…Come ye yourselves apart…and rest a while… (Mark 6:31). Oh the blessing of those times of rest and refreshment. They are needful. And when accompanied by abounding joy, ministry opportunities, and uplifting fellowship, the result is a season of refreshment. Such was the case when our family had the joy of spending a weekend in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia with the Staddons (click here for their report)!

Four of our famous taste testers Boiling apples to turn into apple sauce! YEAH!!

Exactness was key! Many hands makes light work!

The fastest apple cutting team around! apple jelly in the making!!

Ethan really enjoyed Jonathan and Kenan. THE DANIELS

Whether we were working together, ministering with each other, or planning for the upcoming FEW Conference, wholesome conversations, memorable moments, and joyous sounds abounded.

An unexpected blessing was the opportunity to meet and fellowship with the Fleshman family from southern West Virginia. Hearing the testimony of Christ at work in their family was of great encouragement.

Wilkes team tuning up! Daniel inspired us all with a awesome classical piece

What a joy it is to see a family sing with joy unto the Lord. It was such a joy to meet the Fleshman's and we all were sorry to see them leave!

What a joy it is to hear of every day families who take joy in following the leading of the Lord to be salt and light in the communities they have been called to live in.

The game of ROOK! Go Mr. Staddon!

Timing is key! Will David take it with his 14?

I have the rook!! When shall I play it? Hmmmm...... The moment has come!
