Life...

Well, this week was profitable. I recieved a phone call for a piano student. She will start this week.And i do have 3 other potential students. So, hopefully they will sign up with me soon! I really do need other students and maybe a part time job too. So, if you would add that to the prayer list, I would really appreciate it.
Yesterday we had a great surprise! Our friends Mike and Kelly were going to be in the area and we were able to meet up with them for lunch. It was good to be with friends and around familiar faces. So any of the rest of you reading this blog are also welcome to visit.
These past few weeks I have had the wonderful opportunity to have my mom here with me. She came from oversees and helped us move and get settled here in our new community. She has been a wonderful encouragement to me and it is just so nice to have my mom home with me for a few weeks.
Hope all is well in the blogging world. I've felt a little out of touch with everyone since we don't have internet at our home. So, that's why you haven't gotten to many comments on your blogs. We usually run to Big Apple Bagel or Panera Bread to jump online. It will probably be like this for quite a while too. So, don't think that we aren't reading your blogs and emails. It just takes us a little long to respond. So, until I get the next chance to jump on the internet....hope everyone has a great week.

Pictures from moving

Well, i finally got some pictures to put on the web for all to see. We are doing well and surviving. The first picture is all of us (tom's parents and my mom) having our first meal in the townhouse. The following pictures are of moving day with all the boxes. We were so thankful for Jessie, Doug, and Mike who offered to not only help us out in packing up the moving truck, but they also followed us across the state to help unload our truck too. We could not have done it without them, and are so thankful for the great friends God has given to us.

Wombish???

In our hunt for a good church here in our area, we are running across all different kinds of churches. Our first sunday was spent at a church we like to call "Depression Baptist." It was so discouraging that is made you want to run out of the place. They were facing many difficulties there with money and the pastor got up and talked about it for quite a while. Anyway... for our evening service we went to another churdch that was much better and was more like a church we might go to.
This past sunday we decided to go to a church that we had heard so much about from friends. It was one of those types of churches that you see on tv with their rock band and people waving their hands in the air. Well, Tom and I had never gone to anything like that before agreed that it would be quite an experience for us. I couldn't understand how so many people at one time in their building. Well, it was eye opening to say the least. Every part of the service was so shallow. The music was so repetitive and we wondered how many verses they wou ld sing to this song we'd never heard of. We got to the message and learned about how we could be "wombish." Yes, that's right...he said, "wombish." You may ask yourself what on earth does that mean? And i would ask the same question along with you. I guess it meant something about providing a safe and secure environment for others. (???) Not quite sure what the point of the message really was, but I sure do remember this word. We walked out of there shaking our heads and wondering how people could be so blind. But they just want their ears to be tickled wit the message they want to hear.
So, the search continues.... So far we've found one church we could go to. And that church looks more andmore like the one we might go to. Continue to pray with us that the Lord would make it clear where we should join in membership.
