Wick's 2018 Highlights

It's hard to believe that we've been back in the States for 2.5 years now. God continues to shower his blessings on us. Here are past Wickersham highlights: 2010201120122013201420152016, & 2017.

January - We celebrate five years of having Josiah Lee in our family. Where did we celebrate? At a Chinese restaurant of course!

February - My dad turned the big 80 on Groundhog Day. I'm thankful to have a dad who has been very supportive of me throughout my life.

March - The Wickershams take a mini vacay to Nashville, Tennessee. This might be the closest we get to the Parthenon in this life.

April - Grace Noel makes a public profession of faith by getting baptized at Faith Bible Church. There were lots of tears of joy.

May - We take another mini vacay and enjoy the rides at Kentucky Kingdom & Hurricane Bay in Louisville. I'm grateful for a job which provides the finances and time to get away with the family.

June - I get a nice suntan while directing three ECS soccer camps, one of which Josiah Lee attends. It was especially cool to have Rosalie & Grace Noel assisting me.

July - I help chaperone a youth group trip to Cedar Point and Scene75 Entertainment Center. I had no idea roller coasters can hit 120 MPH in four seconds. Woo!

August - We finally become members of Faith Bible Church. A humongous shout-out goes to my Heavenly Father for giving us a church that is Bible-based, Christ-centered, and Spirit-filled.

September - We end our first season of ECHS girl's soccer with a tie against Owensboro High School. Although we didn't have a winning record (3-4-1), I'm pleased with the team's effort and see the program headed in the right direction.

October - Rosalie and a classmate represent ECHS in UE's Changemaker. I'm glad Megan was such a big support in this innovative project.

November - Old friends we worked with in China, the Headricks, pay us a short visit. It's great to catch up and share how God has been working in our lives now that our families are in the States.

December - Megan and I throw a 50th-anniversary celebration for her parents. They are an incredible testimony to a life dedicated to being doers of the word, and not hearers only.


My Eight Most Popular Facebook Pictures in 2018

Below are the most popular pictures taken and posted on my Facebook account (most via Instagram) in 2018. Here are my most popular pics from Facebook in past years: 20152016, & 2017. God has truly blessed us!

Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Psalm 103:22

Our first ever ECHS soccer match resulted in a 3-1 victory. Rosalie did a great job as the starting right fullback.

Brace yourselves. This summer Rosalie earned her learner's permit.
We purchased Josiah Lee his first pair of shoes with shoelaces. His patience and perseverance often impress me.
Megan took this pic of Grace Noel & Josiah Lee running alongside Rosalie at a XC meet and cheering her on.
Somehow I ended up as Rafiki for the big reveal of this year's school musical: The Lion King. Many were amused. :-) 
We took a mini vacay to Nashville, Tennessee during spring break.
We celebrated Easter at FEPC in Megan's hometown. He is risen!
I turned the big 45 this year, and we celebrated at one of my favorite restaurants in Evansville, Bandana's BBQ.
