September…

We’ve had a busy last few weeks!  We went to SC to bury Sarah Elizabeth on August 25/26…it took two days to get to SC.  We got lost and an 11 hour drive took 16+ hours.   All the while, we are riding with Sarah’s casket.  The funeral director suggested we drive her as opposed to having her flown to SC.  To have her driven would have cost over $3000.  (Did I mention Frankie resigned and we have no income currently?)  Needless to say, we opted to drive her ourselves.  My family thought it weird and morbid, until I reminded them that I carried and birthed her dead little body…do you really think driving her home would somehow upset me more?  I was glad to do this last service for her.  We buried her on Thursday with just a quiet graveside service with just me and Frankie & Lydia.  Frankie read Psalm 23 and a passage from Mark and I read I Thess 4:13-18 and Frankie closed in prayer. 
That Sunday Frankie preached at a church in SC and the following week we met with two pulpit committees.  We just came back to KY last week, and are going once again to SC next week to meet with two churches (one that we met with before and another one).  We anticipate being called to one of these churches within the next month.  (We pray that is the case!)
