		<description><![CDATA[I was just sitting here reading my Bible reading for the day and this thought kept swimming around in my head&#8230; &#8220;Oh the value of people!&#8221; People are valuable! God made people! Man was and is the creme de la creme of His creation. That got me to thinking how special some of the people God has placed in my life are: My wife, my daughter and soon-to-be-son   , my Mom and Dad, my sister, and my extended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As for Me
In the 1700s, a young man named James Taylor proposed marriage to his girlfriend, and a wedding date was set. Neither of them were Christians. James, in fact, so detested itinerant preachers that he often pelted them with rotten tomatoes or eggs.
Shortly before his wedding, one of John Wesley’s circuit riders entered town, and James, hearing of it, wanted to disrupt the meeting. But as James listened in the fringes of the crowd, the preacher quoted Joshua 24:15: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even on the Golf Course
Those needing strength often turn to Joshua 1:1–11, a potent passage given to Joshua as he assumed the leadership of Israel : Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people. …  As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. …  Be strong and of good courage. …
Tom Lehman, PGA Tour Player of the Year in 1996, has often spoken of this verse. He came [...]]]></description>

What an amazing story! Thank God for His wisdom to put the right man in office at just the right time!
To Their Descendants
January 22
For a hundred years before the establishment of the modern state of Israel, Christians worked alongside Jews in advancing Zionism, but nothing created more sympathy for the rebirth of the Jewish nation than reports emerging after World War II of the Holocaust. Still, President Harry Truman, aware of impending Arab-Israeli conflict, was reluctant to recognize the new [...]]]></description>

God’s Payroll
Samuel Logan Brengle and Billy Sunday had much in common. Both were raised by godly mothers on Midwestern farms after their fathers had perished in the Civil War. Both became famous preachers who gave the credit to their Lord and to their mothers. And both were very familiar with skid row. Brengle preached there. Sunday lived there awhile.
Billy Sunday initially gained fame as an outfielder for the Chicago White Sox, but his career was marred by drinking. One night, [...]]]></description>

You can find it at Lifeway Christian Stores or probably Netflix it. Having had neurosurgery myself as a baby, I personally have a great respect for and thank God for men like Ben Carson, and my pediatric neurosurgeon, Mark S O&#8217;Brien, whom God uses on a daily basis to touch and repair and give a dose of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We went on our annual &#8220;light-seeing&#8221; trip as a family yesterday.   What a blast that was. Even the dog went with us. We saw some very pretty Christmas lights in our area here. Below is the most memorable one we saw. It was so amazing, I had to take a picture.

There were a gazillion lights on that tree! It must&#8217;ve taken a very long time to do that, and it had to have taken a crane(or a monkey!). [...]]]></description>

The first eight with just us and extended family. The last seven have been with each other, extended family,  and our sweet Becca. I want to declare to you how utterly wonderful it is as a parent to just sit back and watch your child tear into Christmas [...]]]></description>

She did great! She sang every word and sang it with all her heart! #lovebeingadad

We are so very close to the day we receive the call from AWAA to go to Ethiopia and meet Joshua, our new little boy! We don&#8217;t yet know what he looks like or how old he is, but we are soooo ready to welcome him home! The other day, our social worker Beth Primm visited our home to update all of our homestudy paperwork. She is such a [...]]]></description>
