I don't bring this up to make a political statement but rather to ask us to consider who we are allow to decide what we endorse. I want to challenge us all to determine right here and now that no one decides that but us! I am not going to allow Hollywood or politics or popular opinion determine what I give my endorsement. I decide that through the wisdom of God's Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit! No one but God has my autopen!

The Flowers and Showers of Spring
This year is really flying by! We had so many great things going on in April and May, way more than showers and flowers! Although we have definitely had our share of showers!

Life Long Friends
The conference was a real blessing. Bryan Jerod was our keynote speaker and he truly came with a word from God! His message on Monday night was about the role of patience in our lives and how the lack of patience is really paganism! It demonstrates a lack of trust in God and a desire to be in control. Ouch!
Our lifelong friend, Gary Sapp was awarded his 50-year ordination pin. We are so thankful for Gary and Dee. They have been such great friends and they have been so supportive of our ministry from the very beginning. Gary was one of the very first ones to recognize the call of God on my life and God used him to open some very significant doors for us. He gave me oppertunities to play when I first started out in music ministry. He introduced me to Pastor Linney who hired me to be his Youth Pastor here in Lafayette. He got me started speaking at camps and conventions in the 90's. He encouraged me to get involved in Presbytery work. His finger prints are all over the ways God has used my life and ministry through the years and I am so grateful!

Marching Through March
We always have Beau Roy barbecue some of his famous pull pork and Chef Troy from Cafe Josephine's will fry up fish and shrimp. The guys absolutely LOVE the event and many will invite friends and family members to join them. This year I brought in my cousin, Rusty Blan to speak at the event as well as our Sunday morning services. He did an amazing job! We also draw names at the event for some great door prizes including the grand prize every year, which is a shotgun!
I have always been grateful for a wonderful board of directors, however I have NEVER been as grateful as I was this past year with the many challenges our church faced. Our board was such a blessing and so supportive. I don't know how I could have made it through all the difficulties without their covering. God is so good!
