We have returned from a month in Mexico. You might also enjoy seeing pictures of the trip when Lois has the opportunity to post them on her site. This week we are at our regional training conference in Nashville.

This is a very significant day for our oldest son, Kyle and his wife Elizabeth. Today is their first day of full-time ministry at Camp Barakel, where they first met.

We will be here until Friday. I have been asked to speak at two sessions, host one, and participate with the Great Expeditions Team in the opening-night ceremonies. Saturday we will officiate at the Peter Gulbransen, Jessica Davoli wedding. Sunday I will preach at Grace Christian Fellowship in Bay City. We will preach there for the next four Sundays.

It’s Memorial Day in the United States. I have always seen it as the official beginning of summer. I hope you have a relaxing day gathered with your family. Sometime today take a little time to think of the great sacrifices that have been made to secure the free country that we enjoy and the rest of the world envies. On Memorial Day I have memories.
