Greetings Saints,

STERLING, ILLINOIS

It's been an eventful week or so since our last letter. On the weekend we had two meetings in Sterling, Illinois. With a small team we ministered to scores of individuals and saw many tears as God did some deep healing in the hearts of the people. The anointing was strong on Brenda on Saturday night. She shared a moving word on God's ownership of our lives. On Sunday morning I was led to share about God's positioning people ready to take the mountains of business, politics, entertainment, news media, education, etc.

God is really stirring up people to move forward and position themselves to conquer the mountains the enemy has taken from us. They are going to Hollywood, Business College, etc., preparing to impact their field for the Kingdom of Heaven.

BACK TO LAKE ZURICH

As many know, we have been spending time in our motor home again, We were parked in front of our house while Tim, Nathan, our daughter, Barbie and four grandsons stayed in our house. We kept it winterized and used the plumbing in the house. It was good to have a quiet place to go and sleep. Our son-in-law, Caleb, was in Wyoming working on a new refinery as a pipe-fitter. He wasn't sure if he would move to another job or come back home.

A few days ago, the refrigerator stopped working and the next night we ran out of propane in the middle of the night. There was too much snow on the awnings and in the driveway to move the motor home and get more propane. At the same time we found out that Caleb was heading back, since the job was finished. Since they weren't going to leave immediately, like we thought they might. we felt it was time to move back to Lake Zurich where we were house-sitting before Christmas. It was time to leave the motor home and move into a house again with the very cold weather.

So we are back in a warm house with all the luxuries. Tim has started working at Olive Gardens in Rockford and Nathan may start working at Starbucks there, so they are staying in South Beloit for now. Brenda and I are loving a little quiet time, but we'll be busy again this weekend and next weekend, and going to Israel next month after Brenda does the ladies retreat in Genoa.
