On Facebook my son Kyle listed his favorite music:
-In Spring: the Robin’s song,

-In Fall: the sound of crunching leaves,
-In Winter: the music of wind in the pines or a crackling fire.

I like to brew my own coffee from The Melting Pot in Rockford, Michigan. It’s the very best I have ever had. When I ran the Character Inn in Flint it was the house coffee. People raved about it.

Bearclaw Coffee is pretty good stuff on a winter day. The …

Four of the bookcases are done. This evening I filled them with books.
This is the outer study. The library is in the inner study.
Here you can see both.
The wonderful people of Evangel Baptist Church have provided me with everything I need to study, and pray, and prepare messages and teachings to feed, teach, and encourage the flock. Sometimes I will write the Stonebridge here–sometimes at home. I thought you might to want to be able to “imagine” the place where I study, and pray, and write.

Chuk has been asked to be the Youth Pastor at First Baptist Church in Sister Bay, WI. He will move there the first of the year. I will miss him. He has been the “son of my right hand” for the last six years, since his oldest brother, Kyle launched out to missionary work, college, marriage, and ministry. First Baptist is on the beautiful Door Peninsula. Lois and I drove by this church on our anniversary trip in September.
