Greetings from Billings, Montana. What an exciting week! I spent most of the week preparing for the Montana Assemblies of God State Women's Retreat. I prayed for months for God's guidance and direction as to what to minister.

The retreat began Friday afternoon at the Holiday Convention Center in Billings, Montana. The women gathered from all over the state along with some from surrounding states. They arrived with expectation for God to do miracles in their lives...and God did! On Friday evening, I spoke on "The Gift of Forgiveness". I shared on the importance of ridding your heart of unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment and then allowing God to fill their lives with joy and peace.

Oooohhh, it's a nippy day! Fall is definitely in the air. We woke up to 34 degree temps this morning, but they say it is supposed to warm up a bit. The Montana residents call this "the roller coaster" season---nice one day, cold the next. Last Saturday it was 80 degrees, but it had cooled on Sunday to 31 degrees as we were coming over the McDonald Pass traveling from Missoula to Helena, Montana. When we arrived at the top of the pass, there was heavy snow. I whimpered to Larry, "It's too early for snow!" I must admit however that the mountaintops looked beautiful with the blanket of fluffy snow on them. May I repeat though, "It's pretty to look at...that's all! HA!"

Greetings from Montana Wheat Country, Townsend, Montana. We just completed another action-packed week with rallies in three Montana communities. Yes, we are tired, but rejoicing in the great numbers of those who made decisions for Christ.

I don't know if I've ever been honest with you about my drug problem I faced in my early childhood. Yeah, I was drug out of bed in the morning when I would've rather slept 'til noon, I was drug to the bathroom to wash up; I was drug to the kitchen to help set the table, and do dishes when I would've rather run off to play. I was also drug to the old damp basement to help sort and wash clothes.

Children need to feel comfortable discussing spiritual issues. It's important for them to understand that your reason for sharing is because you love and care for them. The biggest mistake adults make is over-complicating the Gospel. Remember to think like children. Speak their language.

"Today is our eleven- month wedding anniversary and I can truly say it's been the happiest 11 months of my life. Marriage gets better every day and Larry gets sweeter, more considerate, and loving all the time. God sure has been good to us, and we know that He brought us together for His work and each other. I only wish for more couples to be as happy and close as we are." When I read that, I got warm fuzzies all over again.

Peaches n' Cream Dessert - this will melt in your mouth!
Reduced to Desperation:
She gave up mutton, pork and beef,
She gave up coffee and teas;
She gave up milk without relief,
She gave up beans and peas.

Marriage is a lot of hard work at the best of times and money is an issue that can tear a family apart. It is a volatile subject that must be approached and dealt with. Ignoring or refusing to deal with the issues of money can deal a deathblow to a relationship. Discuss, plan, and determine how finances will be handled before the emotion takes precedence over wisdom.

I was amused, to say the least, when I was told the following true story several months ago: A well-known group of artists and musicians were traveling in Europe and checked into their hotel room. As some of you have probably experienced if you've ever traveled in Europe, most of the hotels are old and historic and the rooms are about the size of a large bathroom. The guys piled their entire luggage up against what appeared to be a cubbyhole closet. Knowing that their suitcases would not fit inside, they did not even open the door.

Greetings from West Central Montana! Last Saturday evening, we pulled our motorcoach into the Trailhead Christian Fellowship parking lot which is nestled next to the Missouri River Reservoir. We were greeted by ten antelope prancing in the fields ahead of us.
