It has definitely been an interesting and busy couple of weeks. As you can see from the photo below Shawn and I have spent a lot of time working on the bus… well, actually repairing the radiator. I told someone the other day that Step 2 of repair was completed and they asked, “How many steps are involved?” I replied, “Step 1: Take off the old radiator. Step 2: Put on the new one. Step 3: Pray that it all works!” After our trip to Mississippi and Alabama last weekend, I can now say that Step 3 was also a success! Thank you, God, for another answered prayer!
This Sunday morning we will be in concert at our home church, Hillcrest Baptist Church! We’re really excited since this is one of the very few times each year that we are able to attend our church on a Sunday! If you’re in the Jackson, TN area, we would love for you to come worship with us this Sunday morning!
We have also added a new and really neat feature to the right sidebar of our webpage! We will be adding pictures to the site right from our cell phones… at anytime! So you never know when or what’s going to be added! Check back often to see the latest pics!

As many of you know, LeeAnn has been a dental hygentist for the past ten years. Since we relocated to Jackson from Covington 5 years ago, she has tried to find a job that would be flexible with our ministry schedule, but nothing ever materialized. With much prayer, she started checking into the accelerated BSN nursing program at Union University here in Jackson. Our prayer was that if it was God’s will, the doors would open. She received a letter in the mail today that said “congratulations, it is a pleasure to inform you that you have been accepted into the program.” There were only 36 people chosen, so needless to say, I am very proud. Her classes will begin in January 2010 and she will graduate in December 2010, so that will be a pretty intense schedule.
Now as Tim stated in a previous e-mail, this does not mean that we will be looking for someone to fill her position with the group. I have been chosen to sing her part if there is a date or two that she might have to miss, but I’m hoping it will be a minimal amount. We hope you will join us in praying for LeeAnn as she starts this new chapter in her life. I know there will be a lot of late nights studying, but I’m going to do the best I can to help her by staying out of the way. HAHA! Thanks to all of you, our friends, for your support in what we do and for all of your prayers as we travel from place to place. Without that, we could not go on.

Do you ever spend a lot of time working on things, but never feel like you get anything done? That has been my week so far! On our last several trips we’ve noticed that the bus engine has been running hotter than normal and we’ve come to the conclusion that the radiator needs to be replaced. We have also had a few problems with the starter on the bus and knew that we would have to replace it in the near future. So I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to research the most “price conscience” (cheapest) way to resolve these problems.
The cost for a new complete radiator assembly from Prevost is approx. $3,500 but you can purchase just the core for $2,000. That would seem like the best option… but after some research I found out that we could get a core built for only $1,300! So that has been ordered and will hopefully arrive on Monday of next week. I also ordered a new starter for $350 that will arrive tomorrow and be ready to put on next week. Just part of the joy (and responsibility) of owning a bus! So, if you’re in the Jackson area and would like to get a little greasy next week… come on out!
It seems like this is the most excitement that we’ve had around here lately. Tim thought that he needed a new look. This is the shortest that it has been in nearly 5 years! What do you think? Do you like the before…or after? Let us know! I know that he’ll be glad to hear from you.
