It was a good day at StoneBridge yesterday with several new faces, great giving, and a good spirit in the gathering. Song of Solomon is going to be a tough series, but a much needed one.
The biggest drawback to living in WV is the gray, wet weather that is so common this time of year. If you could combine the beauty and cool summers in WV with the sunshine in Arizona, you'd have paradise.
Ryan's basketball team is 8-0. They played another team from their school Saturday and won 20-2. Two games to go, and I'll say it now, they're not gonna lose. (unlike the Cheatriots :)
So glad the Giants beat the wicked regime of Bill Bellicheat and the Bradiots. Down with the dynasty talk. The Cowboys are still the greatest NFL franchise of all time, and their 90's Super Bowl teams (who didn't lose when they got to the big game) would run these boys off the field.

A Special Day
Yesterday was a really awesome day that I can't really put into words. My Mom and Dad, and Belinda's Dad came into town before the weekend to see my son Ryan baptized yesterday. We spent Friday and Saturday camping at Spruce Knob Lake which I'll post about later.
Yesterday my Dad preached at our church for the first time, encouraging us to build a church Jesus's way, found in John 4. He disected how Jesus had compassion for the Samaritan woman and how he interacted with her to bring her to the Truth. Two teenagers indicated that they accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior yesterday! Our good friends Bill and Becky Williams came over from Inwood along with their daughter Christie Tucker and her son Andrew. They are our "West Virginia family", so it was great to have them join us yesterday.
After the service, we headed to White Day Creek for our baptism service. This is the second time we have had a baptism service here (Memorial Day 2005). I can't really put into words how it felt to baptize Ryan. He accepted Christ in September after his 1st grade teacher shared the gospel with her class. Linda Morris will always have a special place in our hearts for what she has done for Ryan this year in class. Hillery Chadderton was also baptized yesterday. She is truly a dynamo who is turning the world upside down for Jesus.
Here are some pics from the day.

West Virginia Highlands Snow Trip
Today I took the crew to Blackwater Falls State Park and Canaan Valley for a fun day in the snow, including a 2 hour tubing session this afternoon. Over the last two days, the Thomas/Davis/Canaan Valley area received 20 inches of new snow! We had an awesome time, and Ryan and Janna enjoyed their first tubing expedition ever.
