David's Writing Headquarters

Here's David hard at work finishing his book called "Four Full Seasons" about the life of 105 year-old Ervis Lester. He's dedicating two and one-half hours a day of intensive writing to this project. He appreciates our prayers that he will be focused and able to attend to the many details of transcribing all the interviews. You can see how much he enjoys it.

David's technologial command of the writing process is impressive. He has not one, but two, very powerful computer systems. By multi-generational standards, David's a traditionalist and he should not be this computer savvy!
Way to go David!

Connie's Baptism

What a blessing to witness Connie's baptism on Sunday, May 20. Her son, Todd, shown here on her left, flew in from California to assist her pastor, Brother Joe Grizzle (right), in the baptism.
Leonard captured the moments before and after and gave David these pics for you to see.

Connie was radiant and so excited to see many family and friends who were able to attend and stand with her. Romans 6:3-5:

"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his."

Launching "Our Space"

David and Connie are en route to Iowa to visit David's mom for a few days while this blog is being posted for all our viewing and communication pleasure. Read David's short story called "Mystery Solved" to understand his journey.

I love this picture of David, Connie, and Ervis Lester (age 105) at church (go ahead and click on it)! You'll be hearing more about Ervis as David is completing his life story called "Four Full Seasons."
