Happy 6th Birthday, Andrew!

Andrew John Flanders turns 6 on Thanksgiving day! Hard to believe it has been six years since we spent Thanksgiving at the hospital. We love our little "Rewski"! On Monday, Andrew got to invite three of his friends from school to a birthday celebration at McDonalds in Frankenmuth. Everyone had a great time and Andrew got some neat stuff...new cowboy boots and belt, the game Sorry, and other odds and ends. Happy Birthday Andrew!!

Spartan For A Day

Most reading this would know that I, John Flanders, am a die-hard UM fan. However, I will not turn down an opportunity to attend any big 10 football game. My father-in-law, Senator Mike Green. Invited me to an MSU game. Our seats were one of the box suites right next to the press boxes and athletic director's box. Also in the booth were reps from the Rose Bowl, and other state politicians including Lieutenant Governor elect Brian Calley. Needless to say, I was in over my head with influential people and great food. MSU won a great game with a 4th quarter comeback. I had a great time with my Father-in-law, even if it had to be in "enemy territory".

Thanksgiving Feast At BBA

Today, Micah and Andrew's school hosted a Thanksgiving Feast for students and parents. The boys got to dress up like indians and pilgrams and had a great time making decorations and food for the feast. Dad and Grandma and Grandpa Flanders came for the feast and had a great time. We are so thankful for BBA and the important ministry it has to our family.

Senator Mike Green

Since we moved to Michigan, we have had the priviledge to support "Grandpa Green's" campaign for state senate in Michigan's 31st district. Throughout this campaign, we have watched the Lord deepen Mr. Green's walk with the Lord as well as provide for his every need. The campaign concluded last night with a decisive win, Green-59%, Mayes 41%. We look forward to continuing to support a conservative move forward in Michigan while we continue to seek the Lord for the reviving work we so desparately need. Congratulations Grandpa Green!!
