International Gospel Blimps Inc.

Sometimes a little fiction is just the trick to get you thinking. In this book a group of friends desiring to reach their neighbors for Christ take on the monumental task of starting a non-profit organization that utilizes fly over blimps dropping literature and gospel advertising sign trailers to get the job done.

Big Girl Bed

Darcy has officially made the transition to her new toddler bed that the Pattersons gave us before they moved. I thought it would be good to train her to stay in a bed before our two month training in Richmond and then in Iceland. More pictures are forthcoming... Read More
