A Brief Update - More To Come

Yes! We are still alive and well. We've been so focused on settling in our new home that I, obviously, haven't taken time to update the blog. The short story is that our furniture arrived later on December 27th. Because it was supposed to arrive early in the morning the unloading became a 2 day process. Our realtor showed up a few days after the furniture had a arrived and was quite surprised. She said we get the prize for accomplishing the most in the shortest amount of time. If you were to come into our home today you would not necessarily suspect that we had only been here for 2 weeks. All the boxes are unpacked that are going to get unpacked. There are a few left in the garage that contain items from my office. They will get unpacked with time. The walls have been painted, the shelves have been lined with paper and everything put away. Pictures have been hung and Cammie has put the finishing, warming touches throughout the house as only Cammie can do. It feels like home - and - it's beautiful.

Cammie has started a part-time job, Zach is going for a follow-up interview at Harris Teeter (local grocery store) today. We feel that he will most likely get the job. I (Stan) have been focused on getting settled in the house. Now that it done I will hit the pavement. In fact, the focus of the blog will change from praying for our home to sell to me finding the employment/ministry that God has for me. I have a peace inside. He has been faithful all along. He promised to see our journey to its end. I know that includes placing me where I can influence people for spiritual transformation. (Cammie too) Please begin to pray for that end.

We had snow on Thursday - about 4 inches. As quickly as it came it melted. It was fun. We are expecting another winter storm on Saturday with snow throughout the day. We are looking forward to it.

Adam is doing well. He picked up a stray dog in the snow. He thought he wanted to keep it but then realized that it requires the responsibility of caring for it on the long-term. He is now dogless - after thinking it through.

This is brief but more is to come with pictures and details of how to pray for us.

More later!
