Our Little Princess is 7!

Published on April 3, 2007

It’s hard to believe that Lela is already 7 years old. She’s such a joy and she’s all girl. She loves cooking with me in the kitchen, baking, helping with dinner, cutting up the tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad, setting the table, going to the grocery store and anything else that I’m […]


Caleb’s Talkin’

Published on

Just had a share a cute thing that C.J.’s doing now.  When we try to get him to count he’ll repeat after us “one, two, three” but when we get to four he refuses to say it..he says “three” instead.  So, when he prays  at night we have him repeat after us, “Jesus” (”Jesus”) “thank” […]


Compassion,Kindness,Humility,Meekness and Patience!

Published on February 12, 2007

The Lord is so kind! He’s been actively working in my heart from so many directions. The main point I want to blog about is this. From Dave Harvey’s series “The Surgeon, The Scalpel and the Saint in Sin” which focuses in on self-righteousness he says that I should be “ruthless when […]

This is from my Senior Pastor’s blog.  I just had to share what our children are learning in Children’s Ministry…and, yes, I too thought it strange that they were studying about Elijah the Sunday before Christmas!

I just learned that this past Sunday the lesson plan for the children’s ministry had them […]


“Dot”

Published on December 8, 2006

When we were in the hospital Jeremy was trying to figure out what Brianna’s nickname was going to be. Lela’s nickname is “Puddin’” and he had decided that he would nickname Brianna “Itty Bitty”. But, on the way to Texas he shared with me that he would like Brianna’s nickname to be “Dot” […]


We’re Home!

Published on November 24, 2006

Well, we are finally home and getting settled in. We left the hospital about 12:30 on Thanksgiving Day and we have so much to be thankful for! First of all, our greatest need has already been met by the Father sending His Son, Jesus, to take the wrath that we deserve for our […]
