Hot Summer and School

Well it's hot here and school is about to start. I wonder how, where and what God is going to do this school year? Well are family has a theme verse for the year:

1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (ESV)
May it be our life's end each and every day, until he comes...

When you're in love with a beautiful woman...

What a beautiful woman enough said! Thanks for your love and companionship over these last 15 years my love! You are simply the best.

She went as a girl and come home a young woman...

It is very interesting to watch how God unfolds his plans and glory in our children. Alex went to Ecuador as a girl and she came home a young woman. Her attitude was changed, belief in Christ was strengthen, and her overall outlook on people, especially the children of Ecuador , has grown. Now She tries to see people as they are through the eyes of Christ. So much so she said, "I cannot wait to go back!" What a privilege it is to see God at work in your kids.

When we were boys...

The "Boys of Summer" after capturing Bill the sand crab. They were proud of their spoils from the great beach safari. Often in life we forget the fun and the adventure we had as kids. And how God created the simple things in life to be enjoyed and thus find contentment. When we are so stressed and life seems so tough remember to be boys (or girls) again and enjoy the adventure in what God has made .

Missing You

Tricia,
I am missing you "some'n" fierce! I miss sharing my thoughts and day with my best friend! Where have you gone "little" friend? I hope and trust that you and Alex are having a wonderful time in Ecuador sharing Christ with them. I can't wait to see you! Love Alan

Where has my wife gone?

What do you do when your better half is away from you? You pray and trust in Christ so when the next time you meet, you drink it all in! Enjoy not just the way she looks but soak-up all there is to know about her and let here know that she is your girl. The one God gave to you as a gift to share this life with-together! Missing you from north of the boarder! Love BD

More family in foreign countries than in the USA

Well,
Tricia and Alex arrived safe in Ecuador! Praise the Lord!
God has big plans for all who have arrived there from Ninth and O Baptist. I thank God for their protection. With my sister in Honduras and all 7 of her kids, more of my immediate family is south of the boarder than in the USA!
Also remember your Fathers tomorrow! Thank them for all of their hard work in raising you!
