It's been a while since I've posted--things have been busy, but that's obviously no excuse!

Over the course of the past several weeks we've been working on putting sheet rock on the ceilings. Along with that has been the installation of the insulation (is that the right terminology?). The hard work has paid off as we've turned on the furnaces (the ladder in the picture provides access to the the furnaces)...and we're now working in 40 degree comfort!

We're working only Tuesday evenings and Saturdays now--so the progress is a bit slower. However, the fellowship we're enjoying together is no less satisfying!

Today the ladies gathered at the chapel for our annual “Stuffing-of-the-College-Student-Bags” event (for lack of a better name).  It’s a tradition that we've been keeping for several years that provides us an opportunity to bless others during this busy season for the young people. Our hope is that it can be an encouragement to the students as they head into finals!

This year we also made up a few extra plates for some special friends--including John Dabill.

The sign-up sheet usually fills up pretty quickly--but it's the stuffing of the bags that results in a blessing for us as we fellowship and enjoy the privilege of demonstrating Christ's love to others. 

[Editor's Note: I'm getting hungry just looking at those pictures. Good thing this is an event for the ladies, I'm not sure the men would leave anything for the college students! (jm)]
