Famous Dave’s Field Trip… and more

Posted on: 1 Comment

I know the what more important is the “and more” so I’ll start there.  About 8:45 this morning I was told I needed to call my father at home.  In my mind I immediately knew what I was going to be told.  My Grandmother was just recently diagnosed with Lung Cancer and had been under some chemo which helped.  About a month ago her doctors told that there wasn’t much more they could do, and gave her about a year.  My parent had seen them on Saturday; they enjoyed the time.   So I called my father and my dad told me that she had passed away last night in her sleep.  They think the cause of death was a heart attack, however since she was a sleep the hospice nurse said she probably didn’t feel a thing.   I went and found Renae and relay the news, and then talked with Pastor Davidson who was very comforting.

This afternoon, I had planned to take my yearbook class to Famous Dave’s in celebration of finishing the yearbook.  None of my five students had ever been so we were in for a treat.  The food was GREAT! the student’s loved it.  I had the 2 meat combo with the beef brisket and a hot sausage link, with the sides of potato wedges and mashed potatoes, along with the cornbread and corn that always come with it.  Here is some pics.  Not going to do a restaurant review here, sorry.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my friends, family, enemies (if I have any of those), and anyone else.  It’s been quite a year; as I look back, many things have happened, and God has provided in so many ways.

To start, my life truly changed on February 11, when, I finally put my trust in Christ as the only way to be saved.  It is great to finally have the assurance that I know where I will go when I die.

Another life changing event was my engagement to Renae, on July 20th.  We have been dating now for over two years; during this time we have gotten to know each other very well.  We will be getting married on June 14th.  We hope to see many of you there to witness the start of our new life.

On Mother’s Day, I was able to preach a message at Bethel Baptist Church.  I have been attending this church since I started college.  It was really exciting, to be able to put into practice everything that I have been learning at school.  I serve consistently in the Tech Ministry at Bethel, making sure all the slide shows are ready for the services, and that sort of work.

I have just finished my seventh semester at Pacific Baptist College, and have one more semester left.  I am scheduled to graduate on April 30th, with a degree in missions.  Renae and I plan to get involved full-time in church ministry after our wedding.

As for Renae, she has been working at Stremmel’s, a local greeting card store.  The store also has a Post Office Express in it; so for the past month she has been really busy.  She spends her free time hanging out with me, and planning for the wedding.

This year has be really wonderful for us, and we look forward to see how God will continue to provide for us this next year.  We  would like to wish to all a Merry Christmas, and God blessing on your next year.
