Sailing

I took the boys sailing yesterday and had a great time. It was the first time that we had done this and we had a great time. Jamie got the use of a 22 footer and about ten of us went out for about four hours. Not of a lot of wind out there […]

Another one on faith

Faith

When you walk to the edge of all the light you have
and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown,
you must believe that one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid for you to stand upon,

Angels in the classroom.

Something amazing happened this week, well, to me it was amazing!

John:
If I hadn’t […]

Quote on Faith

If you have it [faith], you won’t quit…you won’t doubt…you won’t fear…you won’t quail…you won’t retreat…you won’t surrender! Great faith still chooses God in spite of the other possibilities. Real faith endures the storm, real faith stands his ground when all else fails. Real faith never quits! Real faith will pay any price, suffer any […]

Vacation in Mexico

We are having a great time here in Mexico. I feel like writing all that good stuff about MX that Darren and Claire wrote about on their blog about a week ago. We really had a good time as a family here and were able to spend alot of quality time together praying and reading. […]
