Life Changes

Preparing the bonfire for the party.

Life changes.  I've been through many changes in my 56 years on this earth.  Some are good, some are bad and some are neither good nor bad, they just occur.  My ministry has changed over the years as God has moved me from ministering at my home church to ministering on the reservations in Arizona and New Mexico to ministering at The Encouragement House. 

Our family will be going through a change in the month of October with our youngest son's move to The Encouragement House.  He will be living at The Encouragement House while he looks for a job and takes classes to pursue his dream of becoming a firefighter.  We are all excited for Jared as he pursues his dream but we all share a common sadness at the same time as we will definitely feel his loss at our home.  The babies will miss his playful manner and the rest of us will miss his involvement in our lives as Jared always seems to be in the midst of all the activies we participate in as a family.  His friends will miss him as well. 

We are excited to have him living at The Encouragement House.  He will be a great asset there to the ministry of Encouarge One Another.  It is our prayer for him that he will quickly get established with a job, make new friends and settle in to school again after taking a semester off.  Would you please join us in praying for him?  This past Saturday we threw a Going Away Party for him with many of his friends and family giving a final hug and a last good-bye to him.  It was a great night of hanging out with him and enjoying time spent visiting around the fire and playing volleyball.  We love you Jared and will miss you in Fort Wayne but are so glad that we will have you at The Encouragement House.

 Volleyball all afternoon.


We will miss you Uncle Jared.
