Hello Class,

I guess my wife and I had fallen of the face of the planet for a while. Actually, we are still in the Pacific Northwest living 40 minutes south of Seattle. No children, but two endearing cats.

In the spring of 2001 we finally started attending church again. We found a smaller church in our neighborhood with a lot of couples our age. When they let us sing on their worship team, we knew we had found the right place. God has blessed us at this church immensely! I was able to help start their first men's weekly small group and really become part of the entire men's ministry.

Although vice president of the company and receiving a bi-weekly paycheck, Loretta really doesn't do squat for our moving company. She earns her stripes at the family clinic where she works 36 plus hours a week. Of course she does a lot more of the chores around the home, so she earns that extra check making up for my uselessness around the house.

God has blessed our moving company, Apex Movers. In July of 2001 we signed a contract with a larger moving company in the Seattle area as their sub-contractor. So we do all their jobs for them. Overnight, the company jumped from three part time employees to eleven mostly full-time employees.

That jump was very overwhelming! I quit my secure job and jumped somewhat blindly into this moving service being my twenty four hour- seven day a week- all encompassing lifestyle. Thank the Lord for my friends and family covering me in prayer.

I know God is using my business as a ministry as well as a source of income. The last couple of months have been much better as I have been able to hire some strong Christian men to surround and support me. Everyday still brings a new trial and challenge, and I welcome them (not that I like them). God has been using these to grow me... through so many failures, he still continues to bless our family and business.

Please pray for us. You can check out our web site at apexmovers.com (It will be updated soon.) We welcome any of you to come and visit us if you are out this way. At least give us a phone call.
