Lots of stuff going on here. I had a PSA test this week, but haven't received the report yet. The Dr said it should drop from my previous 15 down to about 8. After a year it should be 4 and then another year should be down to 1 or 2. I asked him if that was a guarantee. He said he wasn't sure he'd be around that long. I should have said more but I didn't.
I sent a letter to our district ministers a week or so ago explaining my concerns regarding the direction of our Fellowship--our tendencies away from our traditional Grace Brethren Statement of Faith. Many of our National Boards now include men other than Brethren with the reservation that the Brethren would always be a majority. Our district ministerial meetings now include many persons that have not been licensed or ordained. I have a problem with that.
And we recently accepted a new church plant with another pending that could create some interesting situations. Maybe they'll just ask me to go home and retire.
And Mom just recieved a note from Kathy D regarding their son-in-law, Joel, [married Kristen]who may have lymphoma. Please pray for them.
The Awana Grand Prix will be held in March at our church. We always have an adult division that Jon and I have always been involved in--and with very good success. Last year I made a generic sedan that blew apart when it crossed the finish line. The action was all the result of a mouse trap inside the car. It worked real well. I made a red coupe for mom to race. We each have a car to race. I'll see if I can find some pictures.
Jon has always, or often puts lights in or around his cars. He makes a car for each of the girls and Annette and always -almost always-wins the speed division.
This year we will both have cars that shoot flash paper out the exhaust pipe when crossing the finish line. We've already started working on them. I will have a dump truck with an exhaust pipe behind the cab. A micro switch on the bottom of the cars is 
activated at the finish line. And all of this has to be 5 ounces or less. My truck is already getting close to the maximum. A coat of paint could put it over the top. Then I do have problems.

Did you get a response from the district ministerium?
I have been waiting since Jan 8 for you to post. And now you have.
I have just gotten done blog surfing and reading "STUFF"-
Am I to simple-minded? I am so hungry just to go read my Bible. I think sometimes we forget to read the Bible and get distracted with others opinions. Are you disappointed I didn't marry a GBC pastor? I know I have been GBC since Ireland selling pots and pans and I am SO THANKFUL for my heritage, BUT, Daddy I am so thankful God allowed me to marry Scott. He makes me think, challenges me to study and always brings it back to God's word. I told Mom on the phone I am glad He has allowed us to be in an independent church. We are not perfect-we dont have all the answers-but we have the Bible and we focus presenting a clear gospel message-Christ died for our sins and Christ arose-that is my passion. He died for me-a wretched sinner saved by grace....Amazing grace-oh how sweet the sound.
I love you Dad and thank you so much for teaching me God's word...
Praying for you -that God will give you wisdom.
