Oh yeah, we went to Ireland.
Did I forget to mention that Robin & I went to Ireland? Oooh yeah! Very nice! We were so blessed to be able to go on a shoestring budget. Really. How much? Well, we got plane tickets (we didn't fly together- long story), a vacation house (Really nice! Good job Robin), a rental car, food, and some spending money for less than $1000. TA DA! What a blessing!
Anyway, you can see a whole bunch of pictures here...

Come one, come... ...not all, but a good many!
Man, has it been a long time since I updated xanga, or what? It has been a loooong few months, but Robin & I are happy to announce the Conroe House of Prayer is ready! ALMOST all of the work has been completed, and the downstairs area is hosting our first "un-official" event this weekend, Saturday 7/7/07. We will have worship, fellowship, beverages, etc...
The photos won't tell the whole story, but you'll get a good idea as to what it looks like now.
Conroe House of Prayer News
Thanks for all your prayers & support through this long (10+ month) project. The prayers have been what got us through.
In other news, the kids are fantastic, & growing like banana trees. They're not really weeds, but they are kinda fruity, so that's the reference for the banana tree thing. They get that from their mother. What? It might be true!
Ok, check out the picture, from around Thanksgiving time last year. So joseph had this Napoleon Gangsta thing going. kinda funny....

Great is Thy faithfulness, oh Lord!!
Well, it's been a productive time at the CHOP! We replaced the entire center support beam & columns in the room! Let me just say that it was some SERIOUS work, of which I did very little! many thanks to Mr. Jackie Hales for his amazing, quick, bargain priced, donated, precise work! His skills in lifting an entire ceiling, floor & roof of a 100 year old building astounded me. Our floor upstairs is now safe, and the ceiling is straight. The roof drained off like crazy with just the first small movement, and I'd love to have seen it when they made the final push! We raised the floor 6 & 1/2" upstairs back to level!!! Amazing work!
We are now set for sheetrock work & walls to go in. Next step though is the Elec. drop. Should go much easier now that it's level.
On a completely different note, many thanks to my beautiful wife for her well planned birthday party. She said she couldn't let this one (yes, it's a BIG one!) go without a party. I'm not big on b-day parties for myself, but this went very well. She planned a disc golf tournament with some friends from church who play, and it was mellow enough to enjoy the day. Kudos dear, kudos!
in case you wondered, I'll be 40 this week. baaaaaahhh
Oh, you're only as old as you feel... double baaaahhhhhhhh
Have a great day folks!

Many Thanks!!
Thank you to ALL who came out to help last weekend. We did much, but there is soooo much left to do. We tore down walls, we smashed plumbing, we ripped up floor tile, we took out plaster, and then we had breakfast.
No, really. We had doughnuts throughout the day, so we ate breakfast, then breakfast, and again, breakfast.
With all that sugar, I'm not sure how much more we could have possibly done. We filled that HUGE dumpster up, and then some!
Thanks again!!!
