Joy comes in the Morning

Resurrection Sunday is coming up later this month and with a little help from my family we have a newly released song called He Lives Forevermore (click on the title to go to the link). Jesus said "my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work" The "finished work" was multifaceted, as this little song for my grandchildren reflects. Share the joy of the Resurrection with a friend!

One man's trash

I had the pleasure of taking Alathea (Laylay)  for a mini burger today and after cleaning up she wanted to look into the bag of throw away things. I should have known she would find some left overs! Grandpas don't think about these things...

Feeling the Father's Heart

Celebration at the Homecoming
I spent a week in Jordan feeling the Father's heart for his children and trying to help clarify the truths that God continues to communicate through his word and his body. There was healing for me in the process as this is the how our good Lord works his ways. It was great to be back in the M.E. again.

On the Runway Again

We travel on Friday to England and then I go on to Jordan to teach a week on the Father Heart of God to 9 students. We are finishing up taxes and chores around the house, trying to get a glimpse of the beautiful Azalea Trail in Tyler, washing the car to get the bugs off and organizing for the trip. We are really fortunate to have purchased our tickets a few months ago because the prices have gone through the roof! The men at church prayed for us this morning and really blessed us going out. Thanks guys!
Are we excited about seeing Betsy and Wes and the girls? Does the wind howl? Yes especially this time of year. :-)

We made it back to the green isle of New Harmony where we were joined by Bryan and Michelle to celebrate St Patricks Day with corned beef and cabbage and all the trimmings. Thanks to my beautiful wife who put it all together along with the appropriate hats.

Back to the Hinterlands

After church on Sunday we struck out for a visit to the Hurts in Illinois. We made it to Southern Mo. by nightfall and spent the night in Hayti Missouri. The next morning we were surprised by snow just south of St. Louis! Snowplows were not in our mindset!

Notes on Spring



Along with the early Spring flowers here in Texas the Redbud trees and Plum and Pear trees are also flowering. This one in our yard is really coming out nicely. We have also planted some vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, onions, beets, and chard in our little garden plot up by the shed. Some birds are passing through but this turkey who is enjoying our bird seed is a neighbors pet.
