A Gift from St. Phillip's UMC!!

Don't you just love it when God just brings everything together in a wonder way??  We took our daughter to college in Texas in August, and while there we stayed with a wonderful friend, Barbara, that we met one Sunday back in 2005 when we were sharing in a church in N. Georgia.  While in Texas, we went with our friend to her friends', Steve and Suzanne's, home for dinner...and in the midst of our conversation, I mentioned that we were in desperate need for computers in our office at the seminary, that our computers were so old and slow that it very much affected our labors.  Well, Barbara and Suzanne are both computer teachers...and Steve is a pastor at a church that was just then replacing their "older" but still very functional computers!!  To make a long story short, they all put their heads together, invited others at the university and the church to jump in...and we now have "new", fast, fully-functioning computers in the seminary office...and they are networked, and they all have internet!!  WOW!!  Thank you, St. Phillips UMC, for the gift of computers...and thank you friends in Georgetown and at Southwestern University for helping all of this come to pass!!

  
Itzeel, our Admin. Asst., and I are getting ready to set 'em up!!





Itzeel LOVES her new "compu"...and is already catching up on student grades, seminary publications, and all of that!






Panchita is able to see her work more clearly as she takes care of all the seminary finances.




We are so, so grateful to those who gave time, resources and all that went into make this possible!  May the Lord bless you all as you have blessed us!

Oh yes...and the Dean is a happy fellow too!!

As I recall, it was a the end of our dinner together and I asked if there was anything we could do for you all... expecting you to say "pray for us" but instead you said "what we really need are three PCs running XP" which happened to be exactly what we were going to have in a few weeks once the church upgraded their machines.

The next night the trustees voted to purchase new machines.

All in God's time.
