We are moving....the process continues. The set date to move to our new home (transition) is Tuesday. We are just about ready. Everyone came by today after church for chicken again and time to gather around our table as family one more time here on Oakmont. We missed Joe, he's feeling under the weather and we hope and pray he gets well soon. Love you Joe.



22 years ago when we began here we buried a time capsule. I had the bright idea to dig it up today and see just how much things have changed. Only one problem.....we failed to map out where we buried it!!!! We've dug up a large part of our side and still no capsule. I have faith it will "show up." Victor decided to go and buy a metal detector and still no luck.



Think of us on Tues...it is bittersweet. Tony, Tony turn around, something is lost and can't be found.:)

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
