Update/Niagara Falls pics

Sorry for the delay in updates! I spent a week on vacation with my brother and sister-in-law in Chesapeake, VA and didn't get a lot of stuff done!

I just got back to Pittsburgh tonight. I am looking forward to a good night's rest! It has certainly been a busy past few weeks! Lots of traveling!

I had a great time with Dan and Jen in VA! It was so fun to be able to spend some time with them :)

From their place, I headed up to Syracuse, NY for a meeting on Sunday. That went really well! The folks there were wonderful and I enjoyed a great time of fellowship!

Today I stopped by Niagara Falls on my way back to Pittsburgh. I hadn't been there since I was little, and I thought it would be neat to see it again.

When I got there, I decided to go on the Maid of the Mist boat ride which takes you down by the base of the falls. That was really cool! It was kind of like boating through a giant sprinkler system! It was literally an awesome sight/experience! God's creation is so amazing!

I'll be here in the Pittsburgh area for the rest of the week - I'm planning on spending the 4th of July with family!

Thanks again for those of you who have been praying for me - especially with the many miles of driving in the past few days! I appreciate it!

Have a great week!

North Carolina

Just a quick update!

I am presently in Greensboro, NC. I drove down from Pittsburgh on Monday. It was a longer drive, but uneventful! And I didn't get too tired, so that's a real plus!
It really was a beautiful drive - lots of mountains/great views (but don't worry, mom, I kept my eyes on the road - almost always!)

I have really been enjoying the conference here! (I am at Family Fellowship Week with my mission board - World Wide New Testament Baptist Mission)
The messages have been so challenging and encouraging! The theme is "Earnestly Contend for the Faith."
It has also been great to see people again - to build and strengthen friendships.

The conference runs through Thursday night. Then Friday, Lord willing, I will be heading over to the Virginia Beach area to visit my brother and sister-in-law for the week! I am looking forward to seeing them again!

That's all for now!
Have a great night!

Some Stuff

I apologize for the delay in updating this thing! I'll try to briefly summarize what's been going on since my last post.

My meetings have been great, traveling has been good, fellowship has been sweet! I've been mostly in the Pittsburgh area, but I did travel east to the Philadelphia area last week.

Car information: Thanks to my Uncle and his family, my car no longer leaks oil! That is a huge blessing! So now it is running extra smoothly - though I dare say it could probably use a trip to the car wash :) I might try and get that done tomorrow!

Music stuff: I've been able to put some good time in on my saxophones - and have enjoyed being able to use them often while ministering in churches. I am hoping to get an arrangement or two done for the soprano sax within the next several weeks.
I am also working on writing a song for my sister. Please pray that that will go well!

Today was a beautiful day, so I took my bike up to North Park and did the trail around the lake. Afterwards I was able to make some balloon animals/hand out wordless book bracelets for a few kids at the playground there. I was also able to talk with their mother and give her a bridge tract.

Well, I think that's about it for now! Have a super day! And keep your eyes on the Lord - He gives the strength to make it through each and every day!
