Ain't It Grand?

Well, Darrel's commercial kitchen is finally done and we've been in it for the last few weeks non-stop it seems! I think I will never forget that first big catering - Brandon and I were working away, every now and then stopping to look at each other and express to God how thankful we were for some aspect of this new space. It is incredible how much room we have to work and how convenient it is to have everything near and at your disposal.

We ran an ad in our local exhanger paper offering a Thanksgiving meal for 8 with Turkey, Dressing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, Green Beans or Corn, Rolls, and a Pumpkin Pie all for the low, low price of $56 plus tax. So far we have cooked 8 full dinners and a few little side dishes for people who just wanted certain items. It has been so much fun to work side by side with my sweetheart helping people, who because of health issues or time issues can't cook for themselves, to have a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal for their families.

Our annual FUNatics Thanksgiving Dinner and Revolution 375 last week was wonderful! Pastor Shay Strickland came with Chris Greshom who led worship. God is certainly moving on our behalf. We have now officially become Revolution Ministries - a non-profit organization. We have acquired the use of a building on the Lamar square to use for at least 3 years. We have been asked to set up a nativity on the corner of the sqare - it is going to be awesome! We will have the usual nativity set and a cross. The banners will say something like, "God became a man to bridge the gap; He lives so you can have relationship; Unto you a Revolution is born...join it!" It will be sponsered by Revolution Ministries and a local doctor here in town who owns the property. What an incredible presence for us in this town! We also received our first major donation of $500. Things are getting so exciting and we know it is just the tip of the iceberg! If you get a chance, check out the link above - click on Prophecy and the News to read some of the recent prophecies Kim Clement has given. The TBN interview is especially cool.

RPM sang last Saturday night at the Java Mule for Lamar's annual "Home for the Holidays". We sang a variety of Christmas songs - both traditional and spiritual. Debbie, my sister, again filled in with singing and playing the piano. She's awesome... We sing on the 3rd for a variety show fund raiser here in town for our local taxi service. We will be doing 4 of our 50's songs in the whole poodle skirt get-up. It should be fun. Then we sing Dec. 8th at Dot's - Christmas stuff again. They are our biggest supporters - they have sold our Christmas CD song every year and keep up with all that we are doing. God has been so good to pour out His Spirit through new songs lately - I think I've written 3 in the last two months.

The kids are sad due to the loss of their piano teacher - they are moving to Indiana to take a church there. We are sorry to see them go. School has been crazy and wonderful at the same time - trying to balance it with catering has been interesting. Well, I will let all this useless information settle in to your brains. Thanks for sharing our lives and keeping us in prayer!

Ready to take some more leaps? Stay tuned...
