Ecuador mission trip

Here's a video from the group that went to Ecuador last year.   This is just some of what we will be doing when we go in July to minister to the children in some of Ecuador's orphanages.  The children's faces will bring a tear to your eye.

Easter



Happy Easter!  He has risen, He has risen indeed!

We arrived home from vacation on Saturday night and drove straight through from Port Canaveral to South Carolina  so we could be at our church for Easter Sunday.   Since we were gone the week before Easter we didn't dye eggs, didn't decorate the house and we didn't even do an Easter egg hunt on Sunday!  This is unheard of.  But I was just too tired to fool with any of it.  And you know what?  It was kind of nice.  We all got up on Sunday morning and did our resurrection eggs and had a nice day at church celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus.  The Easter bunny did pay a little visit and left the kids some candy though.  Like we need more sugar after being on the cruise and having soft serve ice cream available 24/7.  Not good people......not good.  Anyway,  I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter!

John's cool trip


 The inside of the plane


 Refueling

John recently went on a trip that enabled him to fly on a plane (don't ask me what kind-- I have no idea) with the Air National Guard from Charlotte to Alabama, participate in team building activities, eat at the Officer's Club for dinner and then take a 5 hour flight back home and refuel a plane in mid-air.  He loved it to say the least!  Glad he liked it because that is definitely not my cup of tea!
