Welcome!!!

Hey everyone.  Welcome to the new site!

There are several things that aren't up and running yet.  I don't have all of the old posts on the new site yet, there are some graphic things that aren't quite where I want them to be yet, and the comments pages aren't set up all the way yet. 

Other than that, everything is good.

There is a big, permanent link on the front page of the greenhouse website. This way you can reach us through the greenhouse site, or just go directly to www.joshbuck.org


Just a quick check in... things are sketchy in the Buck household this week.  Everybody's sick.  I woke up in the middle of the night last night and Ephram was coughing in his crib.  Zoe was on the floor coughing, and Noah was in bed with Shelly coughing.  I was in bed coughing... or some sad form thereof.  My cough sounds more like a ribbit.  This is the first cold I have had since the accident, and without any stomach muscles, it's hard to work up a good cough or a good sneeze.  If I am in my wheelchair, I can take a deep breath and lean forward.  This shoots the air fast enough that I can muster up a little cough.  But if I am in bed, it is a complete loss.

There is a lot of progress on the house.  The windows are in.  Most of the electrical is in.  We keep hearing that the move in date might be June 10.  This sounds so soon.  We don't want to get our hopes up too much, but the sooner the better.  Hopefully we will have pictures soon. 

Check out the new website and let me know what you think. 
Josh

The new site looks great!I know it's a lot of work! I'm not familiar with the MYSPACE stuff but I did get to hear the Ice Cream story and the others and I'm really touched by them. Consentrate on getting well, and the rest will come in time. I'll let our Chapel Hill Family know about the new site and the new opportunities for ministry coming out of it. I haven't posted for a while but I have been checking everyday, and I see this year being full of hope and growth and many happy days for your whole family. Our prayers are always with you. Blessings Linda A. Chapel Hill, Battle Creek

Hi Josh and Shelly (and Jean!): LOVE the new site. Great job!!! Wanted to say how much I appreciate all the latest blogging and updates. How on earth you make time to do that amongst all you have to deal with is still beyond me! But I am still praying for you guys and I still continue to tell everyone I know and meet about your inspirational testimony. Heard this song and thought immediately of you so I wanted to encourage you with it today. It's a beautiful song and the lyrics pretty much summarize your attitude and story. Praying without ceasing in southern California!! xoxox Kristie S. (Jenny and Nick York say hello!)****** "Our Hope Endures", Natalie Grant:****

*****You would think only so much can go wrong***
*****Calamity only strikes once****
******And you assume this one has suffered her share******
*****Life will be kinder from here*****
*****Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden for years*****
*****Sometimes the sky rains night after night*****
****When will it clear?*****

******But our Hope endures the worst of conditions*****
*****It's more than our optimism******
******Let the earth quake*******
******Our Hope is unchanged******

****How do we comprehend peace within pain?****
****Or joy at a good man's wake?****
****Walk a mile with the woman whose body is racked*****
****With illness, yet she marches on...*****
*****Oh, 'cause sometimes the sun stays hidden for years****
*****Sometimes the sky rains night after night****
****When will it clear?****

****But our Hope endures the worst of conditions****
****It's more than our optimism****
***Let the earth quake****
****Our Hope is unchanged****

*****Emmanuel, God is with us****
****El Shaddai, all sufficient***
****We never walk alone****
****And this is our hope****

****But our Hope endures the worst of conditions****
****It's more than our optimism*****
****Let the earth quake****
****Our Hope is unchanged****

I am writing from Gary Golob's home in West Palm Beach, Fl. I love the modern look of your new site. It is such a different look from Greenhouse although I really like that look too. I hope you all are feeling better. I can say first hand that there is warm weather in some places in the country and it will be returning to michigan. We are looking forward to seeing you guys in Marion next weekend when you speak at the IWU youth conference. We are praying for you and are so proud of how you both are allowing God to use your lives.Love you all.
Mike and Cindy Buck

Hi, Josh and Shelly! The new site looks great so far! I'll be checking back often.

You are welcome to come over and check mine out any time you like!

God bless and keep your family safe as you work your way through all these cold/flu viruses that hit your family full force. Hopefully, by the time you read this, you'll all be on your way out!

Many Hugs and Blessings!
Shar
