Out with the old....In with the new....look that is!!

Before any work was done...
Garage before
New roof put on garage
Shutters removed...house powerwashed to prepare for paint job
Paint job completed with doors painted dark blue...shutters (are ordered),

lights, mailbox, and numbers to be added yet.

We thank the Lord for providing the money for us to be able to do this. We also are thankful for our painter, Dylan, who did all the painting. He was so attentive to detail and wanted to do a good job. :) When we get the full new look totally finished, I'll have to post a picture of it as well. It shouldn't be too long.

An Anniversary Tribute to Mom and Dad....

Today we wish to congratulate my parents, Allen and Wilma, on 56 years together! You both have been a blessing to our family and we wish you many more years together. We also thank you for all the love and encouragement you've given us over the years. May God continue to bless you for many more years.

To celebrate this special day, we decided to meet Mom and Dad in Muskegon at Logan's Roadhouse for dinner.

At Logan's everyone has a huge bucket of peanuts in the shells on each table. The patrons are welcome to eat as many as they want and then throw their shells on the floor. They also serve warm made-from-scratch yeast rolls. Our food was delicious and our server, Eric, was great. No complaints whatsoever! :)
Normally, we don't have any room left for any dessert. However, they offered these "mini-bucket" desserts. They offered: strawberry cheesecake, hot fudge brownie, and Nutter Butter fudgeslide...YUM!! (We even got to keep the mini-buckets!)
All in all, we had a delicious dinner, wonderful fellowship, and just a really nice afternoon together before heading back home. Again, Congratulations, Mom and Dad! We love you very much!

Praise the Lord, Keith has Completed Another Summer at Freedom...

Keith has been blessed with the opportunity to be able to work here for a summer job doing maintenance for the last 16 out of 20 summers. This summer we are truly thankful for the hours he has been given. :)
Keith and Paul (the main Boss Man, who has been a blessing for Keith to work with all these years.) Paul has served the Lord by giving of his talents of maintaining the building and grounds of Freedom Baptist Schools for the last 19 years. Paul goes above and beyond the call of duty as the Chief Maintenance Man for Freedom.
Keith and his "Deere" ...JOHN DEERE

Keith has spend numerous hours on the "John Deere" mowing the ballfields as well as other lawn duties at the school. Along with the lawn duties, he has spent hours stripping and waxing tile floors, cleaning lights and heaters, and other "fun stuff" like that.

Thank you, Keith, for working so hard this summer. You have been working one full-time and two part-time cleaning jobs so that we can catch up on some financial obligations. You have always been willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, so to speak, when we have some things to be taken care of. Thank you for being such a blessing to our family and how you have been such a wonderful husband to me and a dad to Jessica. We truly are grateful to the Lord for blessing our family with your life. :)
