It's been awhile . . .

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Wow - time has surely marched on since my last post! Colleen and I were at the end of our apartment's lease in mid-October and decided to look for new place (bigger!) in the district where my daughters could go to some very good schools. Well, seems God liked that idea too and a fine townhouse (bigger!) became available. After seeing it the first time, my wife's exact words were, "If we don't take it, we're stupid!" Since we're not stupid, usually anyway, we jumped on it and took a month to move. Immediately after moving, Colleen left for 16 days of work/vacation and is returning today - woo hoo! Yes, I have missed her intensely.

I plan to get back to my Street-Reading ministry either this month or next. Since God has put homeless people in my path recently, I decided to do some volunteer work at the Union Mission in downtown Norfolk. I'll be working a few hours each Saturday in December helping fill food baskets and, in late December, bringing the Word at Chapel one evening. I'm really excited to be doing something useful that meets peoples basic needs - Matt 25:35 'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

Since we're in a new location, I may try a different site for the Street-Reading. Then again, I feel compelled to go back to the same area I was working in. Ah well, maybe I'll do both. i need to pray about it. God Bless all who read this. Keep me and my family in your prayers and I'll do the same for you.
