Memorial Day 2006

Since my grandfather served in WWII, he was a patriot and he and grandmother always commemorated “Decoration Day.” Grandpa had been injured in the line of duty he had seen others die. Everyone had sacrificed for […]

On the Lord’s Day we drove to Guadalajara and participated in a service there at Jorge’s church. His father is the pastor. It was a beautiful service. We sang and Mr. Gothard preached on meditation. After the service we went to the Soreno’s beautiful home for an afternoon of feasting and Christian fellowship. At the […]

Broken Ministers
My oldest son, Kyle and his wife Elizabeth are in love with Jesus and committed to the ministry of the gospel. This summer they are headed to Camp Barakel to serve.
