I praise the Lord for the wonderful day that He gave me on yesterday. Ron and I have just a little section to complete and then Miss Eleanor's heat will all be attched and ready to run.

I ended up going to Islesboro on a quick visit yesterday with some paint. Praise the Lord for Bro. Schoppe and his wife. They are renovating the chapel area there.

I steam cleaned "Dick the Digger" Wings with the Word's excavater because he is tore up. I have to take the hydraulic cooler off and and get it repaired. I should be able to get it off fairly easy.

Today and I will be studying, visting, working around the house. I'm thrilled about the possibilities of tonight. Oh that God would move in power and glory in the meetings.

Have you noticed that I can update on the go?

Greetings in the Glorious and Wonderful Name of our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ

This is the day the Lord hath made we will rejoice and be glad in it. Rejoicing was the topic last night in our family devotions. It is a discipline that we all need in our life. The scripture does not say if you think about it rejoice or if you have time rejoice, but "rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice." Well Glory!!!

Yesterday I caught up on a few things around the farm. The big thing being cleaning out the wood boiler and getting it ready for colder temperatures. That was fun and now it's running smoothly. Also Bro. Andy from Temple Baptist in Asheville N.C. came by to see me. I haven't seen him in years so that was a blessing. A missionary dropped his car off on his way to Nova Scotia later in the evening. I will watch over that for a few days. In the afternoon my wife and I went on a motorcycle ride and looked at the colors. That was a real blessing to spend some sweet time together. I praise the Lord for a good day.

Today I'm studying early and then Ron the Plumber is coming over and we are putting heat in Miss Eleanor's apartment. That will be a blessing to her. Then we will have heat in the whole house. That is heat from the wood boiler. We also still have wood stoves for backup.

I'm looking forward to Bible Institute starting next week. It's going to be a good year as I teach on Elemental Theology. It looks like 20 or so are signed up.

Have a glorious day in the Lord!

Today I'm thrilled to be able to spend some time with my family and catch up on some things around the house. After being gone for 10 days it takes a little while to get everything back in order.

Thank you for all who prayed for our travels on yesterday. The Lord granted us traveling mercies all the way here to Western Carolina. We enjoyed our first evening visiting with Mrs. Amy's family. What a blessing it is to have a Godly heritage here in the mountains.

But, for me that's not enough. I must go and tell others the old old story of His love. I must get the gospel out before it is everlasting to late. Though I will enjoy my visit here I must come back to Maine and tell others. What a call the Lord has given us and I am so grateful for it.

Mrs. Amy and I are staying in a camper out in the driveway of her mom and dads. It's a real blessing. Maybe I will get you all a picture of it soon.

I pray each of you have a great day in the Lord.

Greetings in the Marvelous Name of our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ

To Him be all glory and praise!!!! He alone is worthy!!!! I bless His Name today for all He continues to do in and through the ministry of this local church in Sanford Maine.

My day was blessed on yesterday. I enjoyed being with my wife of 20 years as we went soul winning and on a date. What a joy it was to sow some more seed of the Word of God and try to see some more people saved. As I said last night at church we got into a hornets nest with one stop but God knows and that individual may be the next one saved.

Church last night was a huge blessing. The specials were wonderful, the preaching was encouraging and the fellowship was infectious. Glory to God for all He did.

Today we are preparing to fly down south for a few days (It's 5:30a.m. as I type this out and we are preparing to go to Boston). Pray for us that God would grant His favour on our family as we sing and I preach. Mrs. Amy is also speaking on Saturday so pray for her that God would encourage and help her to share the Word of God.

I love all of you

This is just a small sample of what happened on yesterday!!
Greetings in Jesus Name

Twenty years ago today my wife and I were married. What a joy it has been down through the years to serve the Lord together. We were married one month when we both surrendered our life to full time Christian service. Well Glory!!!!!!!

Hold on tight because now I am going to tell you where I went on yesterday. I started at around 9 in Sanford Maine. First we (Pastor Wilkins and I)flew to Hartford, then to Teterboro N.J. That took a while because the traffic was horrendous. I had to hold over the Alpine tower for four laps then they rushed me in. Once getting in I had no place to park. There must have been 50 jet aircraft on one ramp. It was truly an unbelievable experience just getting in and out of there. After there I flew to Philadelphia and the controller gave us unparalleled access to the city at 1500 feet. After circling there for three turns I flew to Old Bridge N.J, and then requested the VFR corrider up the Hudson. The controller once again granted that. Get these coordinates, fly direct to the Statue of Liberty then up the Hudson hugging the west side of the Hudson because of a TFR. My videograper and cameraman was about to have a fit with the pictures they were getting. I then flew to White Plains, Bridgeport CT, Groton CT, Providence, R.I, and landed at New Bedford Ma for fuel for plane and me. After a brief break I flew up to Boston and once again got access to the city at 1500 feet for two laps around the city. Then I flew to Worchester down to Hartford for two laps around the city and then off to Robertson airport. I dropped off the camara guys and flew home to Sanford Maine and was eating supper with my family at 6:05 p.m. Woooooooooooo Weeeeeeeeeee Now thats a day of flying. Sorry for how wordy it is but it's hard to describe what all happened.

Did not my heart burn when I saw the multitudes that are perishing in sin. Oh that God would raise up more labourers for the harvest fields of America.

I'm excited about the possibilities of today. We will be readying ourself to head south for a mission conference I will be preaching starting Sunday. It's going to be fun to have the family with me on this trip. Pray we are a blessing to the church we are in. Also pray that the power of God will be our portion tonight at the House of God where we will worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

God Bless each of you.

I had a wonderful day on Monday. My wife and I worked hard all day around the farm. She closed up the pool and I cut and chopped wood most of the day. I praise the Lord for the kids that helped us out all day also. They are great blessing. We topped off the day with a family date out to eat. Someone in church gave us some money for our anniversary. It was a blessing to go with the family.

Today I will be flying all the way to Baltimore Maryland shooting video of towns in the Northeast. Bro. Townsley is putting this together. This is something that will be used to advance church planting in the Northeast. What an exciting day it's going to be. I will update on twitter through out the day. Bro. Wilkins is going with me. Pray for us that God will give traveling mercies all day.

God Bless each of you.

I have had a good day so far. I spent the morning outside chopping wood and then the rain caused me to come in. I will end up studying the rest of the day most likely.

Our meeting last night was a huge blessing. God moved in power and glory as I shared on Leadership and the word Loyalty. In leadership we must be loyal to the Lord Jesus Christ, The Local Church, and the Leader himself which is the pastor. It's difficult if not impossible for a strong work to be built without loyalty.

I pray each of you have a glorious day and a wonderful day tommorow.

We are not only constantly under attack by terrorists that are jealous of our freedoms but by the enemy of the Christian, Satan! We must put on the whole armour of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

I had a wonderful day of travel on yesterday. Thank you for praying for me. I left the Sanford regional airport at around 7:20 and arrived in Coshocton Ohio at 10:10. My flight time was about 2:50 minutes. What a way to travel. The plane performed flawlessly all the way there. I can't wait to get it up on-line and use it to spread the Word of God here in this area.

They flew me over to Columbus and I picked up my flight coming home to Maine. I arrived back at 5:40 in Portland. Ron picked me up and took me to the outback steakhouse. Now that's what I call service!!!!! I was back home by 7. A full day but a neat day of travel. My my to think about modern capabilities of travel.

I am excited about this day and what it holds for me. I am busy now with my devotions and then an engineer meeting this morning. I will be working around the hanger and house today also. I plan on being in my study this afternoon preparing my message for tonight's leadership meeting at the church. A busy day as usual but an exciting day.

God Bless each of you.

It's a crispy morning in Maine as I type this out. I just had to reach over and close my window in my office. The temperature is 47 as I type out this entry and 5:06 a.m. This is the day the Lord hath made we will rejoice and be glad in it.

I had a good day on yesterday. I studied in the morning and then took a little boy and his father on a ride in the airplane. They enjoyed themselves and I was grateful to be able to do it.

After that I had the privilege to meet Bro. John Morgan out of New York City. I enjoyed the fellowship and hearing how God has helped him and blessed all these years as he has ministered in the city. What a mighty God we serve.

Our meeting last night at church was wonderful. What a joy it was to preach the Word of God. I preached out of Philemon on the communication of our faith becoming more effectual by acknowledging every good thing that is in us in Christ Jesus. Their are so many good things in us in Christ. When studying this you cannot deny the Holy Ghost that is in us so therefore, greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.!!!!!! Glory!!!! That's shouting grounds!!!

Pray for me today as I will be flying out to Ohio early this morning to deliver the Cessna 402. Pray that I will have traveling mercies and make my flight back tonight.
This will pretty much take up my whole day. I'm excited about getting this plane on-line and using it for God's Glory here in the Northeast.

My day was blessed of the Lord all day yesterday. I started out about 4:50 a.m. with my morning routine of updates and devotions. After that I went to an Airport meeting at 7:30. Then I went soul winning and enjoyed sharing the gospel with a neighbour friend of mine. Then I was off the airport where I stayed until 6:30 p.m. To God be the glory the Cessna 402 ran well and I will be taking it to Ohio soon. Bro. Don is to be commended for all the hard work that he did on the 402 these last several months. Praise the Lord for good mechanics that work on missionaries airplanes.

I enjoyed the evening with my family. We had family devotions and prayed for the forgotten people group of the native americans. May the Lord raise up labourers to go tell them of Jesus and His love.

Today I will be busy in my study, flying a kid this morning, and visiting. Also I will be doing paperwork for mom and dads property and then Church tonight!!!!! Glory to God for the oppurtunity to go to Church!!!! Have a glorious day!!!

My day was blessed on yesterday as I worked at the airport in the morning. I got alot done. I thank God for Dad and Dave (sounds like a good team) that helped me and of course Bro. Don who has worked tirelessly over the last year on all the planes. Lord willing today we will have the ferry permit for the 402 and take it down Ohio soon to get the wing spar fixed.

Benjamin, Amy and myself flew down to Mansfield Ma for the PGA golf tournament. That was a blessing and kind of neat to see all the pros play golf.

We flew home and 22 of us headed off for Manchester to hear Dr. Gray preach. It was wonderful to be in a church full of people and hear some good preaching. I praise the Lord for the good time we had.

Pray for me today as I study and work around the house. Also I will be preaching this afternoon in Lisbon falls at Pastor Garnette's. Pray for me that I will have power and the anointing of the Holy Ghost as I preach the Word of God.

What a mighty God we serve!!! I bless His Name for how He has helped us thus far and what He is going to do in the future.

My day was blessed of Him on yesterday. The service last night was the capstone on the day. The Lord just moved in among us and ministered to our church like only He can. We all got helped as I preached on the Whole Armour of God. It's amazing how we can get dressed up physically and never even think about getting dressed up spiritually for battle. Glory be to God for what He did in the meeting.

It was great to have the Chapman family with us and also the Faggarts. I appreciate both of these couples and what they are doing in the Work of the Lord.

Today I will be working around the farm, working on windows of the Cessna 402 at the hanger, flying up to Belfast Maine to look at some Baptist archives and discipling tonight. Pray that my day is blessed with the power of God and souls will be saved and ministered to.
