We are in a revival in Nappanee, Indiana this week.  This area is home to many Amish families.  There is a fascination that American culture has with the simple and slow-paced lifestyle of the Amish.  From the well-kept farms, to the expert craftsmanship of their furniture, to the simple goodness of their food - those in the "rat race" of American culture seen curious about these people who, in spite of modern conveniences, choose to maintain their quaint and quiet lives.

It is a rainy day here in the upper Midwest.  A good day to read and rest a bit.  Spending the day tweaking the website and preparing to speak at a Men's Meeting tonight.  We had a great meeting at Dunes Baptist Church and had 1 young lady come to Christ on Sunday.  Praise the Lord for the Gospel!   

I also broke thru the 360 barrier today - 359.6 lbs.  Haven't been there in 10 years or so.  Thanks for the prayer and encouragement.

Greetings from Northwest Indiana!  We are in a revival meeting this week at Dunes Baptist Church in Michigan City, IN.  The church was packed last night and it was good to see my family and many friends from the area.  Sam Geckler is the pastor of this church that he planted here over 25 years ago.  Not far from the shores of Lake Michigan, Dunes Baptist Church is a lighthouse for the Gospel of Christ .  Please pray for the presence of God to be experienced in these days.
