Events, vacations, birthdays, testimonies, celebrations; anything you can think of that a family has done together.
What an encouraging day we had last weekend as we enjoyed the fellowship of Christian families and sat under the inspirational teaching of Chris Hogan, Gary Fraley, Bob Newhouse, Gabe Cleator and David Waller. Here are some of the points that the Lord spoke to me through the messages: Have we recognized when God has […]

It was not easy to get a hold of this book! But once it finally arrived from India I was spiritually encouraged through it’s words. Let me share a few of the sections that were most meaningful and amazing to me. “Usually when I am introduced, it is said this is our dear brother who […]
The Proverbs of Donald, the son of Donald, the son of Donald … “You can change! but you cannot change yourself”
I have thoroughly enjoyed spending the past few weeks with my family. So many opportunities to join them in their exciting endeavors! Planting the garden with David was a highlight.

I would encourage anyone visiting Mount Rushmore to consider taking […]
