Hope this update finds everyone doing well. Is anyone else shocked by how quickly this year has flown by?! Hard to believe 2013 is just a few weeks away...
We enjoyed another assembly here in November. We had them all back to back this year. One in July, one in September, and our latest a few weeks ago. Talk about a spiritual boost!

One point we really appreciated from the assembly was an illustration about a military strategy called "Flanking". The enemy will apply direct fire and then, while the opposing army is dodging bullets, sneak in from the sides and attack. The application- Our enemy Satan is applying so much direct fire in the form of financial crisis, health problems, family problems, etc., that the tendency is to be so focused on dodging bullets that we let our guard down in other essential areas- bible reading and meditation, prayer, meeting attendance. The speaker then asked, "What is one good thing about dodging bullets?" The enemy WILL run out of ammunition. Any trials we're facing right now will eventually end. In the meantime we must protect ourselves from all sides in a spiritual sense.
Another recent highlight has been having new visitors and welcoming back old friends! Here are a few recent photos... Next update will be on the ministry and some of the new studies we've started :-)
