Wow, I know we are just a bunch of blogging goobers! Too much time between entries. Please forgive me!

The IWT Launch went well! We had a packed house and some great new contacts and it was just a blessing to be in the midst of people who seemed to have a heart to see Christ preached in this nation!!! What a refreshing blast! The donations and financial commitments to see this National office start was a very helpful start! Marc Andersons visit was short, but also a blessing. Great to have such a visionary here to direct and advise! We are finally beginning to see some things happen and decisions being made for future dates and goals for us to work toward.

Thanks if you took the time to lift us in prayer and that situation! We really appreciate those prayers! STILL looking for an office!!! UGGGG!

We had a guest... TINA WEILER... for a week and it was so much fun to have her here. Always great to be in the company of friends! She had an interest in Roman history and it was interesting for us to learn a bit about that part of Scotland. We had the best guide one Sunday, our pastor Alister Black volunteered to ride with us and show us some Roman sites that dated back to 82 ad! COOL!!! She had great weather (except for her adventure in the highlands with our friend Andy... cloudy that day... bummer) but the rest of the week was sunny! So if you plan to visit, lately our visitors have had wonderful weather and just a touch of some Scottish grey to make it real!

BABY COUNT DOWN is just about 3 weeks and the MOMs VISIT COUNT DOWN is just in about 8 days!!! YIPPEE! Nope, no names picked yet. We have a skeleton of a list, but are trusting God will give us the perfect one at delivery! :) The kids are coming up with some dousies though!

Tomorrow is national Pancake day! How much fun is that? Im getting together with a bunch of other bumps (expecting moms) that I met at a maternity class. No, we are not getting together to eat pancakes, just tea, but Im planning on hosting someone for the eve. for the traditional festivities. Looking forward to extending these friendships and opportunities to share Christ with them too!

Are these pics. working yet, by the way? Can you get to them? If not, Ill check again with Jeff.

Well, Just now Marc is re-living the pain of last nights game results. Yes, we could see the Superbowl on the BBC live. Thats 11:30-3:30 by the way! A friend came over and shared the joys and the sorrows. Hes from SanDiego, but was so attached and cried and hugged over the Eagles ups and downs... almost felt like a brotherly love connection! :)

OH, I almost forgot...... NEWS FLASH........... Marc has finally tried Haggis and actually likes it!!! Go figure! He had seconds! Thanks to some friends Andy and Gyda who invited us for a traditional Scottish meal and served the plates filled with all kinds of savory treats (not family style where you could quietly refuse) we all had the encouragement to enjoy the local flavor! Yummy! You really are missing out if you don't try it and for crying out loud, Im so proud of Marc for biting the bullet and actually putting it in his mouth and then, shock of all shocks, HE LIKED IT!

On another Scottish cultural note Kayleigh, our American sounding daughter, got 2nd in her class for reciting a Scottish poem (or "poe-yem" as they say here)... in a Scottish accent! Amazing if you think of it! We're so proud! Hee-hee!

Sweet haggis dreams, Julie
