A great read
















I just finished reading this amazing book by Richard Stearns, President of World Vision. I highly recommend it!

In the introduction Stearns says "...being a Christian , or follower of Jesus Christ, requires much more than just having a personal transforming relationship with God. It also entails a public and transforming relationship with the world".

I think it was Keith Green who said that "this generation of believers is responsible for this generation of souls". Did you know that over 26,500 children die every day of preventable causes related to their poverty? Did you know that if your income is more than $25,000 a year, you are wealthier than approximately 90 percent of the world's population? What does God expect of us? What is the "whole gospel"?

Please take the time to get this book from your library and read it!

It looked so good

Today it was warm. 82 degrees to be exact. In April, that's really nice. I'm loving this warm spring. Makes me wonder how I ever survived the winter!

Anyway, the boys were outside playing, sweating, and saying how hot it was, when they gazed across the backyard to the glistneing wet blue waters of the pool. Yes, we opened our pool yesterday. A little earlier than usual, but as I said, it's been so nice. Well, it looked like an easy solution to the problem. Hot bodies, cool water.

So, in goes Quinn.















And then Carson.














And out they both came.














The air might have been 82 but the water....















These two were smart, stuck it out, and ate a popsicle instead of turning into one!

Worthy is the Lamb




Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

And he'd do it all again, FOR YOU!
