Fireworks and Rusty Nails
















I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!
I spent the holiday with family in Leechburg, PA. I had a great time with them :)
One unfortunate event of the weekend: I was wading in the creek with my cousins (catching crawdads and minnows, etc) when we decided to cross over this old covered bridge. Unfortunately, I stepped on a rusty nail - which went through my flip-flop/into my foot. I had to go in on Monday morning to get a tetnus shot/meds. Never a dull moment! :)
I visited my aunt/uncle's church on Sunday - and got to give a brief testimony in the deaf Sunday School class (my aunt/uncle are both deaf).
On Wednesday I drove down to Fairmont, WV for a service there. I gave my testimony, etc. to the adults and then was able to go talk with the kids in their summer program. I enjoyed my time with them!
I am back up in the Pittsburgh area now. I'll be giving my presentation at my other aunt/uncle's church here on Sunday.
Then in a week I will, Lord willing, be heading out to Maryland for a meeting there. I also am planning a biking trip into D.C. while I'm out that way :)
After that, I have one more meeting out this way before I'll be heading home!
I appreciate your continued prayers!

When the Rains Descend

When the Rains Descend
Go ahead and grab your umbrella, because in life, there will be times when you journey through the storms. You see, in this world in which we live, the rains will fall. That is a guarantee. Trials will come - and they are going to come to everyone. Just because you are a Christian, don't think for a moment that life is going to be easy. There will still be pain, sorrow, and heartache. The good news, however, is that, as a Christian, you do not have to weather these storms alone. You have a solid foundation in Christ.

When the Rains Descend is a collection of poems written to be an encouragement to you as you face the downpours of life. May you rest in the Lord and grow closer to Him day by day.
