We just finished a wonderful week of preaching and fellowship with the Lord and the brethren here at church. This marked a couple milestones in my life. I turned 60 years old this month and it was the 26th anniversary of this wonderful church. We had Pastor Scott Strobel from FBBC of Lockport, NY here with us since last Monday evening. The Lord used Brother Strobel to minister the word of God to us each evening. THANK YOU LORD for using this dear brother to help us along in our desire to remain faithful and true to the word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the messages we were greatly encouraged to continue to press forward for the Lord! Our theme for 2010 is "Seek that ye may EXCEL" (1 Corinthians 14:12) and the messages preached this past week certainly helped to burn that theme deep into out hearts.

Friday evening we all enjoyed a sweet time of fellowship around godly conversation, special music, preaching, laughs, and a delicious meal prepared by our church family.

I am a blessed man in so many ways! I am saved and on my way to spend eternity with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am married to the sweetest Christian lady who truly loves the Lord with all of her heart. I have a wonderful Christian family. I have the honor to pastor the greatest church in the world, First Bible Baptist Church of Plainville, CT! I thank you Lord for your goodness, mercy, grace and love you have demonstarted to me over and over during my entire lifetime.
