The Diem Decemberly

A few teens from a church youth rally I spoke at really wanted me to come and preach at the chapel of their Christian school. Teens want to be challenged and I believe are capable of grasping and applying deeper things of the faith. Not so much as giving them the "benefit of the doubt" but believing that the Spirit that is in me has taken permanent residence in them. Not by pushing them into a place where they don't want to be, but talking about pursuing God, reaching for your full potential in Christ and knowing both the consequence of sin and the joy of obedience. I really enjoy the high school age group, but because of the snow we will have to wait until April.


- The beginning of this month Steve was able to spend a Saturday in the white mountains with his brother in law Ryan. The air temperature was frigid but the views at the top of Mt. Hancock were spectacular.


- We chopped down a tree, strapped it to the top of our van and put it in our living room.


- On December 9th we went to Free Baptist Church, Waterboro ME. This is the second time I have had the opportunity to share God's Word with the saints in Waterboro during the Sunday school and Sunday morning hour. It was a great to see familiar faces and to encourage and be encouraged. Someone left this verse on my seat : Psalm 138:7 "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me.."


- On the way home we liked Maine so much Steve took us 1/2 hr north on the turnpike instead of south.

- On December 15-16 we are going to Haven of Rest Baptist Church, West Haven CT. We look forward to spending time with the Pastor and his wife on Saturday night, but there may or may not be a church service in the morning depending on the weather. This is Becky's best friend's church, who also is Becky. Our last meeting in November we were at the church of Becky's parents old pastor from RI who now serves in ME. Every weekend I ask Becky, "So let's see who you know this week."


- Dad and Josiah built a snow man and a fort with a tunnel.

- Becky just finished her class on Theology Proper and sent in her take home final today!
