Congratulations Will on Your First Buck!

Great job Will on killing your first Buck today. He shot the deer from over 100 yards, while it was moving. It was an awesome shot. Will is an excellent marksman; we are very proud of him!

Our family spent a couple of days in Panama City beach.

It was a great blessing to get away.

Update

I went to see Dr. Waples (my oncologist) at CCI yesterday. He has ordered a PET scan for Tuesday. That is a perfect time for God to show up and bring healing for His glory. Pray with me, that it reveals no cancer if that is God's will. If it is God's will for me to walk through this valley, please pray that the cancer has not spread anywhere else. I am scheduled to get my port put in Thursday morning and my first chemo treatment directly afterwards. To God be the glory! ~Renee Sutton

Biopsy Report

I found a lump in my left breast on June 19th. I called the OB/GYN on Monday the 20th. I had a mammogram and ultrasound on Tuesday the 21st. The doctor called me on Wednesday the 22nd and said it looked like a carcinoma. He scheduled me to see a surgeon. I saw the surgeon on Thursday the 23rd. I had my biopsy done on the 23rd. Today I found out that the results to my biopsy were atypical cells which the doctor said he felt sure were cancer cells. I have an appointment tomorrow in Huntsville and a scheduled lumpectomy for Friday, July 2. I am not quite sure what I will do, but I know in whom I believe. I know that He has plans for me. He has not and never will forsake me. He makes ALL things work together for my good.

Tayler and Blake at Camp 2010

Great Week at Camp

I was blessed to have a great week at Camp Boothe last week, working as a cabin-leader. It was great to be with Will all week.  He is such a blessing and help in all that he does. I was glad to get home and see Renee and Tayler. We missed them, especially since they had been at camp the previous week and our time with them had been very limited.

Statue of Paul Revere

This is a statue of St. Francis in a garden dedicated to him outside the Old North Church.

St. Francis's famous quote is one of my favorites, "In Essential Unity, In Non-Essentials Diversity, in all things Charity."

Inside of the Old North Church. The old North Church is the church where Paul Revere hung the lanterns... "Two if by sea." This church is still in operation today.

Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in Boston

My Dear Friend, Bishop Joey Mojica downstairs in the CUME building in Boston.

Joey and I are participating in the Leader of Leaders Program at the Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in Boston. We are pursuing a Master of Arts in Urban Ministry from GCTS.

Dr. Eldin Villafane is the Department Chair of Urban Ministerial Studies at Gordon Conwell Seminary. Dr. Villafane has been a joy to sit under. He is anointed by the Holy Spirit in his teaching and has a passion for ministering to broken people. In addition to his teaching at Gordon Conwell and Harvard University, Dr. Villafane is the author of "Beyond Cheap Grace" and "Seek the Peace of the City."

Two of my friends led this morning's devotion before class. On the left is Bishop Joey Garcia, Overseer of California Spanish and on the right is Bishop Franklin Ferguson, Pastor of E Street Church of God of Prophecy in Nassau, Bahamas. These two friends have been a pleasure to spend time with this week.

This was the scene when we landed at the Memphis Airport on Monday morning... it was God's grace that got us a flight to Boston out of Memphis!
