Justin's Back




We picked Justin up from the church at 4:00 today. He had a really good time in Tennessee. He was exhausted, but ready to tell us about his trip. He said his favorite time of fun was on the ski lift up the mountain to the different shops and things. His favorite work time was the visitation. They were split up in groups and he said he believed one person was saved. That was good news! He said the church was quite small but seemed to be a really good church.

When we picked Justin up from our church, we headed straight over to some friend's home for dinner, games, and lively discussion. So I haven't really had a chance to get all the details. I'm sure he'll fill me in on all of them tomorrow. I'm looking forward to having a regular conversation with him and when I do, I'll be sure to fill you in on some more of his trip.

To those of you who gave Justin things to sell in his yard sale and at the trade lot, to those who have given him an opportunity to work for them this summer cutting grass or doing odd jobs, and to those who just wanted to make donations for his trip, we extend a heartfelt thank you. It meant so much. He has learned the value of a dollar this summer, which I am so glad to know, but he also learned that God does supply. He took a specific amount with him and came back with 1/3 of what he took. I was really surprised and proud at the same time.

So Thank You for letting the Lord use you:

Grandmother Morrow
Maw Maw and Paw Paw Birt
Uncle John
Aunt Dessie
Brother Chris and Sister Amanda
Brother and Sister Vaughn
Brother Randy and Sister Kellie
Brother Cecil and Sister Colleen
Brother Mike and Sister Susan
Brother Ken and Sister Tammy
Brother John and Sister Kim

Did I forget anyone? If I did, I'm sorry. It doesn't mean it wasn't appreciated. It just means that once again, it is 2:00 AM and my brain is on stand-by. :)
