Here are just a few of the Photos I took while on our trip to Wyoming. Please don't critique the photography, I realize it is not the greatest.

God is so good!


Well, we have returned from Wyoming and what a great time we had there; but let me tell you...it was packed! Pastor Tim had us running the whole time, and we absolutely loved it.
After returning from the river on Thursday morning we got some rest until that night when we had a men's softball game and ,would you believe it, they let me play! It was a double header that night and we won both games! I got a couple of base hits, but the best play was when "big" Mike Szewczyk (pronounced sev-check for those who don't know) hit an in the park home run...that man can really run! We had a great night, and Hayley got to see some foks in the stands that we had not seen in a long time; it was just a blessing to be at the ballpark again. The next two days were a blur with us having meals with friends, seeing friends at Alcova Lake, playing ball at the YMCA, visiting folks we had not seen in years, and alot of other things.
Sunday was a wonderful day in God's House! We again were able to see so many that we have not seen in a long time, as well as singing and hearing the great messages from God's Word. We ended the day with the church basically taking over the Dairy Queen on Poplar Street; again having the opportunity to fellowship with Gods people.
Monday was a day of mixed emotions, because it was time to go back to Tennessee and leave all those we had seen behind. We were truly moved by what we had experienced and a vision was renewed of what a need there is in Casper. We set out early in the morning for Denver, so that we could tak all the children to Casa Bonita (a childhood favorite of Pastor Tim and I). We had such a wonderful time of fellowship with Pastor and Kyla, but I still can't believe that the week had come and gone so fast. After having a great time at Casa Bonita we headed to the airport so that Pastor and his family could be on their way for the long 5 hour journey home. We arrived in Knoxville at 11:35 and got home about 12:30. We are excited to see what God will do in the near future if we will continue to follow Him and the direction He gives us. Please continue to pray for us.

Desiring God's Will!


We have been having such a wonderful time here in Casper, Wyoming with Pastor Tim Adams, his faimily, and the folks from Grace Bible Baptist Church. For the past two days we have been camping out by the North Platte River and it was wonderful. We arrived in Wyoming on Monday and have been going just about non-stop since we got here. The church had its mid-week service by the river tuesday night, and then several of the families stayed to camp. We woke up early Wednesday morning and then floated the river; it was wonderful!! It is such a blessing to see how the LORD is blessing here! Praise the LORD! There are many new families that have been reached by the church and they are excited for the LORD. We got back to the Blair's house today (they are the family we are staying with, and are very dear friends of ours) got a nice nap and then headed out to play some men's softball. We played two games and won both, praise the LORD! Please pray that we will be sensative to the leading of the LORD for our lives. We are praying that we follow the LORD wherever He leads us, and Casper, Wyoming is one of the places that we are praying for direction about. This is our only desire...God's perfect will!
