Where has the time gone?

Dan and Danny will be heading to St. Petersburg later this afternoon. Today is the day that Danny leaves us. We have enjoyed having our little family together.
Danny will spend a few weeks in beautiful Greenville, SC and then head to Farmington, NY for soccer camp which begins on the 25th. He has been hired(?) as the varsity soccer coach (he will be just a litttle bit older than his players...lol) at Calvary Chapel Christian School of the Finger Lakes. God is blessing Danny and growing him. Please pray with us that Danny would have good freshman year and seek after Him always.
Dan got to fly right seat (aka co-pilot) last week on the run to Haiti and the D.R. and was able to spend the night with John, Sarah and Evie Neisen in Santo Domingo. He enjoyed the flight experience and the fellowship with our friends. Dan reports that it looks as though the King Air 90 twin-engine plane will arrive in Venice in 2 weeks, Lord willing.
The woman who owns our house, Margaret, has to put our house on the the market. I am hoping it sells for her sake but not so much for ours..lol. This week I get to go through and get our house ready to show to the realtor and any perspective buyers. It will be a good to time to purge some of our belongings in preparation for our deployment to the Dominican Republic.
On August 2nd Jack turned 16, it was nice that we could all be together. Jack started soccer practice this week and is going to play goalie. He is eager to get back to school and sports. He is hoping that he gets to stay at HCA at least through the basketball season.God has been working in Jack in awesome ways this summer. Please pray with us that Jack would have a good junior year and seek after Him always.
