I’ve been sitting home, self-quarantied, like many of you, and wondering how i can bring some encouragment to the situation. This morning, via the internet, my Pastor brought me the answer, a wonderful sermon on God is In Control.
Thls is the link, it is the full service and I believe you will be blessed and encouraged if you watch it, hope you do!!

Friday night, February 14th, Sherelne and I celebrated our 50th Anniversary surrounded by family and friends! We renewed our vows and then joined around 75 guests for a catered dinner, it was a wonderful evening! Family came from some distance away to help us celebrate and then our weekend has been filled with family gatherings at our home.
The happy couple! What a thrill it has been to call Shrelene my bride for 50 years! Jim Haverstock, (with me below), got the prize for the furthest to drive to the celebration. and my Son Scott and grandson Ben flew up for St Augustine Florida!
My best man was my brother Homer!
