Apologies...

Sorry -- the order in which I intended these pictures to be seen is opposite the way my post came out.  (Guess I'm "rusty").  To see the sequence I intended, please begin viewing with the picture below, which has a title, and work your way up.  Thanks.  -- Lester

Here is a picture of the RCBC

nearly 5 years ago

Here I am talking with the Fire Chief

as the re-wetting process

was going on

Firemen had to wet it down again

the next morning

More detail

The intense heat damaged the side of our

Church Building,

but ut remained intact, for which we

thank the Lord.

Recent house-fire near RCBC

This house, next to the RCBC building,

burned Sunday night, 3-27-11.  No one hurt.

Our sympathy to our neighbors, who suffered a devastating loss.

       Wow, it hardly seems possible that so M-U-C-H time has elapsed since I posted here last.  That was at the beginning of 2010, and now we're almsot a quarter of the way into 2011.  Where, oh, where, has the time gone???
       Last May we went to Lynchburg, VA for our older son's graduation from LU, with a major in Criminal Justice.  Now he's well on his way to finishing his first year of Law School!
       And now our younger son is just returning to his CA home from a year's deployment in Iraq.  He's a Captain, and does the "legal thing."
       And now -- our 3 girls, and their 6 children (2 each), -- one is married (grandson), one is in College (granddaughter), two have been playing High School volleyball (granddaughters), one played high school soccer and basketball this past season (grandson)...!!!

     And now, a word of encouragement from the New Testament, "Have faith in God!" (Mark 11:22)
