    Thank you! I love the pictures; I am so glad that you finally posted some. Jake is such a cutie! Things in Vegas are going :-) We are looking into moving into a bigger house, if we can. I just don't know how to fit any more kids in one bedroom!! Were in Colorado Springs are you worshipping? My sister in law recently has moved there as well. How are you enjoying it there?

    I was just thinking about you! Glad that you updated. I can't believe that Jake has gotten cuter, how is that possible? lol The view is just what I pictured it to be at this time of year! BEAUTIFUL! Tell Beth and your mom hello for us.
    It's hard to believe that in a year, we are both in different states! God is Awesome and provides to His faithful followers.
    Hugs to all.

    We are still in Kentucky. We built a house and moved about 2 years ago to a nearby county from where I grew up.

moving

sorry havent posted in quite a while, have been kinda busy trying to stay afloat and havent had internet in a while.

wanted all of you to know that beth and i are moving to colorado springs this summer. we have an opportunity we cant pass up, so we are taking it. we are in the process of selling off a bunch of stuff, so we can afford the move and so we can downsize a little bit. we have also been packing things up which has been keeping us rather busy as you can imagine.

our plan right now is for two years in colorado. during that time we will decide to stay or to move on somewhere else. we are swaying toward the houston area of texas, possibly around montgomery or somewhere like that.
  • mcbecci
    Cool. BJ and I have been thinking about moving to Colorado Springs, too. Now it looks like we'll be here for another 2 years, then maybe we'll look out there again. I know some people there, so let me know if you need some info on churches or anything. Enjoy beautiful Colorado!

    We're happy for you! We know that you considered a of things in prayer and that is always the best way to make decisions. :)
    I'm sure that Micky and Donna are saddened bc they'll miss you, but, pray that this is a good move for you as all of us do.

    Those pictures are very cute! I like your new one up in the corner too! When we come over, maybe you'll show me how to add pictures to the comment section! I would get so busy with my kids while visiting them, that I would forget to have them show me! Dennis will be leading the Lord's Supper comments the month of March, so we won't get over there until April sometime.

gospel preacher and family in need of prayers

hey yall. any christians that are out there i have a very close friend of mine that is a gospel preacher that needs prayers for his wife and family, please pray for them. many of you might know him, his name is Dennis Scroggins, and his wife is Glenda. this is the latest info i have in an email from him:

Please pray for Glenda, my wife. She is in the hospital at Scott & White in Temple, Texas and is recovering from a collapsed lung that resulted from a port that was being surgically placed in her shoulder, so she could begin chemotherapy next week in order to take care of a re-occurring cancer that has come back in her colon. If all goes as planned then after six weeks of combined chemotherapy and radiation treatments then she will rest for six weeks and then have colon surgery to remove the tumors that come back. Hopefully, she will be rid of the cancer in less than three months.

Today we were told by her doctors that she may have cancer in her right lung. If this is true and the cancer is like the cancer in her colon then they will be able to treat both of these cancers through chemotherapy and radiation treatments, over the next six weeks. We do fear a repeat of the lung collapse in her right lung when they do this CT biopsy this Monday or Tuesday. There is a possibility this could happen, but we are hoping and praying for the best.

Please remember Glenda when you pray and ask God that He might grant us courage to face the future and what it may hold for us in the coming months. We believe in God's power to work through His own natural laws and believe that doctors are not all knowing, but we also believe that God is merciful and all things work together for those who love Him and live according to His will.

We can only ask for your prayers, and know that they mean a great deal to us.

Your friends in Christ,

Dennis & Glenda

  • mrs_rosshead
    Yes, praying. Also, thanks for the encouragement you and Beth are giving her. I'm excited about recent events with 'you know who' and have been praying for him and decisions he needs to make. Especially what is best for him and his walk with God. (and maybe my daughter!!!) lol
