BRANSON MINI-REUNION IN AUGUST!

Moy's health did not allow her to join her siblings in Branson in August. Here's a recent picture of Moy with Robbie as they enjoy each other's company.


.

First generation siblings, children of Norbon Palmer Sikes, Sr. and Emma Antha Gibbs Sikes, who were able to meet in Branson were Jack, Don, Bob, Kathryn, and Barry.

.

Joined by their spouses, they make a terrific looking group. Bob/Janet, Jack/Robbie, Don/Bessie, Barry/Ruth, and Kathryn.

.

So, we heard that there were second and third generation folk present? Anyone have any pictures to prove it? Send them to Patti! We heard you had second generation: Stacy, Carol, Sharla, and Kent. Third generation was Caleb, Krista, and James. Anyone else? What about someone writing a paragraph or two about what you all did?

Ephesians 5:28-31

"...husbands ought to love their wives

as their own bodies.

He who loves his wife loves himself.

After all, no one ever hated his own body,

but he feeds and cares for it,

just as Christ does the church-

for we are members of his body.

"For this reason a man

will leave his father and mother

and be united to his wife,

and the two will become one flesh."

CASEY SIKES' MARRIES!

Our own Casey Sikes married Jesse Crofton
on Saturday, July 11, 2009

Congratulations!
God's Richest Blessings on you both!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

.
"Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast,

it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,

always trusts,

always hopes,

always perseveres.

.
Love never fails."


.
.
Nebraska Cousin Cassandra made a road trip with mom, Brenda, to meet up with Michigan cousin's Brianna and Brandon (and, of course, Dad and Mom - Brian and Shawna).

.
Of course, the three cousins joined their parents to pose for this photo with Casey's Daddy and Mom, Stacy and Carol.


.
Jesse and Casey, we're glad you plan to join us next year for the reunion. Thanks for already making your reservations!

JOSH MARCUM IN TRAGIC WRECK!

As many of you know, a bus and driver were hired to take a group of church youth in Bolivia to a retreat. The bus went down an embankment with terrible consequences. Three young ladies are dead. Josh has 3 broken ribs. Many others are receiving medical treatment now.
Julie tells the details clearly on their blog that you can link to up close to the top of the right sidebar. Please pray everyday for Josh, Julie, girls, and their church family as they heal spiritually, physically, and emotionally.



Hebrews 4:16

"Let us therefore draw near with confidence
to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy
and may find grace to help
in time of need."
