I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~Romans 8:38-39

Tomorrow a few of us plan to work at the site photographing for inventory purposes in order to clean up more piles of stuff. We really need to make some progress quickly so we can move forward with our next phase. Please pray for God's direction and wisdom. If you want to come assist in the endeavor, we would appreciate your help. The May Tree is in full bloom as of yesterday!

Today we spent many hours seeking advice and ideas from Bruce, Wanda, and Tony; what a help they have been to us. Then Miriam brought us a delicious dinner again. And before we left the property, a four-legged visitor came by to greet us.

Evidently Mr. Moose found the ash to be as irritating as we do.

In our files was hidden this signed photo of the TeenPact class.

We highly recommend you visit the North Star Bakery!

The North Star Bakery man provided us free bread as a gift when he discovered that our home had burned, and we were happily surprised to discover that his daughter, Jessica, was one of the hard-working and valiant firefighters who fought our fire.

Kim and Molly and their family have done so much for us I don't know where to begin to thank them. From the day of the fire when they rushed over to be with us as we watched the inferno, they have been there to support us. They provided us the clothes to wear when we were in our jammies (or underwear) and socks, ferried us to the DMV office to get our driver's licenses reissued, gave us rides to the eye clinic to replace glasses and a way to get Psalm to gymnastics, a new purse (otherwise known as a "command center") for me, set up the e-mail communication system, worked on the site, loaned us a cell phone, brought us food, helped us clean, and let us borrow their covered trailer for moving. "Thank you" doesn't seem nearly adequate. We only wish they all had been available to grace the photo.

On Friday, May 21st, the Frontiersman ran an encouraging article describing some of the obstacles which Micah had to overcome in order to successfully compete in the piano competition. Thanks to many of you (including Fairview Loop Baptist Church, Lucky and Leslie, Dr. Resinger, the Barnes, Svetlana, the Halley's etc.) who graciously provided him a place or avenue to practice.
