July 2014 Update

July 2014

 

Belated Greetings From Texas

           Some of you may have noticed we missed sending a letter out in June. We apologize, it was the 2nd time in 15 years we missed a month.  We have had some extenuating circumstances recently. We appreciate your understanding and grace.

FamilyLife has agreed to let us continue working in our current capacity while living somewhere other than Little Rock. We moved to Little Rock 14 years ago from the Pacific Northwest. It has been a wonderful transition for us. However, both of our sons and their families have now relocated to Texas. With no other family in the Little Rock area we knew we would not want to stay there long term.

So, we put our home up for sale after Easter. It sold in two days with a closing date of May 30th. We were not able to find and purchase a home in such a short time so we put all our things into a Penske truck and hauled them to San Antonio and put them in storage.

Yep, we’re moving to San Antonio. We will now only be a couple of hours away from our sons instead of a full day’s drive. Since we look at this as our final move we made sure we are in an area with all the goods and services we’ll need. There are plenty of things for our family to do when they come to visit. (We’re hoping grandchildren will still want to come visit even when they are teenagers.) That goes for all of you as well. We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in the Northeast section of San Antonio. So feel free to contact us if you care to come visit.

Though we will be working quite a few of the Texas Weekend To Remember events we may also fly out to some of the other locations across the country as well. We will certainly make an effort to get back to the Northwest on a regular basis since we have family there and a large percentage of our supporters along with our sending church.

When not working events we will continue our normal office responsibilities but will do them from Texas. We feel so blessed that FamilyLife has allowed us to work from home!

Our house does not close until August 1st. Consequently we have been staying with our sons and their wives. They have been most gracious to support us during the transition. Instead of staying too long at one house we are staying too long at both homes!

Here is an update from our final spring event in Austin June 6-8. We had 449 in attendance and 26 salvations!  Here are a couple of comments from the event:

I really thought we were at a breaking point in our marriage.  This has helped show us there are more ways, and our marriage serves a bigger purpose for each other, rather than the selfishness we get wrapped up in.

The event provided clarity, direction, and ways to apply the information.  It was a gut-check to step up as a man.  Sex session was amazing.  Even my wife really enjoyed the info, too.
