Update

Hello everyone! Just a little note to let people what the Gays are doing (gosh that always sounds bad when I put it like that!). Anyway, this last week we moved into Matt Johnson's place until we can go to our new church. We finished "getting here" on Thursday night (6/29) On Friday morning, about two hours before I had to leave to catch a plane at O'Hare to get down to a neutral pulpit in TN, Jennifer fell down the stairs. She's okay, but for a while I didn't think I could go preach.
But I did. It was a LONG weekend for Jennifer, but they all made it. I went down to Madisonville, Tennessee, where I just fell in love with not only the place but more importantly the people. Sunday afternoon the PNC extended me a call which I accepted on the spot. So we're off to Madisonville, TN!! COM is not meeting at all during July, so I won't be able to really get down there until the end of August, but we're really looking forward to it.
Madisonville is about 45 minutes south of Knoxville, about 10 minutes outside of the Great Smoky Mountains national park and Cherokee National Forest. It's really pretty there, so if you want to come down, just let me know. I'll probably have an accent in about a month, but that's life, huh?
Thanks for praying for us!

Congrats, John.
If you have not lived in the South before, you might have to adjust to a somewhat slower pace than you are accustomed to, but there is nothing wrong with that. Enjoy it.

Nothing wrong with a southern accent, either.

God bless y'all.
