Welcome to Summer!
|
WELCOME TO SUMMER! We pray you had a wonderful celebration of our nation's 250th birthday and still have all your fingers (or at least the same number you had last week!). We mentioned earlier in the year that we would be keeping a light touring schedule this summer because of upcoming family events, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy! Here's a snapshot of the happenings around here. Pam's mom has moved into a senior community - twice! The facility is beautiful and the waiting list so long, the only way to get into a one bedroom apartment is to first move into a studio apartment and then move again when a one bedroom opens up. She moved the first time in the spring and moved into her official residence a few weeks ago. Pam and her sisters have been taking care of all the prep work to get her mom's house ready to sell, and that list has been loooooong. All the structural repairs are finished, the estate sale is this week, and the house will go on the market soon after. Phil's mom is going to move into the same senior community next month. Same situation - studio apartment for now until a one bedroom open up. Fortunately, her house is much newer and in excellent condition, so we won't have to do any of the structural work. Depending on the availability and timing, this could be the year of four moves! (Praise God one of them is not ours!!!) The church where Phil is minister of music is EXPLODING! Tons of visitors each week, lots of baptisms and new members. It's exciting to see God obviously at work! Pastor Jason and Phil make a great team to preach and sing the Word each week. Phil has also started a Super Seniors monthly meeting that is growing by leaps and bounds, and is working with several of the other churches in town to impact the entire community. Like most things in ministry, his part-time job has full-time hours, but he is thrilled to see God using his gifts to bless a whole new group of people. Also on the Phil front, he is going to have an upcoming cataract surgery on his eye. He'll find out a date after his appointment on the 20th of this month. Hopefully, Pam will be less nervous when he drives once he can see the street signs again! Last, but certainly not least, we are loving this grandparent thing! Little Alec is a hoot, and we look forward to every minute we get to spend with him. Phil is making him some wooden toys so he has little surprises when he comes to Grammy and Papa's house! What a blessing! Thanks for your continued prayer and support as we take care of our families in this season. We'll be back on the road this fall so hopefully we'll get to see you in person!

When a month has five Tuesdays, I usually just consider than my day off. But I'm feeling especially generous this month, and last week's scripture paints a really funny picture... at least to my slightly warped mind... Mind Your Manners by Phil While you're out being Elijah ministering to your widow, make sure you mind your manners. Case in point: When he (Elijah) came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar...
This is a devotion I wrote back in 2013, but it resonates with our themes this month and deserves a second look. Enjoy! Elijah's Widow by Phil Earlier this year we sang for a small church not far from our home. Before the service, the Pastor met with us in his office to pray for the morning. He shared something that really struck a chord with me and has stuck in my mind ever since. He mentioned how we had been on television and sang for large churches over the years. Almost apologetically he...
Legacy by Phil This Sunday is Father's Day, the day we celebrate the high calling of dad-dom with bad ties and BBQ. There is much to say about the importance of a father's role in the lives of his children and the dysfunction in our society brought on by the proliferation of absentee fatherism. Instead, I'd like to take this moment to speak to men in general - fathers, grandfathers, sons, and grandsons. When speaking about fathers, we often talk about the legacy they leave behind. I think...
