(L to R: Peter on banjo, Gracie on mandolin, Sarah on fiddle, Matthew on guitar, Kitty on guitar, and R.G. on bass on the Vision Forum stage. What a blessing!). . . to begin?? What a week (and some) this has been! I had hoped to post while at Jamestown, and the facilities were available, but time got spent (appropriately) on outstanding sessions and with family projects. When we were “home”, we were finishing, up to the last minute, costumes for little boys who decided they wanted to be frontiersmen after all. Oh, it was fun, but it did keep us busy during “downtime”.
The Lord has been so gracious and merciful as we traveled many miles. The large RV we rented has been a challenge, but definitely a blessing. Danny has really improved in his ability to handle it (we won’t talk about a couple of ... umm ... incidents!) So we are thinking of getting the old Beaver we have at home back in shape and adventuring out a little more often.
Where to begin? The work, planning, expense, inconvenience of travel with a large group were all definitely worth it. God is doing some amazing things in this age. He is drawing families to cry out for His clearly seen plan and purpose as revealed in His Word. He is giving family patriarchs a vision for family evangelism, expressed in everyday life and action in their communities. He always has His remnant, in every era, and He will accomplish His eternal plan.
One high point for us was when the grandchildren were asked to play on stage before an evening meeting (above). They did a good job and encouraged several other families who have been working on playing music together. This grandmother had a ball giving out copies of our “rough” CD to friends new and old.
I hope to post some specific impressions of the Jamestown 400th celebration over the next few days. It will be a highlight of our family’s memories for a long time. Thank you, Lord, for your providence to the faithful families of Jamestown -- 1607 and 2007. Thank you for your goodness and mercy to the Frodge family.

What a fantastic experience it was - going to Jamestown "en masse". The celebration was so focused on all the right things, the fellowship with like-minded believers so sweet, and having a picture taken with the grandson of the 10th president of the United States so exciting!!! But to top it all off, our dear extended family was able to experience this together - that was the biggest blessing!
Well, our little family made it through the second day of the JT400 treasure hunt before we were eliminated. We found out that details are VERY important!! We are pretty sure that our wrong answer was a result of leaving the "Jr." off of a name!
Oh well!! Considering the fact that at the beginning of the treasure hunt, our goal was to make it into the first 1000, and we made it into the final 35, we are pretty happy! The hunt was such a wonderful experience - just icing on the JT400 cake!
Doug's Blog has some great pictures. Including some of the FANTASTIC fireworks!

Dear Mrs. Frodge,
I did not know those were YOUR grandchildren playing up on stage!! They were wonderful!! We loved hearing them playing songs of fun and faith. What a delight. I'm sure you were quite proud of them. : )
In Christ,
