On the family side, Martha
and Philip have moved to Virginia to be near his parents. Martha will begin looking for a nursing job
after Christmas. Christy continues to
grow. David and Andrea took her on her
first camping trip last week to the shores of Broken Bow Lake in SE Oklahoma. Sara took a long weekend trip to Phoenix to
visit a friend and Jonathan has made several out of state trips recently. But the biggest news belongs to Hannah.
This week, Hannah got officially
engaged to Daniel Kelogg. Wedding date
is March 25. Daniel is from Tennessee
and is finishing his Master’s degree in Public History this month. He works at the George Ranch where Hannah also
works, at least until the end of this week.
Hannah was selected to be the new manager of the Sauer-Beckmann Farm on
the LBJ State Park and Historic Site, near Frederiksberg, Texas. Visitors can tour the working farm and experience
life as it was in the early 1900’s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=78HWqzout3c Hannah will be a level 3 Texas Park Ranger
which is rare to see for someone still in her 20’s.
On the ministry side, a 3-day
pastor’s retreat will keep me busy next week.
Then come Thanksgiving and the Christmas season which always fills my
calendar with speaking opportunities and ministry events. www.Blessings.ph
will be giving away Christmas gifts to needy children beginning in early
December. Discipleship training, a BOOST
graduation, and a reunion of former BOOST graduates will also be coming up in
the next few weeks.
President Trump is in the
Philippines today, ending his Asian tour.
North Korea remains a threat. The
news is full of sex scandals. Government
corruption continues to be exposed. In a
world full of uncertainties and turmoil, Jesus remains our solid rock, our
refuge, our peace… even for men in their 60’s!

Mark, take heart! I'll be 82 next month!!! Been a senior citizen "forever"!!! But, know what you mean. Each decade presents its own challenges and I want to wish for you the very best. Your children have done so well as have ours. I am so thankful that we moved from Athens to Atlanta 3 1/2 years ago to be nearer our sons and daughters-ion-law. Miss my sweetheart so very, very much but will join him someday just as you will join Jan. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas season.
