As you can see from the NEW above slideshow, we finally have a new camera and some new pics. Yes, the girls are constantly growing and had their 9 month check-up this past Tuesday. (They were 9 months old on March 16.) They are both doing excellent and believe it or not they weighed exactly the same!!
Chloe' is growing as well and is getting ready to start acting, modeling, and art lessons. If she has her way, you will see her on your tv in no time! LOL!
Continue to pray for the sell of our house. Both grandmothers are coming soon (Melissa's mom & sister are set to visit for a week the end of this month & Jason's mom is coming for a week at Easter) so you know that will bring lots of more pictures.
I am thoroughly enjoying serving with the Fire Department and have responded on several calls. Melissa is back rockin' and rollin' with her BeautiControl and is making lots of new contacts. South Georgia seems to be a wide open area for BeautiControl.
Church is continuing to go great. Jason will preach on Sunday, March 29- the same day we kick off our new youth service called xp3. xp3 will launch that night.
Let us know how you are. We love and miss you all!
Jason, Melissa, Chloe', Kennedy, & Kaitlyn

Wow I'm Tired!
This week, this month, OK, this whole year has been exhausting. Just when it seems we are about to get a break, something else pops onto the calendar.
Not to say that any of these things have been bad, on the contrary, they've all been very good. But I am ready for a few days of R & R.
I responded to my first major fire this past week. A 10-70 structure fire. A trailer was fully engulfed when we arrived on scene. It was a total loss. Please pray for Cassandra as she is trying to piece her life back together after this terrible event.
Melissa and I know what it is to loose all the "stuff" you have (Hurricane Katrina). However, we also know what it is for God to restore even more than you had before and take care of you every step of the way. Pray that Cassandra will see God's hand in this.
We were toned out (a term firefighters use when the alarm goes out because it is a fast high pitched tone) about 2:20 pm on Wednesday and returned to the station about 6:15 pm. Yes, it took a while, and yes, it was on a Wednesday afternoon which is probably my busiest day of the week.
Things at Ray City First Baptist are going great. Once again, busy, but great. We are beginning to get the teams in place that will start making some preliminary plans for our rec facilities on the new property. In fact, we have a big conference in Jonesboro (Georgia that is, NOT Louisiana, ha!) at the end of this month on rec facilities and growth. Also at the end of the month we will launch our new youth service- xp3 and xp3 Live!
The girls are all doing fine. We are now finally over everyone being sick. Chloe had a check-up last week and is looking great and the girls go on St. Patty's Day for there 9 month check-up. Yes, they are almost that old already!
Kaitlyn has started pulling up and crawling all over the place. Kennedy will crawl a little bit, but she's more the talker. They have both said dada, mama, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I'm sure makes sense to them.
Where are the pictures I hear you screaming at me!? :) Unfortunately, our digital camera stopped working shortly before we left to come to Georgia. However, I am hoping to purchase one in the next couple of days. When we do- pics & videos are coming rapidly!
Well, I better run. Melissa just sent a txt msg to start some chicken nuggets for lunch. She just picked up Chloe from school and she is ready to eat!
Like I said, it doesn't stop!

First Call
Just got back from responding to my first "tone"- a 10-70 grass fire with structure nearby. It took us longer to write the report and roll up the hose than put out the fire, but it was fun! It's been a while since I've run code (lights and siren) in a vehicle and yes, I enjoyed it. The main satisfaction though is knowing that we (myself and our fire chief- Bob Mikell) were able to help someone in their time of need. Hmm, being a fire fighter and a pastor have a lot in common!

We Are The Church 2009
Yes, I know tithing is a whole lot more than just "giving money." But in today's downright scary economy, we need to laugh more than ever. This video will help you do just that! It is hilarious!!
