Francis Collins, Renaissance Man

Not only was Francis Collins the director for the Human Genome Project, made many landmark discoveries of disease genetics, author of The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief, and now has been nominated by Pres. Obama (and now confirmed) to be the new director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)... but apparently he also can rock.

At the University of Miami School of Medicine graduation, the speaker there was Francis Collins, who is the Director of the National Genome Human Research Institute at the National Institute Health. All of us graduating students thought he would just be another boring talking head. Man, were we ever pleasantly surprised. Not only was the talk interesting, but the crowning point was when he took out a guitar and played a hilarious version of "My Way" entitled "Their Way". Sorry for the shoddy audio and shaky hands, it was the best I could do. Anyone who graduated from anything can really relate to this video.

new week-

Hello all,
Are you learning and growing? What is God leading you and speaking about? Hope you can come and share this with us- Wed July 29- Matt 15. Please let me know if you will be coming for supper!

Shall we make it 2 in a row? Looking forward to seeing you this week. We jump into Matt 14. Also, something light for supper. Haven't yet decided.

time off now lets meet

Who's here? Lets plan on meeting. I think Shivelys and Martha were the only ones on Wed so this week lets go back to Matt 13?
Also we'll plan a little bit of salad and BLTs.

Update and New Address

Hi everyone,

We are almost settled here in Charleston. All the unpacking is finished and we have learned our way around pretty quickly. We met some of our neighbors last week when we had a little incident (got locked out in the middle of a rain storm and we needed some shelter) and we will be meeting my fellow residents tonight at little get-together. Peter has adjusted quickly to working from home. I think it has been more difficult for him since I have been around the apartment being a distraction. But I will be off to work soon. I took my board exam today and if I passed I will be a licensed pharmacist next week!!

Will and Christy-I hope the wedding and honeymoon were a blast! I saw a few pictures online and you both looked great!

We will miss you all, but I'll try to give you little updates during the next year. Our new address is 900 King Street Apt 38B, Charleston, SC 29403.

-Ramonna

Meeting postponed

As you saw in my email, Bill and Liz are traveling to LA to attend the funeral of Bill's Aunt. Keep them in prayer as they travel. Lots going on at Hillsong with VBS this week. I travel to Colorado on Friday. We'll pick up next week.

great time on Wed

Wow, what a great time on Wed saying good by to Peter and Ramonna. We loaded the truck last night and they are on their way. God Speed, friends!
