Transition Update...

Greetings, once again!  Life is clipping along at a fairly quick pace for us right now as many things are beginning to come to bear.  I was able to preach in chapel this morning and brought a message entitled "The Road to Change: A Song of Remembrance" from Deuteronomy 31.  It seemed that many of the students in the audience were very attentive, despite some technical difficulties early on.  PRAY that God will bless the message conveyed, and that it will be an instrument of change in the hearts and minds of those that heard it.  

David is off on a field trip today at the Korean Folk Village.  It's a place that is comparable to a place like Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, where people there are all dressed in traditionally tailored clothing and are tasked with showing visitors how things were done in the 'old days'.  The kids always have a great time.  Katherine went last week, and when she came back, Dulcy asked her where she went.  Katherine said, "...to the Korean Smoke Village...but I didn't smoke at all, Mommy!"  It brought a smile to our faces, to say the least.

A few points of interest from our last update:

1) Remember that our refrigerator was on the fritz and it cost us $190 to fix it?  Well, our headmaster, Rex Freel, was gone at his daughter's graduation from Liberty University when it happened.  Last night, Dulcy mentioned it in passing to Linda, Rex's wife, and both she and Rex said we shouldn't have had to pay for it to be fixed, since it belongs to the school.  So, we are going to be able to turn in the receipt to the school who will then reimburse the entire amount!  Praise the Lord!

2) In our last update, I believe I mentioned that we were looking into insurance for our two vehicles, and that Pastor Rushing was helping with his contacts with AAA.  My Dad, though, contacted me, and stated that we should also look into USAA, as he has been keeping our account with them open these past seven years.  So, I contacted USAA, and our insurance with them will be nearly half what is was going to be with AAA!  Praise the Lord!

3)  The $2500 check from Bethany Baptist has still not yet arrived.  We are currently looking into varying alternatives to rectify the situation.  Please PRAY that we will have wisdom in deciding what to do should the check not arrive soon, and that the check is safe, and has not fallen into the hands of the wrong people.

4)  I'm not aware of any decision that has or has not been  made concerning the house in Martinez and the situation there.  So, please just continue to PRAY that God's will be done, and that we will be patient in waiting for His will to come to fruition.

That's about it for now, I think.  Once again, thank you all so very much for all of your prayers and support.  The last couple of weeks have really been difficult on us, so please don't forget us in your prayers.  They TRULY make a difference.

In His Service,

Sam, Dulcy, Michael, David, and Katherine Healey.
