Break's Over...Back to Work!


Washing Grandma's car...a family tradition!

Tammy and Ashlyn with Neena!

Two huge commercial kitchen appliances!

Heavy dudes (the appliances that is!)...one about 480 lbs. and the other 400 lbs!

Bathroom partitions...



Got showers!




Temporary walls came down...

Stove has to go in the kitchen...



Since coming back from Spring Break I've been busy catching up on lots of things around CFA! (Why is it when you go away you've got to work twice as hard to make up the ground that you lost when you were gone....oh well, it's all good!)

Last blog entry I was in Missouri on Spring Break. We had a blast! Got to spend time with my mother and also my oldest son who is a sophomore at Evangel University. While on his campus we were able to stop by Dr. Spence's brand new office and and also the new board room. Wow...impressive! What a beautiful building to finalize the campus' long-term building plans. The last of the hospital barracks will soon be torn down. What an amazing journey this university has had over the last 20 years or so.

On Sunday we had a great day. I preached a strong message entitled, "The Stark Reality of Sin" in the morning service. God has been speaking to us about holiness, righteousness, purity and standing clean before a Holy God. You can listen to this message here by clicking on the sermon title above. Watch out...it just might hurt...but you need to hear this!

Then I chaired two committee meetings in the next couple of days. Trying to stay on target and stay on task with all the duties and responsibilities. I have great supporting team members who are running with the vision. BIG THINGS are just up the road. The CFA Vision for 2009 cheers us on: This is the Year to Rebound!! Praise God for His encouragement and motivation.

Today was mostly spent with assignments connected to the flood rebuilding project. Lots of items to take care of on Wednesday. Happy for what the Lord has helped me to accomplish. I hope to be able to give you the date soon for the return to utilizing our Regional Worship Center. Lord willing, you'll either hear about it in church on Sunday or in my next blog posting.

I've included some new updated pictures for you to get a glimpse of how things are shaping up around CFA. Would you believe I'm having problems again with our carpet company? The carpet that we received from the mill was defective so they are working to resolve it. Plus, the installers are giving me fits too! What is it with my carpet company? Are they all like this? Grrrrrhhhhhh!!

Continue to pray and believe with us that we will dedicate our Regional Worship Center on June 7th DEBT FREE!! We're still praying. We're still trusting our Great God. Miracles still come in all shapes and sizes. Just this week we received a check from friends in Colorado. Thank you Lord for promising to take care of this huge need! Yes, All things are possible with God!

Please enlist in this faithful army of concerned and compassionate Christians who are helping us reach the promise the Lord gave to us! You can contribute online at our church website or send it to our church office address: CFA, 2100 10th Street, Columbus, IN 47201. Thanks so much!

Gotta go...I'm getting hungry...been a long day!

Love to all!
