Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see...

These lines were penned by John Newton and are the inspiration for the title of a movie worth seeing! "Amazing Grace," is the story of William Wilberforce. He was a Member of Parliment in Great Britain and worked to not only reform the "manners of society," but led the way for the abolishment of slavery in 1833. Jamie and I saw this movie on opening night this past weekend. The truth of Christ is played out unashamed and it is truly moving. Please, take the time to go and see this account of a very important time in our World's history. You will not forget it.

After a few months of silence, then a few weeks of serious searching, God has finally begun to reveal bits and pieces of his plan for our future. We are very happy this plan includes us continuing on here in Ashland with our ministry to the International Students. Please pray with us as we seek to serve and minister to these special students! Here are a couple recent photographs from our Sunday evening gathering.

I've got a wocket in my pocket

This picture is back from November, but everytime I see it come up on my screen saver I think to myself, "Self, this picture is way too cute to keep to yourself. You really must find a reason to share it!" And so, here it is. It reminds me of a little girl you might find in a Dr. Suess book. Enjoy a giggle! :)
