Lis and I walked in Benham this morning. As we near our departure to South Carolina next week, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful sights of the deep blue clear skies, tree covered mountains and the river fog in the distance over Cumberland. The sights and sounds here are as beautiful as we have ever experienced anywhere. No doubt the mountains have it all over the seashore areas in this regard. We will miss it I'm sure. Lis is already talking about returning in the fall to visit!

Looking over the gardens and realizing we will be doing new gardens in the fall in SC like we have done each and everywhere we have lived in our 30+ years of marriage. (SE Massachusetts, Lancaster County Pa., Central North Carolina and now Harlan County Kentucky). We are only taking a Red Hot Pocker and a Sea Rose that originated with us in our second house in Brant Rock, MA. We bring one with us every move and end up leaving two or three that come from cuttings of the original. The new house will be a blank canvas for us outdoors!

Last L&F reservations in both ministry houses this week. So many teams and individuals have donated time and materials to get them to the stellar condition they are in currently. We prayed that God would continue to use all three houses in ministry here in Lynch. He has done exactly that with Meridzo Ministry taking over the three properties after our month-end departure. The cost of staying in these houses helped provide for both for our pantry giveaways for going on nine years as well as maintenance and expense for the houses and the pantry. Once again the power of prayer humbles us as we trust in Him. We will always thank God for sweet memories and the privilege of serving here in the mountains. And so many friends we have made... oh my! Bittersweet for sure!

Checked off...... another BIG pre-move-checklist item completed this morning with the help of local friend Seth Brock. Seth has been a valued source of help/labor for most of our time here. He and I dismantled the pantry walk-in freezer this morning. Took it to Club 180 for Willing Hearts/Julie Pitts. :-) :-) :-)

On or just before June 30, we will be closing on our personal owned houses in Lynch and moving to Goretown, SC. Our houses, going forward will be under the administration of Meridzo Ministries here in Lynch. All reservations made prior to June 30 for dates after June 30 will be honored by Meridzo. The houses will continue to be available to teams and individuals coming to the area to serve. You can contact Meridzo Ministries at 606-848-2766 and at [email protected] . It has been our pleasure serving with you these past 10 years! We look forward to learning what God has in store for us in South Carolina.
In Christ!

My last visit with my Mom I was in awe of her hands...the hands that did so very much for me through my lifetime. So blessed by this beautiful, loving, kind, godly woman who I called Mom. She is face to face with Jesus...and I can only imagine...pure JOY❤️
