June 2008


Lilly arrived at 10:53 pm (central), June 29, 2008. She is 6 lbs., 14.8 oz., and 19.5 in. long. We named her after her Great-grandmothers. She and Mommy are doing very well!  [Mommy preferred that I not share on the internet the pictures that have her in them, but I will tell you that she is as beautiful as ever.]

 

 

Psalm 145:3-6  3 Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. 5 On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. 6 Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, And I will tell of Your greatness.

…and we’re still waiting!  Patty is doing quite well.  She’s even done some painting this week with her mom(kitchen and master bedroom).  I married an amazing woman, eh?!

Here are two ways to receive items from Christian Communicators Worldwide free of charge (for U.S. and Canadian leaders only).

An important letter explaining more about receiving help in purchasing books or CDs may be found here.

I dropped Jim and his family off at the airport early yesterday morning.  They are headed to Romania, and then Greece, for about four weeks.  In the Lord’s timing, our new intern at our church and his family will be house-sitting while the Elliff’s are away. 

Jim will be preaching numerous times on this trip, and the whole family will be involved in various types of ministry, including strengthening relationships with those who are our partners in the gospel.  I know they would all appreciate your prayers (Jim, Pam [the family would be lost without her!], Benjamin [Boyce college student], Bryan [headed to Boyce in the fall], and Laura). 

I wrote this article remembering those lazy summers in First Baptist Church of Athens, Ohio.

We would be thankful for your prayers for Patty and the little girl God is knitting together in Patty’s womb.  The due date is June 24.  We are guessing she will be born on Father’s Day since Katie was born on Labor Day and Luke on Thanksgiving.
