Look what Santa brought us!! Our dear friends, Shane and Lori Holland (and kids) are moving from East TN to Arkansas. We were so excited to be a stop through point last night. Shane was one of my best friends at ACU and I spent lots of time in his family's home in Arlington. He was also a groomsman in our wedding. Lori and Sheryl sang together in Daybreak at ACU, so our friendships run deep on all sides! It was SUCH a blessing to be with them. There just really isn't anything like old friendships. So much history! I remember Shane being such a rock for me when my dad died. I have vivid memories of him standing with me at the burial in Groesbeck, TX. We've been through a lot together and 18 years later, still laugh at the same things and still can pick right back up where we left off.

Here are some pics...


The Holland Family--
Brianna, William, Lori, Shane and Hannah


Sheryl and Lori used to sing in a group together at ACU--Daybreak. I still have one of their tapes! (yes, friends, a cassette. Our kids will think they are hilarious like we do with 8 tracks!)


All the Thomas and Holland kids. They had such a great time playing! (don't you love William's "bling" shirt?!)


Shane and BST

Thanks for linking to Larry James' Urban Daily!

As you know, he recently launched a campaign to raise $100,000 by the end of the year.

Thanks to people like you, we've raised over 73% of that goal -- which is quite amazing, considering that this is our first such effort!

You can see it here:

Many blessings to you and yours. Thanks for your support!
