over to your house?
We miss you guys -

Romans 12:2

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.  Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.
