Rain Happens

Sunday, October 15, 2006



We had a great night at Gary's induction service. The evening started with our little but mighty worship team leading us with some of Gary and my favorite songs, All for Jesus and Be Thou My Vision are just a couple. Then the Ernie Tromsness, the missionary who has been working here for 20 some odd years with his wife Nancey, shared how Lee Valley Bible Church was started and how it got to the stage of getting Gary as its pastor. Then Jack got up and shared a little of what he new of us and showed the video clip that was shown at our goodbye at Summerland Baptist. This clip gave the people here a new picture of Gary I'm sure, a little strange but definatly loved by a church family. Then Gary took his vows and was prayed for. The evening ended with Gary giving a benediction, as only Gary can do.
Gary took Jack to a few of the many places in Ireland to see some of the historical sites. I'm sure Jack has had his fill of castle and monistary ruins. Jack even got to kiss the Blarney stone so he should have very elequent speech now, either that or he is now full of blarney!!

That's so great Jack could be there for Gary's induction. I miss seeing those outstretched arms of benediction. I wish you all could be here to see Tianna's belly bump...she looks great and I am 90% sure she's having a boy. Time will tell...
