Hannah Ruth Graduates.

Hannah will have an “open house” on Friday night at Evangel Baptist in Taylor, Michigan to recognize the completion of her high school at the Stonebridge Academy. There are four Stonebridge Academy graduates so far and they are all doing well and making good in the world. We expect the same of Hannah. She is a sweet, social girl with a kind heart and a sincere love for Jesus. Did I mention that she is beautiful, too? We are grateful for her. She has never caused a moment of worry for her mother or I. She is a delightful daughter. After her month-long Kentucky tour she hopes to spend a couple weeks serving at Camp Barakel this summer. Right now she is literally counting the days until they leave for the Bluegrass. A week from today she will be on the porch enjoying an Ale-Eight with her mom and sisters. Congratulations, Hannah!

In about 1982 we met Bernice Grinnell. She was a member of our church. Her husband died. Shortly after that, she had a hip replacement surgery and had to stay in a rest home for a while. We visited her. I took Kyle along with me when I visited her. He was just a little tiny boy about two at the time. [Read more…] about Bernice Grinnell

Sunday night Kyle Kenneth watched his first Lake Michigan sunset. He doesn’t know this but it is deep in his genetic makeup to love an evening like this. Kyle (Dad, Kyle) said the day was sweet as a bag of Starbursts. That boy has a way with words, doesn’t he?

Today we drove to Angola and spent most of the day at a State Park just talking. We had a pizza picnic, drank some sodas and took more pictures of wee Kyle. The boys flew a kite. Holly and Heidi worked. Chuk should have finished moving into his new apartment in Sister Bay by now. It’s back to work tomorrow. I hope your Memorial Day was sweet as a bag of Starbursts.
