Okay… this is not a real picture of me, but I thought it would catch your attention. February 4 was a very special day in the life of our family. Roy was ordained into the ministry by Fielder Road Baptist Church at the 11 AM service. Theologically, ordination is the recognition by the church of particular people within the church as chosen by God to be leaders in His church. This is a very special honor for us.

The ceremony before the chuch was very holy and special as the people in the church were asked to say an amen if they agreed with the findings of the committee who chose me and Dr. John Taylor to be ordained. They did agree and the elders and pastors came forward and laid hands over us to pray. It was a special time. We have a special party afterward (right before the Super Bowl) with some friends to share the moment.

Many have asked that now that we are ordained, will we be leaving ISI to pastor a church. We do not feel that calling at this time. God directs our paths, but we intend to remain in the DFW area doing what we are already doing. Praise the Lord for His work in all this.
