Hi all,
I haven't been on here in a long time! I've missed being here, but have been really busy. I am now the Senior Adult Pastor and Pastoral Care Director at our church which keeps me going.
My daughter and her husband have made Yvonne and me new grandparents for the first time - a grandson who they named Jacob Benjamin. Fortunately they live about half an hour from us so Yvonne makes sure we go up to see him every week.
Our ministry to the military also continues every weekend in Virginia Beach. We're actually waiting for some of our sailors to come over this evening. Praise God, isn't life fun! :)
And, oh, by the way, we are also babysitting a green parrot for a neighbor friend of ours. What a hoot that is! If we walk out of the room he says "Come here." We're trying to teach him how to say "praise the Lord." If we walk out of the room he will sqwak litke crazy! Yvonne will put the towel over his cage and you hear this little voice say "oh oh." Then, as we walk away he'll say in a tiny voice "Heeelp. Heeelp." Then he quiets right down.

Hi all,
It's been a while since I gave you an update on our weekend activities. So here is last weekend. We adopt all of the servicemen and women who come to our home as our own "sons" and "daughters" so naturally, when they get married and have children they become our adopted grandchildren. This is the latest - a granddaughter! :)
Saturday Evening (July 18, 2009)
We had Randy (Marine Cpl) and Nikki and little Sarah here visiting us for the weekend from Camp Lejeune North Carolina. It was fun making and eating home made pizzas and playing catch phrase with them and Savannah and Brandon (Oceana), and Trever (USS Gunston Hall). We all shared prayer requests and prayed together. Check out the new pics.
Sunday (July 19, 2009)
Had a great day today! Sunday school was good, the lesson was about about faith. Worship was excellent. Pastor Rodney preached about Satan wanting to sift us as wheat - don't let him! Then Savannah and Brandon (Oceana), Brian and Sarah (my daughter and son-in-law), and Randy (Marine – Camp Lejeune, NC) and Nikki and Sarah Mayzak enjoyed a pot roast, potatoes and carrots, followed with apple crisp and ice cream for dinner at our house. We watched two chapters of the book of Matthew on video. Then prayed for Randy and Nikki before they left for home.
All in all, a very good weekend! Thank you Lord!
Blessings on all of you,
John

Hi all~
Congratulations Angela to you and your son on his promotion!! What a blessing that your son's hard work is being recognized and he must be glad to receive this blessing!
Like you, I join in thanking the Lord for what he has done so far and what he's going to do. I realize that all things work together for him who loves the Lord. Praise God. Please pray for me and family that we come through with more praise and testimonies that delight Him!
Wagoner Family ~ you are doing a great ministry for our young sailors! Thank you and may the Lord richly bless you both!
Mrs. Francis ~ it is sooo nice to see you back online again! Haven't heard much from you in awhile but you seem to be well. Praise God!!

Saturday evening we ate hot dogs and drank root beer floats, then we played Attack Uno! with Savanah and Brandon (NAS Oceana) and Trever (USS Gunston Hall)! Savanah won the game! Then we went into the living room and just talked and visited. Then we shared prayer requests and prayed together. We were really surprised too! We got a telephone call from a former sailor, Sean, who we had not heard from in two years. That was a real treat! We are now friends on Facebook.

Great Sunday! Enjoyed Sunday School and the Morning Worship service at Azalea Garden Church. Pastor Vicker's sermon was was good, not an easy one to hear, but good. God doesn't always say yes when we pray. Sometimes He says no. I do love our altar services where we can pray and minister to each other after the service!
After church it was on to our house for dinner and fellowship. Trever (USS Gunston Hall) got called back in to work, but Savannah and Brandon (NAS Oceana) came over, and we also invited Erene, Bill, Julie, and Brantley from the Young Adult Group. So we had a really nice group. My daughter Sarah stopped by for a while too.

Just finished a great evening eating pizza and playing Phase 10 with Brandon and Savannah (NAS Oceana), Trever (USS Gunston Hall), David (USS Harry S. Truman), Brad (USS George Bush). By the end of the Phase 10 game I think we were all a little flaky! It was fun! We laughed a lot!! Check out the photos on our profile page if you like.

Saturday evening Yvonne and I and Nic (USS Carl Vinson) enjoyed an all you can eat buffet at Pizza Hut, playing 18 holes of miniature golf at Lynnhaven Golf Park (Virginia Beach), and ice cream at Dairy Queen. Fun evening!

Please pray for my son in his senior year of high school and his future plans for higher education. He seems to be unfocused and falling down somewhat and I'm concerned about him and his future. I believe the Lord has a mighty work for him to do so I ask my sisters here to pray for him to allow the Lord to use him and not be rebellious as many teens are. Thank you all for your prayers and may God bless you all.
