Graduations, Bible College, Weddings, Texas Federal Prisons, and Taylorville!




I really want to write and let everyone know how busy I have been, but I’m not sure anyone wants to hear that.  What I will say is I have had a stretch of really fun and exciting weekends.  My youngest son graduated from Limestone Community HIgh School last month.  Recently, my middle son Joe was accepted to Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA.

The most exciting thing from the last few weeks was that my oldest son got married on 5/25! That was such a fun wedding and a proud moment as a dad!

Congratulations Ryne and Rowena!




Of course, nothing I write after that will top that but needless to say, I’m still really excited about this coming weekend!

I mentioned in my last email that we would have a game in Illinois and a Federal game in Texas this weekend.

Here is how everything is going to shake out:

Friday I will be leaving for Dallas, Texas. We will spend the day traveling to the Dallas airport and then traveling to Texarkana where we will get settled in for the evening. The following morning we will be heading to FCI Texarkana so we can be on the field by 6:15 AM.

During the Saturday morning session, Tom Carberry will be sharing his testimony and Brian Morrison will be sharing the Gospel.

During the afternoon session, Buck Jorgenson will be sharing his testimony and Bruce Buri will be sharing the Gospel.

After we leave FCI Texarkana, we will make the drive back toward Fort Worth for the evening.

But, I would be amiss if I left out what is going on Saturday in Illinois!

The Illinois team will be heading to Taylorville CC.  During the morning session, Ray Koonce will be sharing his testimony and Kyle Krall will be sharing the Gospel.

During the afternoon session, James Mast will be sharing his testimony and AJ Salmon will be sharing the Gospel.

Please pray for the Illinois team as they are expecting to see 200 men during the day!

But, let’s not forget about the Federal team in Texas!

Sunday morning we will head to FMC Fort Worth for another day of softball! We will have another day of softball before 7 am.

During the Sunday morning session, Jon Isbell will be sharing his testimony and Jimmy Cochran will be sharing the Gospel.

In the afternoon session, Geoff Saturley will be sharing his testimony and Frank Zeidler will be sharing the Gospel.

This is going to be a busy but fun and important weekend! In addition to the Federal and Illinois teams, there will be other Saints teams traveling as well. Please pray for our teams.
