Happy Halloween from the MTN!

Brei, Zachary, and Sydney all had a great and safe time trick or treating

at the Dorms at Appalachian State. The Dorm Kids welcome the tricks or treaters the night before Halloween to a safe place to receive treats. If you live in the Boone area, you and your kids should check it out next year! The students love to see the kids in their costumes.

PS--My fave scary movies for Halloween:

1. The Thing (Both Versions)

2. The Blair Witch Project

3. An American Werewolf in London

4. Dracula (Bela Lugosi Version)

5. Night of the Living Dead

6. 28 Days Later

7. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original Version Only)

8. Salem's Lot

9. The Exorcist

10. Jurassic Park

11. Alien

Peace from the MTN!

Happy Fall Everybody!!!!

Happy Fall Everybody!! We have had some warm weather for a couple of weeks, as you can see with Brei's bare feet at the left--but lately we have cooled down with some rain-we had a pretty hard frost this morning. We pray that some of the rain we have had will head out west to help with the wildfires in California. I will try to do some more postings soon--so don't give up on me, okay?

Love from the MTN!

Our future plans!

Hello all--sorry I have not posted in a long time--I will try to correct that in the future! Anyway for everyone who has not heard, I am stepping down as Pastor of Bethany Lutheran Church, effective in December 2007. We will continue to stay in the parsonage until next summer when we hope to begin a new chapter of our lives and ministry. I have applied to five different Chaplaincy programs in order to earn my certification as a Hospital Chaplain. After about a year's residency, I hope to be working as a hospital chaplain. Many changes will be coming to our lives and I ask all of you who read this to pray for us as God leads us into uncharted waters.

As before and from now on,
Peace and Love and Blessings,
Tom, Shelly, and Breianna
