God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

I entered Carol in the Mother's Day Giveaway through STAR 88.3  and she was chosen to receive a gift basket.  Melissa Montana brought it over.  Carol was so surprised.

Alyssa Bornheimer cared for Lilly on the days I taught.  She did great things with her and made many trips to the library.  Josie and Lilly planted flowers on their last trip to the library.

Thrivent Conference, Hollywood FL


Dave qualified for the Sierra Thrivent Conference.  The Conference was located at the Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, FL.  While Dave went to meetings, the kids enjoyed the pools and splash pad.  On Wednesday, we took a trip to Miami Seaquarium and swam with dolphins.
