Happy birthday, Cody!!!

Today our oldest son, Cody, turned 20!  I really can't believe that was 20 years ago. 

He is currently serving our country in the Marine Corps and will be deployed again late summer/early fall.  Please keep him and all the service men and women in your prayers.

Happy birthday, son, we love you and are very proud of you! 

2010/2011 school year begins

After a good long break, it's back to the books for me.  I took the spring and summer off to relax and spend some good quality time with the family.  We didn't do anything out of the ordinary but just had fun together.  My goal is to keep the fun going even though we have a busier schedule.

The class that starts Monday is Examining Christian Heritage I, part II will be after this class is completed seven weeks from now.  I was pretty nervous about this class because it is filled with so much information and it's fast paced but I have to say God has helped calm my nerves.  I feel much better about the deadlines and know all will be well.  God is faithful!

God bless...

Serve where?

"God wants to use you and speak through you. He will lead you in the way and open the doors for you. You are to serve where you are. Some really good people are waiting, expecting in some way that they will be called out in service for the Master. Instead of that we are to serve where we are; to find the souls that are about us, to get hold of them with the gospel which possesses us, and bring them to Christ."

Which is most important?

Many times we pray that we would hear the voice of God and know what it is He wants us to do.

It is good to know what He wants of us but knowing doesn't get it done.

Not only do we need to know what God wants of us we have to be obedient and follow through with His plans.

If you have been praying for direction why not take that prayer just a step further and ask that when God gives you direction that He also help you to be obedient.

Which is most important knowing or knowing AND doing?

God bless...
