STEVE AND MISSY

Here's the shot I couldn't get on yesterday.


Mr. Long gave it to me and it may just be too large.


But enjoy!







Sorry these Worship Concert posts are backwards.
Start down at the beginning of July 19 for more clarity.

AS THE SUN SETS

It was glorious to hear
His praises raised surrounded
by His beautiful creation.

The music was wonderful
and the Message was crucial




We are so thankful







Missy and John










Two more things that
we are so grateful for!

MISSY AND STEVE AND THE TANKER

WOW

Great Picture Pastor Dave/Dad

BECAUSE FAITH IS HER MIDDLE NAME

Janelle F. Gmitter

She is one of the sweetest people I know.

She is sharing her faith and heart

with the folks that came to hear

the message of the gospel.

A CAPELLA MAGIC

WORSHIP CONCERT

We were up on the St. Lawrence River Sunday evening in Clayton, NY- watching our Dexter Faith Fellowship (www.dexterff.org) worship band hold a concert for their River Concert Series. It was beautiful. I couldn't get any of the pictures to load on yesterday's post, so let's give them more space...a post they can call home.

Here are Jere, Steve, Jessie Brown, Nellie and THE MAN: Dave Southcott.

And a shot of our amazing drummer...

Kate Newtown

Missing:

Mrs. (THE MAN) Nicole Southcott (Violin!) and Becka Richter (Piano) who did a set later with Janelle and Kate.

And Mr. Tim Brown who featured Tom Maxon in his set (on his amazing Digerie-doo), as well as his sister Jessica on vocals and piano.

SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER TO START THE WEEKEND ON THURSDAY...

Hellooooo...

I know. I am sorry. I am so remiss in my posting. I found the post started about my hospital stay in the drafts so I polished it up and sent it out to the ring - so to speak. I don't expect it to get much more than a E for Effort, but I do so hate incompletes.

The next thing I should catch you up on is John's near tragedy while haying last Friday. He was riding in the front end of a tractor bucket when it came loose and dumped him and two friends out. The other two were thrown clear, mostly, but John was run over by the front tire, leaving cool tread marks on his right upper thigh. The bucket was less than 6 inches from the ground then as it passed over his upper torso, leaving a 20" long scrape up his entire left side. It starts around by his kidney and ends above his rib. It is worthy of a pirate, I tell you. If you have any desire to see it, you'll only need ask, and he'll lift his teeshirt up quicker than something that's - well reaaaallly quick. The only lingering effect is his sore shoulder, which allows him now to predict squalls, thunderstorms or large flocks of herons and/or vultures moving through the neighborhood.

So, he's off farm duty for the time being, because as much as we can find the humor now, it was not a laughing matter, and we all know how differently it could have ended. Camp Shiloh stats soon anyway (July 30!), so he'll finish recovering down in Delta Lake.

We very much enjoyed a Missy visit this weekend. I have a picture from last night's Dexter Faith Fellowship Worship Band Concert up on the Saint Lawrence River, but it won't load. I'll try again tomorrow! It was of the set they did together, so I'll try to get it on soon. Now Missy's home and Steve and Sarah are off to Basketball Camp for the rest of this week. Steve's reffing, and Sarah's chasing balls and monitoring 12 years olds after bedtime, I expect. At least until Wednesday. Then she starts her camp. They'll be home on Saturday night!

We must run. John and I have an appointment out in the pool at 5PM!

Thanks for all of your prayers. I continue to improve!
