Jen's surgery went well on Tuesday.
They removed 12 inches of her colon, they did not have to remove her gall bladder or appendix. She is feeling pretty good, just very sore. She will probably be there about 3 days. She is in room 808 at Jennie Stuart.

Hey Team,
Thank you so much for the love and support you gave the DNOW group this weekend!
DNOW is one of the most exciting and most important weekends in the life of our church and community.
Here are DNOW videos of Friday & Saturday sessions.
Friday night was signup and travel to host homes where the youth stayed and had discipleship.
Saturday was fun time for all.
I have another video that I will finish and share which has some interviews and clips of the over 900 youth that attended Saturday night. Please in in prayer for this weeks youth revival that continues through Wednesday.
Randy
==============================
Working with Angela, we have got a new video page that will show our videos without going to Google:

Hey Team:
D-Now is one of the most exciting and most important weekends in the life of our church and community. Many youth -- churched and unchurched -- will be participating. Many will have the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord for the first time. Others will have the opportunity to grow in their faith and strengthen their commitment to Him. Let's pray for Jeff and the other youth pastors, those who will be leading the small groups, the host families, and, of course, for the students who will be participating.
Let's also continue to pray for Dr. Gardner as he provides essential leadership for our church during this interim period. Without question, this is a great opportunity for us as a church to assess, evaluate, dream, and prepare for what lies ahead. Let's don't miss this opportunity, and let's support Dr. Gardner as he leads. Also, if you have not been attending worship services recently, you are missing one of the most effective, gifted preachers you will ever hear.
Finally, as we continue our study in S.S. on "Moral Earthquakes and Secret Faults," this Sunday we are going to discuss sex (i.e. sexual immorality). We're going to divide up into groups -- Eva is going to lead the women, and the men are still stuck with me. Hope to see you there.
Press on...

Andrew's Dallas Cowboys came close this year, and had a great season. I have to get at him that my team, Green Bay, and 'old man' Brett Favre is still going.
I found an interesting story that I wanted to share, both football and faith. They don't come more earnest than KGB, whose intense Christian faith and gift of gab are simply facts of life in the Green Bay Packers' locker room.
Packers defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (KGB), handed out 300 DVDs to teammates, coaches and staff in the offeseason. The name of the film? "Facing the Giants.''

"FACING THE GIANTS is a great movie about how God can change lives on and off the football field. Every family in America should see it."
Congratulations to our own Kelley Workman on her promotion to Executive Vice-President/Chief Credit Officer at Planters Bank.

Hey guys, I wasn't sure if you knew, so I wanted to pass it on.

Hello –
Steve called tonight and said the funeral for Tiffany's grandmother will be Tuesday at 11 a.m. It will be at Cassidy-Turley Funeral Home, but I forgot to ask the town. We have $50 for the gift when she returns and I will get a gift certificate at KY American Seed. If anyone else wants to give, let me know, but we do have enough to make a nice gift from the class. If you want to call, Steve's cell is 270-348-6001 and Tiffany's is (270) 348-4422. They will probably come home Wednesday. If you get other information, please let me know.
Thanks much for helping with the Travis' reception. It looked GREAT to see so many beautiful young people serving and assisting.
Have a great week!
Love you all,
..Carolyn

Hello,
Just got through helping Dr. Travis get his & Sue's Christmas present setup,
..a new Dell Desktop Computer!
Man, I have to tell you, he has really took a jump on technology. He had a Windows98 Dell, and now has a shiny (it really is), Intel Duo Core / Vista Premium machine! He is ready for all the photos and movies he & Sue can throw at it.
Please take note of his new email address below, and keep in touch.

Hey Team:
This Sunday we will conclude our study on ""Seven Words to Change Your Family." I am continuing to think about and process our last lesson on "Commitment." I want to make sure that I am not like the multitudes who were just "going along" (Luke 14:25) with Jesus. Instead, I want my commitment to Him to be my first and most important priority -- even above family. As we discussed, this is necessary if I hope to be the kind of husband, father, and friend that He wants me to be.
I thought Dr. Gardner's sermon ("Ships That Didn't Sail") was the perfect capstone to our study on commitment. So often as we make commitments our "ships don't sail." Perhaps it is because we never really intended them to sail, or because we procrastinate and are content with the status quo, or perhaps because the enemy destroy our ships.
Whatever the reason, Dr. Gardner reminded us that we need to (1) Remember who we are (sinners saved by God's grace); (2) Recharge our batteries by regularly assembling with other believers; (3) Head for deeper waters (i.e. take more risks); and (4) Don't wait! ("some day" and "one of these days" will eventually disappear from our vocabulary).
Please continue to pray for Dr. Gardner, our staff and our pastor search committee.
Please also continue to pray for Dr. Travis and Sue, and remember the reception to be held in their honor this Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the church.
Press on...

Hello all,
I have uploaded Dr. Travis's last service for viewing.
A big thank you to Angela for borrowing her camera, and Emory for the duct tape to hold the camera on the tripod ;-)
