Truer words could not be spoken...
They have been said millions of times, but tonight in front of a global network audience they were spoken by Greg Jennings of the 2011 NFL Champion, Green Bay Packers.

Congrats to two class, character teams, the Pittsburg Steelers and the Packers are high integrity franchises with great history and significant success.

Greg's words were repeated..."to God be the glory". Thank you Mr. Jennings.

Thank you Jesus!

This morning at 4:02, a little baby was born. A beautiful baby boy. Thank you Father God, for new life, for the incredible blessing of life. And Jesus said, "that we must be born again."
Thank you Father God, for new life, salvation. Holy Spirit lead us into all truth, righteousness and joy. Christ is King over all creation.

To live in the moment, to live in eternity, now. Our LORD is in control, His Son Jesus has paid the price and now His grace is sufficient and His faithfulness and mercy are new every morning.
Thank you Father for the covenant of marriage. Thank you for my wife, Patty and our family and friends. Thank you for the challenges that are teaching us and leading us into all truth.
Praise You in all circumstances and in every minute that we are alive. I love You LORD. amen

Father God, i love You and i thank You. This is all Your doing.
You are love and grace and wisdom and peace and joy and all
our righteousness. Thank You for loving us and bringing our
daughter home. Heal us now we pray in the name of Your Son,
our Savior, the Messiah...Jesus.

If i post every six months or so...twice a year, is that good enough?
There are so many things to talk about, to explore and to listen to or read.
When i watch our grandson seek, explore, reach and in his wonderful childish innocence, ask...i know that our Great LORD expects the same from us.
What is holiness, as He is holy? What does it mean to meet for small, cell, study, growth groups or come together on Sunday? Can Jesus' healing ministry happen today?
If you know the answers...let's talk about it. If you want to know, and if your heart is broken with joy and sorrow at the same time...we need to look into His Word and ask the questions as we worship in spirit and in truth.

One half of a year later...the year of jubilee for this fella has begun. Our daughter Peggy and son Kayden have moved into a home in Mattawan. Alex, Austin, Zoey are doing well and we visited their campsite yesterday at Lake Michigan. Ed is doing well and we sure do enjoy them all. Josh and Erika and the boys, Caleb and Gavin are getting set to vacation in Hilton Head for the Fourth. Josh, Erika, Patty and i had an amazing time in the Caribbean to celebrate Erika's LPN success on her way to an RN. Elizabeth had her Open House to celebrate her graduation from Gull Lake HS. She is such a good girl and is enjoying her work at a nearby horse farm. Angel is driving on her permit, working on competitive cheer off-season stunt camps and conditioning and anxiously awaitng youth camp at Winding Creek.
Jamie is having fun being 11 and playing with friends in the neighborhood. We are missing Scott, Anna and the kids as they have moved to Texas. We will lift them up in prayer, and we thank the LORD for getting to know them these past four years.
Dad was here for a few days around Liz's party...it was great to visit with he and Uncle Red. They even made it out to our softball game in Portage. Mom and Norman stayed at the house with Liz and Jamie while we went on our cruise and Angel stayed with Aunt Susie out at Gull Lake. Ashley and Sheena were here in the Spring as they attended KVCC and the great grandbabies, Derek and Tessah have been the heart of our family. Ashley and Derek are still here alot and honestly...G ma Patty and i can't get enough of the little Junior Man, L'il Chris or Derek. He is the joy of our lives and i thank God for letting me be his g2 pa.
The blessings and struggles are many...we praise the Lord Jesus Christ and love Him more, each and every day.
