Hi Family n Friends,

Listening to "Pandora" Christian music right now.... "Cry out to Jesus" by Third Day.

Great song!!!

I'm going to try to send you an occasional snail mail this year (was my plans in past years but haven't done a very good job).

G & G Boettcher were here for Tuesday Opening Chapel with the theme "Serving Our Savior."

Last Sunday night we hosted a going away gathering for Rev. Fred Zimmerman of St. James-Shawano at our house.  We had a really nice fire with the pastors that night.

Tuesday Isaac did fine at Wittenberg getting a coveted medal - time about 18:44.  School began for all three here with very little pomp (or pictures!)

Enjoying now the song: Mighty To Save

on Great God Who Saves

I didn't hear about much home work from the three - yeh!!! I'm assuming.

G & G Palmer traveled from Anchorage Alaska to Staples in one day with a whole load of fish.

Friday was volleyball at Clintonville.  Girls did a great job, but lost in the last point of two.  Stopped at the drive through of Culvers since it was 8 and no supper yet (Anna ordered a sunday with nuts and they forgot to put anything on it except nuts (almonds)!  I'm sure it wouldn't have happened at Dairy Queen!

That evening out to the Jerry Schmidts for a fire and pot luck for the school's staff.

Saturday morn - Isaac and the Shawano invite - 20 teams!  The boys rocked and tied Green Bay East for outright 3rd place out of 20 teams (lost tie breaker with 6th runner).  Isaac broke 18 minutes for first time in life with 17:45! - placed 18th out of about 130 runners.

Today, Sunday 9th after church (theme by Shoup, the compassion of Jesus that heals blind eyes and deaf ears will one day give us the "very good" life eternal)  we (mom) cooked tomatoes, Abigail watched a Narnia movie, Isaac got blue paint all over his body and cloths and face while painting their HUGE ice fishing project, and we watched the second half of the Packers game at the Doells (so sad they lost, people will be depressed at school tomorrow!)

Listening now to a just GREAT song: I Will Rise

Visited Green Bay hospital, new birth; Appleton hospital with two patients, one with heart problems, the other with infections and cancer.  7th grade Confirmation started on Thursday.  Mailing and telephone calling have potentially 16 adults lined up for a new member class starting Monday.

Just about purchased a different Suburban yesterday on Saturday - but saving money for a rainy day.

Blessings on your week.  Love ya,  Dad
