You have not heard from me because I was on vacation last week in Hilton Head Island. It was beautiful weather and a much needed break! So, this week has been catch up for me. We are getting ready to do some programs that have to do with Israel and so mom and dad are traveling right now both here and overseas.

The work has been busy and it is not stop. We have had a good response to our current program which is on the Protestans and Catholics and what they agree on and disagree on. It has brought about some interesting calls. Our next program we are going to is going to be on Islam. I love the Islam series we did because the two brothers we had on were former muslims and to hear their story of how they came to know the Lord is so fascinating. This information is so good and I hope you will tune in to hear it.

I almost forgot that it has been awhile since I have updated what has been happening. This past weekend we went to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention which was held in Nashville TN. It was a great weekend and we were able to hear the President of The US too! He came and spoke for our group on Tuesday. What a sincere man. Whether you voted for him or not, he is a man of God. He gave his testimony of how he came to know the Lord and he talked about things with the war and then he ended with how much of a pleasure it was to serve all of us over the past couple of years. I have never heard a president say what a pleasure it was to serve.

I am not trying to be political but there are a lot of issues that are important with this next election. Not just about picking the right judges or taking a stand for life, but also issues with us as broadcasters that may no longer be able to broadcast because of hate crimes and the fairness doctrine. So, we need to start praying now for the right person to be put in.

I want to say thank you for your support in the past few weeks - we have received many donations to help our financial crisi and we are very thankful. Last night I read in Philippians the verse that says "But My God Shall supply all your needs". How true this is. The Lord does come through for us in His timing.

We have seen many miracles and it is only through the Lord that these things happen. I don't know what we would do without Him. What a God we serve.

On a political note I attended a dinner this past weekend for Republicans. It was very informative especially about the presidential race and we had some of our senators there that represent our state. In my spare time I try to get involved with a group here called the Young Republicans. I enjoy it because you get to hear what is happening with the party that I vote for.

Well, continue to pray for our ministry this week. My dad is getting ready to do some other projects and they require time and money. Continue also to pray for his strength each day - he definitely needs it!

I want to say thank you to the ones who have sent in donations to our ministry. It is a good start but we are not to our goal yet.

We are working on many projects that are coming up so I hope that you will pray for the ministry and for my dad in all that he is doing.

He is doing well and has more strength now. It has been over a year and the recovery time has gone very well.

We have had many people to write in and say how much the program has meant to them. One lady wrote and said she got saved at a meeting my dad did in Maryland. It is so wonderful to hear about how the ministry has touched people. That is why we are here and we will not stop until the Lord says it is time.

Well, it has been a few days since I have written. It has been very busy at our office. One thing we are facing is the financial difficulties. In our ministry, we face this a lot. During the times when you think that you are done, the Lord comes through for you and He already knows these things will happen.

I decided on my own to give more than half of what I make to our ministry. I did not do that to bring attention to myself. I gave because it is God's money and not mine. I am a person who gives continually and I want to help people. We have a need and I felt the Lord telling me to give. That is exactly what I did.

I want to say thank you for those of you who stand behind our ministry. If you really knew my dad you would see how much his heart is in this ministry and we are here for you and to help you in your christian walk. We follow the verse that says "Be Ready to give an answer". We want to equip others with what to say.

Well, yesterday my parents got home from traveling for two weeks. They had a good trip but trying to get back into the work that is here. It is nice to have them back because I take on a few more responsibilities when they are gone. I don't mind it but I am taking care of their house, my grandmother nd our office. Life gets to be fun.

I am glad that January is almost over. It is such a boring month to me. First, all the decorations are down so things look dark. Second, it has been extremely cold here. In TN we are not use to temperatures staying in the range of 19-25 degrees. Now, I know that is a heat wave to some people but for us in the south that is cold. We even got some snow which was beautiful. I figure if it is going to be this cold we might as well have more snow.

This month is a hard month for us at the ministry finance wise. I credit my dad so much because he is very careful with spending God's money and using it for the right purposes. That is one thing I will take away with me about my dad is how wise he is in the decisions that are made. Thank you for standing with us and continue to pray for our ministry.

Well, I can't believe where the time has gone - January is flying by. It has been very busy around here. I finally feel like I am catching up! Right now my parents are gone. They are meeting with folks who give to our ministry. It is nice when they are gone because we can actually get things done around the office. I am finally getting caught up which is rare.

We just finished a series we did on the tv program "Lost". I don't know if you watch it but I am an avid fan and it is very interesting how the show has christian themes throughout. If you have not watched it you should. It definitely is a deep program and has lots of symbolism.

Coming up this Sunday we are starting a new series we taped of a debate on the book of Revelation. It was between Mark Hitchcock and Mr. Hank Hanegraaff. It was very interesting and both sides presented their cases. I hope you will watch.

I hope you will continue to pray for the ministry. January is always hard because it is after Christmas and so our giving is usually low. We are the ONLY apologetics ministry that presents and defends the faith and we can not do it without the help of people. So, I hope that you will give if the Lord allows you too and also pray.

Well, I can't believe that tomorrow is a new year! It is hard to believe that 2007 is over. I hope that each of you had a nice Christmas! We had family on my dad's side to come to our house. That included 13 people and two dogs. We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was much calmer than last year. Last year part of our family came down with the stomach virus and it was not a pretty sight. I enjoy family so much especially since I am an only child. This year we did not even cook at home. We ended up going out to eat both days which was a nice break for my mom.

Another highlight was my birthday was yesterday and I turned 30. Very hard for me to believe but I am excited for a new decade. This weekend I am having a party to really celebrate the momentous number!

I hope each of you have a wonderful new year and I know that I want to make 2008 the best year possible and do everything I can to serve the Lord more.

Well, this has been a busy week. Right now I am working on letter number 4 that we send out in December. Along with that we are sending out our christmas orders and other materials that people have requested. On top of everything I went with my parents to Dallas this past weekend for a conference and also to help with the taping we did on the topic of dating the book of Revelation. That went very well. It was so cold in Dallas and they almost got some ice. It was foggy and cloudy every day we were there.

This weekend my mom and I are singing in our choir for the christmas musical at our church and also we are trying to finish last minute details for Christmas. After this weekend we have one more taping we are doing as a follow up to the debate we taped this past weekend. That will be on Wednesday. So, needless to say it is going to be busy up until Christmas.

One thing that was very interesting this past weekend was that many people at the conference (which was a pre-trib conference) were there because of our program. It was so neat to hear all the stories of how our program has changed lives through the years.

Well, here it is a few weeks before Christmas. It is hard to believe that it is the end of the year. This year, my mom and I started early on shopping and we only have two people left. One of them happens to be my dad. I know that might be suprising but he is a hard person to buy for.

This weekend we are going to Dallas for a pre-trib conference that we are helping out with. We are taking some of our staff so I hope that you will pray for us as we go!

This is a busy time at the office. In the month of December we do three mailings and a gift ot our top givers. So, I am halfway through with all the mailings and gifts that we send out. That does not include the regular orders and christmas orders that we send out. The key is to stay on top of everything.

Well, I wish you well in shopping and all your plans for this wonderful Christmas holiday!

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is over? It is hard to believe that Christmas is a month away. Our Thanksgiving was very peaceful this year. We actually went out to eat because it was just our immediate family and no extended family. Overall it was a relaxing weekend and we even got half of our christmas shopping done. I have to hand it to the people who get up early and go on black Friday! I could not do that. My mom and I went shopping on Saturday and there were no people and there were bargains too! It was great!

So, we start another week. We covet your prayers for the ministry as we end this year. There are many exciting things to come and the Lord keeps opening doors up!

It has been over a year since my dad's surgery and he is doing well. He is much stronger and is able to do more things than before. I hope you will continue to pray for him and all the pressures he has upon him.

This past weekend I went with my parents and some of our staff to a conference that Southern Evangelical (Norman Geisler's school) did. There were about 4,000 people that attended. They had speakers such as Josh McDowell and his son, Erwin Lutzer, Gary Habermas and many others. My dad spoke on Saturday morning and the interesting thing was that many people had never heard of our ministry and it was their first time to come to this conference.

I enjoyed so much meeting the people at our booktable! It was a wonderful conference and there were people who gave their life to the Lord. That makes it all worth while.

On another note, it is Thanksgiving next week! Time has gone too fast! At our house, we are busy decorating for christmas. We have family on my dad's side that comes and it takes awhile to put up the decorations. I know that this year I have a lot to be thankful for! At this time last year my dad was about to go into surgery. I thank the Lord that he saved my dad's life and he is still around to do the ministry God has called him to do! He is doing very well and I hope that you will continue to pray for him and that he contiues to have the strength he needs for each day! There is a lot to do in running a ministry but we are thankful for what the Lord is doing.

We are also thankful that the Lord opened the door to go back on the Inspirational Network this past weekend! Many people that have not been able to see us can watch us once again! I hope that you have a wonderful thanksgiving and to be thankful for all the the Lord has done in your life and for your family. Thanks for your support in this ministry.

Can you believe how close we are to Christmas? Where has this year gone? This past weekend I went to Nashville with some friends from college. It was so much fun! It was so good to be together. That is one thing I miss about college is my friends because we are all spread out.

We are in the midst of all our conferences and traveling quite a bit. Last weekend my parents were a part of a conference in Dallas where the topic was about Jesus and the media. This next weekend we are going to Charlotte, NC for an apologetics conference that my dad is speaking at.

I hope that you will continue to pray for our ministry and this time of year because we are starting on new stations both for radio and tv and for all our engagements that we are involved in.

I can't believe that it is almost the end of October. This week is a short week because I am leaving to go to Nashville to see some college friends for the weekend and my parents are going to Dallas for the weekend for a conference and also for a banquet that we are doing for the ministry. I hope that you will pray for my parents and for the trip they have this weekend! We also have some of our staff traveling and going with them so pray for their safety too.

One exciting thing we found out this week is that we have been given a one minute slot on Moody radio every day to promote the program. We are very thankful for this opening and we pray that new people will be able to find us. We are the only apologetics ministry out their where we answer the questions and defend the truth of christianity.

Well once again I am working on our appeal letter and getting the booktable together that we will be doing in Dallas the end of October. So, it is very busy around here.

The last weekend my parents and part of our staff will be in Dallas for a conference and they will also be doing a banquet. I hope that you will pray for them that weekend and for their safety as they go!

We had some good news happen this past week! Some very generous donors helped us to get back on INSP at a very good time. The time is at 9:30 p.m. eastern time on Sunday night! If you get INSP I hope that you will watch us on this new time. We thank the Lord for bringing this about! We also thank the Lord for wonderful people that help us on a daily basis. We could not do this ministry without them.

This week has gone fast - we are getting ready for conferences and booktables and letters to go out - this gets to be our busy time but one that is very fruitful too!

My parents are gone again this weekend for another business trip! This past week my dad along with his co-writer Dillon Burroughs did many radio interviews on their new book "What's the Big Deal About Jesus". We have some resources from those interviews on the website. That book is a great one to give people because my dad has put together many inerviews with the scholars on who Jesus is and who the media trys to portray him.

In the mean time, we are working out to hopefully have a three minute deal on the radio about our program that will air on Moody and hopefully some other stations. This is an answer to prayer and I hope that you will continue to pray that we can get on some more radio stations and help that expand like the t.v.

Our ministry is very small and the expenses are very big! We could not do it without faithful people who will give and help us to continue to defend the Word of God!

I can't believe that it is October 2 already. My parents just got back from a trip to CA. In the mean time, we are gearing up for the fall and for the different conferences coming up! Right now we are airing the series that we did with Lee Strobel. If you don't have this series, I hope that you will get it for yourself or for a friend. What I like about this series is that Lee Strobel was an editor for the Chicago Tribune and was an atheist right down the line. Because his wife got saved he started to investigate who Jesus Christ was. He explains this and also about how the media is destroying the person and character of God.

I hope you will pray for us and for my dad. He is doing very well but he still needs prayer for the conferences and programs that are coming up! I hope you will also pray for our staff and for the many responsibilities that we all have. Many of us are doing 5 different jobs because we are so small. If one person is out it slows us down. Thank you for supporting us and for standing with us. If you live near Charlotte or in Dallas I hope that maybe you can come to some of the conferences that we are apart of. There are more details on our website about what is coming up!

Don't the weeks fly by - once again we have started our monthly mailing here at the show and we have a busy fall coming up!

This weekend my parents are traveling out to California to visit some of our donors. I hope that you will pray for them as they go. We have some exciting events coming up this fall that we are doing or helping out with. It is amazing to see how the Lord works in situations.

Just to let you know, my dad and his co-author has a new book called "Defending the Faith" which will be coming out soon. A very good resource for churches and small groups to use. If you have not already bought our book "What's the Big Deal About Jesus" I recommend that you do! It is a combination of different programs with the best Jesus scholars in the world. It is a wonderful resource to use especially in witnessing to your friends and relatives.

Thank you for your prayers and I hope that you will continue to pray for our ministry as we defend the truth of the gospel.

It is hard to believe that 6 years has passed since the attacks on 9/11. When we went to New York last week, I was trying to fathom all that went on that day! It really gives you goose bumps when you go down to ground zero. We talked to several of the people working in the stores around there and they were not there on 9/11. They said that the terroists may have killed thousands of people but they did not change anything.

There could be more attacks to come but thanks to our security we have been safe! Whether you agree with the war going on or not, the terroists are all over the world and in their religion of Islam they don't care about life. Their mission is to kill and be rewarded for that!

I hope that today you will say a prayer for our military, our president and the other leaders for all that they are doing!

I remember in school when I never heard of islamic terroists. Bin Laden was never named. Now, all of this is a threat and will continue to be until the Lord returns.

Well, we just got back from our trip up north! We went to a conference in New Jersey called America's Keswick. It is a wonderful bible conference that my dad spoke at for their final weekend of summer events. One thing they do there that nobody else has done is they have a place called the Colony where men who have had problems with drugs and alcohol can come and be under a strict regiment everyday and also hear the word of God spoken each day. The men are on a waiting list and they also go through an interview before they are let in. It is a wonderful program and so many stories of how men have come to know the Lord and also how they have regained their life once more.

After the conference we went to New York. We walked all around and went to a show. We also got to go down to where the WTC used to be. Right now it is under construction to rebuild the subway system and they will eventually rebuild some buildings and make a memorial to the victims of 9/11. It is hard to believe that those buildings are gone. It was a very moving sight and to know what went on that horrific day! I hope that we as Americans will never forget 9/11. I think we are starting too! I know that the New Yorkans have not forgotten and they have been forever changed!
