Happy Birthday to our Patrick!!! wow 14 years ...... can't believe our youngest is that old. I am tempted to call him our baby, then I remember how much I hated that. :) We thank God for all the joy he brings to our home. We pray he will never lose his passion for God!! My heart is blessed each morning, he gets up early to spend time w/ God. And may he always keep his vision to make a difference for Jesus. We all love you Patrick!!

Something very interesting go through the new testament and read all the verses that talk about "one another"
Bear one anothers burdens.... speak the truth.... receive one another as Christ received us..... wash one anothers feet... these are just a few.
One of things God is asking us to do is open our eyes to people around us. We are not God's only child! We belong to a large and growing family, which spreads across the whole world. Sometimes it takes a little persuasion to take off our blinders and come out of our prayer closets to see the needs of those around us. Jesus is in heaven now, so He cannot walk among us to touch those who are hurting or in need of encouragement. Instead He asks us to be His hands and His feet. We are His means of reaching out. God works through us to lift the spirits of those around us.
this was from devotional book.

Life has been good. We have really enjoyed havin my Janette back!!!!!!! School is back in full swing. We only have 2 in school this year, which is very different for us. change.... change.....
We are praying about what God would have us do about a house, our house needs a major makeover, or do we move???? we have out grown this place, 1 bath for 7 adults, but we also have many good times in this little place.
We are still enjoying little bubba, and he keeps me busy !

Blessings to you all....
