Trip to Kentucky and Michigan

At long last, in late July, I was able to visit Ben in KY. Here I am enjoying the scenery on the drive out.

Bowling with Friends

On Friday evening Stephen and I went with our friends, Kurt O'Connell and Mark McLaughlin, to Bowlerama in Rutland. It was our first time bowling. What a blast!!! This is Kurt above.

Demolishing Strongholds Study

Every Thursday evening since late April, we've been hosting a study for local young people called "Demolishing Strongholds" - a curriculum produced by Answers in Genesis. I'm the "group leader" (can you believe it!!!!).


It has been a very good study. Everyone seems to enjoy it (at least they keep coming back!) and new people show up occasionally.


I've enjoyed every minute of our time together. I will miss it badly when the study comes to an end. Thanks everyone for coming!
