January was a very quiet month with singing, though we had many days of getting together with friends and spending sweet time fellowshipping.
Happy New Year!
We are grateful for God’s blessings and protection on us as we lived through a full, busy, and eventful 2013. We are looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us for 2014.

New Year’s Day was spent with Karen’s uncle and aunt, where we enjoyed a nice little feast, fun and games.

White Stuff in Louisiana!
We were thrilled to enjoy some “winter weather” in Louisiana! First, we had a light snowfall which sufficed a pleasant walk in the woods, a few small snowmen, and a small snowball fight.

Then, everything in Louisiana shut down for over a day of severe ice; in some places, we had 4-6 inches! The children enjoyed slippin’ and slidin’ down the road and pulling each other on “sleds.”

Our relaxing January has opened to a BUSY February with a lot of singing/ministry events. We covet your prayers as the Lord opens up opportunities for us to sing and minister the remainder of this month and in March.
