Progress

                                                 
  We had a great time at Polishing the Pulpit this year in Sevierville, TN.  A big thanks is extended towards the Bradd family for allowing us to stay in their lovely rented cabin. Their five boys all have names beginning with the letter "A" so we fit in real well. Ha/ha.
     
     We set up a table, and a donation box like last year saying " What's a dollar? Help send books to Africa." Adam and I talked with several individuals who advised us concerning purchasing items for the library in order to make the best use of the money. Over the next week or so, Adam will be writing a few posts to inform you about these ideas! Also about 10 men said they would spread the news about the library in order to help us raise the needed funds.

       
     Introducing PML's new logo! Adam and Mrs. Hochdorf (with just a few tiny suggestions from me) designed it a few months ago, but not until PTP were we able to really use it. In my opinion, it's great by itself or when paired with " Parker Memorial Library" (subtracting the typed "P" for the tree "P.").

      More news to come soon!
                     
     Till then,
Adam and Abigail

Reaching Out

Hello from Pa! We had another great clothing giveaway on November 7th. The congregation really stepped up and we had even more clothes to give out to the community this time. It was a good thing too, because a friend of a family who lost their home to a fire stopped by and gathered up 12-15 bags of clothes and food. That brought our total to 75 bags of clothing and food given out and 18 families aided. We also had a member bring a bunch of books she no longer needed. When I saw this table, all I could think was "I need these!" Even though they were mostly children's books, there was this desire to take them all home with me. I obviously have a problem, hehe. The helpers enjoyed a meal of sloppy joes and baked beans. We would have had a bigger turn out but one of the members needed help moving so 5 or 6 men spent all morning and some of the afternoon assisting them. All in all, it was a great day. Picture on Right: Emily...

The Lord's Providence is Amazing!

Beautiful Mount Meru                                                                         Greetings!            This post is ridiculously overdue and I ask for your forgiveness. I have been preoccupied, as you will see. While I have not been as focused on the library itself as much, what I am about to tell you is going to effect the library tremendously ! I will not go into all the details, as that would make for a very long story. I will try and just give the information that is necessary, while still making it interesting.      Back in August of last year, I met Adam Rymon at Polishing the Pulpit (a week long lectureship held in Pigeon Forge, TN). We talked for about ten minutes, basically...

Potter Children's Home

   What a wonderful season Christmas is. Pretty lights, the scent of pine trees, delicious goodies and time with family! You want to hear a funny story? Adam has needed a new office chair for quite some time. Recently, I sat down on it with him and crack! I broke it. The poor thing would lean to one side when you sat on it.  So, I bought him the exact same one, brand new, for Christmas. It arrived today and I secretly began trying to put it together in the laundry room. After about two hours, I gave up. I decided to let him have it early so he could help me finish putting the pieces together (smart, huh). Well, he gets to looking at it and discovers I've placed the armrests on the wrong sides. Fix that, everything else goes in place. Ta-da! All finished. Get it into the office and it won't tilt back. Adam fiddles with the chair, sits back down, and almost falls face forward because it's leaning the wrong way! We had a good laugh over it. But I've learned m...
