Kenda's Update: August 17th
Psalm 37:5-6 Commit your
way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall
bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Well, our visit was good, as always! There is a lot of
ministry going on in her dorm and the Spirit is really moving. Hannah is also
receiving from the new believer's. How awesome that God's Spirit is available
to all who are believers and of a willing heart. The Bill Glass
Ministry should be coming into her unit at the end of this month, please keep
this in prayer. She is of course really missing the kids, and knows they are
missing her. Larry and Hannah just celebrated 11 years of marriage and were
able to see each other on their anniversary. Hannah had her hair in little
braids to "dress up" for their "date".
Now, unfortunately this visit was cut short by an error on the part
of the guard! They were both very disappointed that they got less
than 2 hrs together! God has continually reaffirmed His scriptures to her and
she continues to cling to Him and live out His promises and truth! Praise the
Lord for the approval of oral arguments on Sep. 11th. May this season end soon!
Psalm 61
So I went to see my wife this week, like every week. I got a chance to talk to a couple that was there to see their daughter for the first time. She has been there a week. They were asking how things worked, how long lines took. Then, they asked how long I had been coming?
As the words where coming out of my mouth (“Over a year.”) I was amazed at how long it had been! 16 months have gone by, as well as over 45,000 miles, 1,400 gallons of gas on average, countless Dr Peppers, at least 20 Monsters, and 1 cup of coffee (I don't drink coffee), 2 quarts of oil, 1 motorcycle tire, 1 car tire, 6 pairs of sun glasses (most lost along the highway except 1 pair I dropped in the toilet as it was flushing).Wow!!Has it been that much? Nuts!
And yet, so worth it.The time I get with my wife means so much to me.To hear what God is doing in her life, and those around her. As I sit listening to my wife telling me how this week God has laid it on someone’s heart to start the same Bible study she is going to start this week in another dorm (that makes 5 groups of inmate led Bible study). How women are not getting out of work to go, but are choosing to use there free time to study God’s Word.
As I saw the joy in my wife's eyes at what God was doing there, the verse in James 1 was laid on my heart, “Consider It PURE JOY my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds.” There is pure Joy in what the Lord is doing for her and me. God is good!!!
So in closing I would say be filled with the joy of the Lord because there is nothing like it!It has the power to reach into the darkest places and bring Light, Hope, and most important, joy; for our savior Loves us!

Update on Larry Overton's Case
Wednesday, 12 March 2008
Let us rejoice that Larry will never have to go to trial! He has pleaded "no contest" in the case against him. He has been given a five year probation and a $5,000 fine. After 1 year and 11 months he can petition the court to drop all conditions and be free of probation as well. He was given deferred adjudication - which means that this will not be on his permanent record. He did not say he was guilty of anything. The local DA has said that because of evidence or a lack of evidence against Larry, the charge of capital murder has been dropped.
We can thank the Lord that he will never have to go to trial over this!

way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall
bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.

Psalm 61
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas— As newlyweds in 1997, neither Hannah Overton nor her husband Larry wanted to move back to this port city. Both had grown up here, but Hannah wanted to do missionary work abroad and Larry remembered as a kid how its churches were disunited. Yet they thought God wanted them back—perhaps to unify the city, though they couldn't say how. Disobeying God, they agreed, was worse than living in Corpus Christi. They moved into a house on the south end of town that Larry remodeled. They started a family that now includes five children born to them.
Please join in on the Thursday evening prayer from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. at Calvary Chapel of the Coastland's located at 3001 RODD FIELD RD. just South of Saratoga.
