2011
This year has been something else. We are trying to survive but it's not been easy. Haven't done a lot of writing or submitting. I can't believe I haven't even posted on LiveJournal It's been over ten months since my last entry. Wow! I really enjoy LJ even though I rarely use it.
Tomorrow is a big day. We have church in the morning and then we go to the nursing home for our weekly worship there. We've been doing that as part of our local church planting work for about three years now. The residents are so thankful each and every week that we're there. My son has learned to be a servant there. If it's not pushing someone back to their room, it's hugging a woman who loves children. my son has learned to be of service even if it means hugging someone back, that's mighty remarkable.
Then, tomorrow night, it's back to a different church we attend and then for a small group of for our ministry which is called Zach's House. Tomorrow, we might meet our friend Pete's new girlfriend. Pete is a man I counseled last year twice a week as part of his parole. He was actually in prison for murder but only received a seven year sentence. He was active with one of our small groups for a while, drifted away and a couple weeks ago called us up and said he missed us and wanted to get back together again. God is great.
Now if only I could get back on track with my picture book writing and find a way to get back our health insurance and continue the good works God has placed in our path, the rest of 2011 will be a winner.
By the way, if any of you know any picture buyers for magazines who may need some stock photos, please send them to my photo research site. All monies from there go toward our ministry, St. Jude's and the Mayo Clinic. Thanks.
