Remembering my girl

This weekend is Hannah weekend in the Thorp house. Hannah Joy Thorp was born at our previous home in Bloomington on February 17, 2003. She went to be with Jesus on February 19, 2006. We would be having her 4th birthday party tomorrow. It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year that she's been gone. This weekend we're going to celebrate the time we had with her through pictures, videos, and stories. We will be reminded also that within a very short time, we will be with her again. Praise God for his goodness to us and the promises He gives. See you soon, Han!

Tharp & Thorp a thing of the past

Recently at SMI we said goodbye to Andy Tharp, who trained me in the ways of need sharing and such. What an asset to our team he has been. I will miss greeting him in the morning; (Hey Thorp, Hey Tharp) I will miss his great voice pumping out the Southern Gospel tunes at random. I will miss his Napoleon Dynamite doll, that, with the push of a button, uttered some of the finest quotes in recent human history. I will mostly miss his friendship and having him around. Andy was called to do ministry in Georgia. Go get 'em, Tharp!

Happy Groundhog Day

Where I work, Groundhog Day is actually May 20. Please don't ask me to explain...
