Nothin says fun like Busch Gardens! Had a blast with the family. This is in the famed Pirate show where you get very wet. 

We're in!

Well, we've made it to Lutz [pron. loots]. It's been a week. We have a great 4 bedroom rental house we're in with a pool awaiting the bank's reply on the offer of a short sale we have on a beautiful home. We've been asking God to open the doors. Keep praying! 

The DiStefano's are moving!

Well, it's official. After 20 years of ministry at Flamingo Road Church The DiStefano's are moving to Grace Family Church in Tampa. I didn't think we would ever move but God had other plans. We will HUGELY miss our family at FRC! The smiles, hugs, friendships. We are beyond truly blessed for being part of a ministry that has and will continue to change the world! Thanks for all the awesome times and memories. You'll always be in our hearts. We love you guys. We're so excited about going to GFC and seeing what blessings & assignments God has for us. We're looking fwd to giving Him our best there. Please come see us in Tampa!

A memorable Easter!

Some Pics say it all!

Lauren's 20?!

Lauren turned 20! What! 20! I know what you're saying right now, Allen, Sharon you CAN'T be THAT old and it's true. To set the record straight, we had Lauren when Sharon was 13 and i was 12! Hmmmm? Anywho, we had a sweet time at Brio and her favorite gift was a juicy charm.I

I love my oldest girl. She's loyal, bright, beautiful and wonderful, strong young Christian woman. Happy B day Lorna!

Sahweeet!

Here's another sweet pic from our new set. Notice the wailing wall on the side under the screens. It's available for people to write down the names of people they're praying for and put them in the wall.

Jenna's Bday

Jenna had her 16th B day! It was Jenna palooza as Pastor Brian would call it all week long. She scored herself a Canon Rebel and lots of other sweet Bday gifts. I love my baby girl. She's funny, she sings like a bird and she loves Jesus and tells her others about Him. Rock strong Darlin!

and...we're back!

Wow! What a looong break from blogging. While we've been gone this is some of what my honey, Sharon Lee, has been up to(see pic!) She, Peter and Yoel delivered an awesome stage for our new series. Pretty sweet, huh? 2 weeks ago over 600 people walked onto that stage and gave their life to Christ. You never know how your life is going to intersect with eternity. Glad we're back.

Superstar!

As some of you may know our Brittany Marie is heavily involved in music and drama and last week she got the opportunity to combine these two arts for an awesome memory. She received straight superiors in everything she did! Solo, large ensemble, small ensemble, large group, small group, small solo, large...(u get the idea!). She even won the Critique's choice award for her solo so that means that out of all Broward county schools...she's the best. Now I'm not a bragging Dad or anything, but the girl can throw down! It's also been cool to see Brit leverage her influence in this area, and being the Drama(AMT) president, for God. Congratulations my bugness. Continue to thank Him and use the gifts for His glory. Leave her a comment to encourage or congratulate Brit.

Tonsillectomy...Ouch!

Our Little Lorna had a tonsillectomy last Thursday. it was pretty traumatic at age 19, but she's been a trooper! Usually when you have one of these you get to look fwd to eating ICE CREAM...but our Lauren is lactose intolerant! She is happy, though, when somebody comes around! Get well soon my baby girl.
