Rose City Baptist Church

The Vineyard family had a wonderful trip this weekend to Tyler, TX. The home of a thousand churches. I believe that there were more churches per square mile in Tyler than I have ever seen before. Even when we turned down the two lane farm to market road you would think that you might see the small country church. No, it was the mega church in the woods and not just one but threee or four. The whole experience was a blessing and I will tell you about tonight because we are about to start TAKS testing and I do not want to get into trouble. PEACE!

Easter at the Vineyard's

Tripp's Big Day!!!

This is illegal for me to be posting the pictures that you see here today but I figure I know where most of the seven people live that might read this. So don't tell the coppers that I posted Tripp's pics. I am tired of waiting, so here he is at his 1st Birthday. He dove right in to the cupcake covered in green icing. You know this Easter as a child of the Living God I celebrate the sacrifice of the Son of Man and as a Father I celebrate the receiving of the son of mine. Praise God for his great gifts.

Palm Sunday at New Birth Ministries

This is a new house that the guys are fixing up.

This is the main ministry house.

Pastor Charles and Denise Hart

I have the wonderful opportunity on the first Sunday of every month to go and preach at New Birth Outreach Ministries. New Birth is a Christian based drug rehab program run by Charles and Denise Hart. This Sunday Joley, Tripp and I headed over and what a blessing it was. My message today was about Palm Sunday and how we as believers today need to revisit that day that Jesus went willfully into Jerusalem. I wanted to try and understand Jesus as he wept over the city. When was the last time I wept over my city? It was truly a blessing because five of the residents made a commitment to trust Jesus for the very first time. Please be in prayer for this ministry, they are doing such a great work, they operate 90% of the ministry on the gifts of Charles and Denise. Also, pray for the men that are currently being set free from addictions and turning their lives over to Christ.

Spring Picnic

Olivia had some friends over today and they had a picnic. What a glorious day that the Lord gave us today. It was good to be outside. Olivia is such a blessing. She is so beautiful and her creativity is awesome. She loves to speak in a British accent especially when she has tea and crumpets. We will soon be able to show some pics of my boy because we are almost done with the adoption. Tomorrow will be april 5th and that is the end of the 90 day period that we had to wait before we could file our paperwork. As long as no cousins, aunts, or random grandparents come out of the woodwork between now and midnight tonight we are in good shape. Please continue to pray for this process and that it would be over with soon.
