Jesus amoung us

Today in a bible study I watched the movie of The Gospel of John. I was so overtaken by Chapter 1 verse 10 ""He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him." How many times do I go through my day not recognizing him at all? How many times do I miss the opportunity to walk through life with Christ? It is so easy to look at the gospel and wonder why they missed the chance to be with Christ. I don't want to be guilty of missing any opportunity to walk with Christ. This is going to be an excellent study. I can't wait for the rest of it.

the babies married off their baby


Yep it is true. I am the baby of eight children and Stan is the baby of five. On Friday we married off our baby girl Amanda. 

We are both amazed at the gamut of emotions we have experienced in the process. Going through the final process that we have prepared for over the past few months never prepares you for the emotions you  go through as you entrust your daughter to someone else to provide for her.

We are extremely grateful for Gary Lee. He is an amazing young man and we know that he is going to be a faithful husband for Amanda. I use the word faithful to describe Gary because we have full confidence that he will be not only her provider but her best friend.

Overwhelmed by the love we have shared from many family members and friends. Thank you is just not adequate enough but will have to do for now.

Once again God has proven Himself to us as the ultimate provider for us all. Not that he needed to prove Himself but he is the perfect example of the word faithful and for that we are extremely grateful!
