It's been a while...

I haven't posted in quite some time. So much has been happening. The kids are growing and changing so quickly. Kyle had his first accident. He wrecked on his skateboard with no pads or helmet and chipped and cracked his elbow. He saw an orthopedic doctor today. Zachary has tried to go without his Concerta and already he's had detention everyday. He will start back on it this week. Hannah is doing about the same. She's a mess. She's got an upcoming surg. soon. David is working, helping at the church and going to school. As for me, well, I'm working at Mikasa part time still. I enjoy it for the most part.

The hurricanes lately have really motivated my thoughts. I think about all the people who have lost so much. How thankful I am for the things that I have. I also know from experience that when you're down the most is when you seem to see God's love unlike any other time. What a shame it is that it takes such tragedy for us to really see how much He cares for us. Why does it take such times as these for people to do what we've all been called of Christ to do? Love one another.

In the last week I have been privileged to meet and talk with many evacuees. Both of Katrina and Rita. It was so encouraging to hear the stories of what strangers have done for one another in these terribly trying times. Almost all have relayed their stories with teary eyes and a thankful heart. It's refreshing to see people helping each other. I can just imagine God smiling down and saying, "there you go. That's it children. that's the way." Oh what a proud pappa he must be.

I think that despite all the negative things being tossed our way about our leaders, we as a country still have a heart like no other. God still blesses the USA.

Living and Learning,
