Long Time No Post

Greetings all - hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Sorry not to have written more the last few days, but I am guessing you all have been busy with the holidays, as well.
We had a good Christmas - with a little bit of snow - so it was technically a White Christmas.
It is good having Caleb around for a few days. Been watching a lot of movies, eating a lot of food, doing a little work, playing some games, and for the most part just enjoying the gang - minus Sarah - sniff sniff.
Because of a picture or two on the last post - 2008 Wicker Year in Pics - posting any pictures of the girls without their prior permission has been forbidden - Ha! Censorship, not always a bad thing, not always a good thing.
Anyway, here are a couple of pre-approved photos from the holidays.
We love and miss you all

Tim for the gang

High Priest of Hinkson

No, you have not traveled back in time to ancient Israel!

For their Bible project this year, Rachel and her friend Amanda made this High Priest outfit.
Rach and Amanda worked long and hard and the results are amazing.
Mr. Clarke, long-time Bible teacher at Hinkson, said that it was the BEST Bible project ever, and the only project that he ever wanted to keep and use in the future.
Not only did the girls learn about the High Priest, his role and function, they also learned how to use a sewing machine.

We are so proud!

Chuvash Videos

It's that time again for Southern Baptists - LMCO - or Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
This annual offering for international missions allows us and more than 5000 others to serve the Lord throughout the world.

This week has been a busy one. Marc Hooks and I have been trying to get some video promotion pieces ready for you and your churches to use as you pray and give and think about joining us in the work overseas.

We got a lot done and the fruit of our labor can be seen at www.engagerussia.org
There you can see some of the videos on the Chuvash People of Russia.
There you can follow the links to download these videos and handouts for use in your churches.
There you can learn more about how to join us as we seek to Engage Russia with the Good News.

Even if you don't plan to use them in your churches, I would encourage you to check this site out, watch the videos and pray together with us for the work among the Chuvash people. The site is brand new and under constant revision - so bookmark it and follow along.

Today is Saturday, a day off, a day planned with the family - glad for it -
S'Bogum
