Ian enters Air Force Security Forces Training

Our son Ian has graduated from Air Force basic training and is now in Security Forces technical training. He will be at Lackland Air Force Base until late September.

A fun day fishing

A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. A good day fishing is even better.

Getting Ready to Move

The good news is that I was unanimously approved by the Candidacy committee. I am on my way to Wartburg Seminary, in July.

Seminary starts July the 20th so we hope to be in Dubuque by the Second week in July. Our house is on the market, we are packing and getting ready to move.

The really big News is that our son Ian has joined the Air Force. He is in his third week of basic training and doing well. We will keep you updated.

Beloved Mother

The bad news. My Mother passed away from terminal cancer May 2008. She will be greatly missed.

Just an Update

All my paperwork is completed and the Seminary has provisionally accepted my application. I will meet with the Synod Candidacy Committee the 26th of April for the final interview. If that meeting has a positive outcome we hope to move to Dubuque the first week on July. We have our house almost ready to be put on the market. Getting the house ready to sell was harder than we anticipated, but we are almost there. Keep Lana and me in your prayers.

I passed yeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was a big day in Charlie's world. Much to Lana's amazement I passed my psychological evaluation, and received a positive endorsement. Wow, what a relief. :)

A new year, a year of change

This will be a year of change for us. We will put our house on the market in April and be ready to move to Iowa the first week of July. I meet the ELCA candidacy committee in April for final approval, hopefully. I will keep you updated as we progress.
