An Evening With Family

My Bubba Steve's son Victor and daughter Deidre are going away to college in a few days. We had an informal family gathering at Dad's barn Saturday night to send them off. Although it was only a couple of hours it was very good to relax with most of my immediate family and a few others.

Since Dad built his new barn a few years ago it has become the focal point of family gatherings. He built a long porch down the side of it and a nice fire ring several feet out from it. He keeps the interior very clean and the whole package makes a very nice place to spend time.

Uncle Jerry and Aunt Garnetta (My Dad's sister) are up from Florida and it was good to see them. All my growing up years they lived about a mile through the field from us but since they retired to Florida we are not able to see them very much. Aunt Garnetta is a singing machine! She and Uncle Jerry did a lot of the singing in the church I grew up in.

McKenzie and Lisa were at Dodds when we pulled in Saturday afternoon. It was good to see them! Thanks for the welcome, girls!

Homecoming in Sharonville, Ohio

It is always nice to be invited to preach special services in our home area. I appreciate Pastor Randy Brown inviting us to sing and preach the Homecoming service at Sharonville Free Holiness Church of God in Sharonville, Ohio. We had a wonderful time. The fellowship was great, the meal was superb and two were saved in the Homecoming service. It does not get much better than that!

Bro. Brown and I went to school together in Waynesville so we have known each other most of our lives. He is doing a great job pastoring and God is honoring his work there in Sharonville. It was a blessing to be there Sunday morning with them and their fine church.

Sunday night I preached at our home church, Dryden Rd. Pentecostal Church, and had a great time. It is ALWAYS good to be home. As I mentioned the other day we are really looking forward to Dryden Rd. Indoor Campmeeting coming up August 21-24. It will be here before you know it.

I hope you enjoy the pictures from the Homecoming service Sunday morning.
