Can you believe it is the end of April already? In school I use to love this time of year because of graduation and most of the time it was beautiful! Our weather here is beautiful today but it has been rainy and windy some too. It will be interesting to see what the summer brings.

Our summer is going to be busy between family vacations and our trip to Alaska. In the mean time I am hoping to see some friends from college also.

If you have not seen the program lately, we are airing our series we did with Jimmy DeYoung on prophecy and in June we will be going to our series on relationships and issues that single people and married people deal with. It was a great series that was taped and I hope that you will be able to watch it.

I hope that you will continue to pray for my dad. He had hurnia surgery last week and is very sore but overall he is on the mend. Pray for strength for him and also as he is working on other programs and writing books. He just had his heart surgery in November but is not up to the task of doing a lot of things quite yet! That will come in time.

What a sad week this has been after the tragedy at Virginia Tech. We have some friends whose son teaches at VT in computers I believe. He was fine but we have not talked to him since everthing happened. Of course today is the anniversary of columbine's shooting. When I was in school I never worried about someone coming in and shooting. It is very scary how we send kids to college and even high school and instead of being concerned about learning they have to worry about security.

Personally, I believe that the school should have expelled the shooter after he set his dorm room on fire. Of course, he probably would have come back and killed people anyways. Anyways, it should have been a policy that they should have followed through with. If someone is trying to burn their room and dorm I think that is a serioues problem.

Anyways, I feel very bad for the parents and friends and siblings of these students. Life can go on but they will never be the same. The school that I went to (Bob Jones University) sent a banner which all the faculty and students signed. I hope that other schools will support and pray for VT and that we as a nation will too. They definitely need it!

This past weekend I went to Atlanta to see our family with my mom. We went to celebrate my cousin's birthday. We surprised her and we had a good time of shopping and eating! It was very cold here this weekend! I know that I can not complain because many of you live in the northeast and really are getting the snow and rain! Crazy weather for April but it is not due to global warming.

This week we have our taping on Thursday so we are getting ready for that! My dad finally finished his cardiac rehab and is now excercising on his own. Even though he had the surgery you still have to exercise and be careful what you eat so you don't have to go in again a second time. The one thing he learned is that he does not want to go through that again! He looks good and is getting more strength. I hope that you will continue to pray for his health.

I wanted to say a word about the trip to Alaska. That will be in July and there is limited space now. It is going to be a great trip and if you would like to go I hope that you will call us and let us know. I have been to Alaska and it is beautiful. It will be a great time in July because it will be cooler during the day and especially at night! We are going to visit some unique places and the cruise ship will be nice also. I hope that you will look at our borchure online and come with us. We always have a great time on our adventures and I hope that you will consider this.

Well, I can't believe that Easter is over. Our family had a nice Sunday. We went out to eat which was nice. The only thing was that it was the coldest morning on record for Easter. It was colder than Christmas morning. That is so hard to believe. Crazy weather that has been going on!

On another note, my dad finished up his rehab and he is continuing to get better. Next week he will be doing another taping so he is trying to get ready for that. I hope that you will pray for him and that he continues to have strength.

Right now we are airing a series that we did with Darrell Bock on The Lost Tomb of Jesus where they said they found the bones of Jesus. Darrell is the main man that is interviewed on all the major networks and specials when these things come out against Jesus. It was a great series of programs and I hope that you will watch them both on t.v. and also on the internet.

Well, that is it for now. I will let you know what the taping will be on and some other things going on. Continue to pray for our ministry and all that we are doing for the Lord.

Well, we have done two tapings in the past two weeks and my dad survived them. This past Friday we had Darrell Bock on about the Lost Tomb of Jesus that has come out. We will be airing this program on Easter Sunday! He is such an intelligent man who is the foreman when anything comes out about Jesus. He has been interviewed by Fox News, CNN, ABC, NBC just to name a few! I hope you will watch this program because it answers so many questions.

On another note, I am a fan of College basketball and really like the girls more than the guys. Last night the Tennessee Vols played North Carolina and it was a wild game. So many turnovers and fouls called. Tomorrow night they will play in the championship with Rutgers College. It should be a good game. I really do like Pat Summitt. She is a tough coach but one who loves her players and really teaches the game to them! I always appreciated hard teachers in college and even in high school. They were the ones that taught me the most and ones that I definitely never forgot.

To end, this is Easter week! What a special week this is to remember all that God has done for us. I pray that we will all take time to sit down and write our testimony out of how we were saved and what the Lord has done in our life since we got saved. This I think will help us to remember this Easter season a little bit better.
