August Doings

Hey everyone!  Tony, Emma and I will be going to Ohio to visit my dad probably on August 1 and stay through the 4th or 5th.  Pray for us that our travel will be safe.

Emma will be starting school on August 11th.  She will be attending Crossroads Christian Academy again this fall.  It is a homeschool cooperative so we will be homeschooling again this year.  It is a really cool school.  There is much emphasis placed on developing their own individual walk with God.  And surprisingly, there is also alot of emphasis placed on the arts.  The founder is a lady named Drew Guetermann (the wife of pro-baseball player Lee Guetermann) and it is her desire for these kids to use their talents to glorify God.  Hollywood (theater and arts in general) use their talents to glorify evil.  It is our desire that these children develop their talents to bring glory to God, their Creator and the One who gifted them.  Pray for Emma as the school year starts and for me that I can teach her both academically and spiritually.

We love you guys,

Lori

Emma’s Camp LeJeune Pictures

Hello Family,

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing theses pictures from Emma’s mission trip to Camp LeJeune Marine Base in North Carolina.  If you are interested, the group, Emma included, will be giving their testimonies about the trip this coming Sunday night, July 6 at 6:00 pm at Friendsville First Baptist Church.  We would love for you to come if you can.

Love,

Proud Mom Lori
