REVIVAL SERVICES

It has been too many weeks since I have updated this blog. It was certainly not because nothing was happening; but, rather, because so much was happening. We had scheduled the revival services with Reverend Melvin Beecher and his wife for this last weekend, and we had much to do to get ready. We always enjoy their company and beg them to come to visit us whenever they get in South Dakota, and they are special people that we have known since our 'young years.' Kay Beecher is a deep, but fun, person to be around; and we share many interests (sometimes that interest is walking along a beach and gathering curious rocks or interesting driftwood, and sometimes it is sewing a project or just talking about life lessons or the Bible). Her husband is very patient when he is surprised by objects stowed in the back of their van.

A few people responded to the revival services, and we were happy for each one who came. We did not sit alone in any of the services; and one man was especially and openly seeking after God. A church in Michigan helped to make it possible for us to give the Beechers an offering, and we appreciate their generosity to them.

Today was a good day, though the children were extremely lively. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but Ray and I sometimes come home pretty tired after a day like this. Today is the first time we have had to stop part way home and take a nap in the car to make it home. :)

We plan to make a trip to Indiana to visit our daughter Leah and her husband and our two granddaughters in this coming week. Included in the plans is a trip to Michigan with my sister who lives in Indiana to have a 'sisters' day' with all four of my sisters. I am anticipating that time, also. I hope to give you an update on that trip next time.

Thank you for your interest in Lower Brule, and may God Bless You!!
