Welcome to our family.
There are several interesting stories
that have brought our family to the point we
are at today. We hope that you will be
able to enjoy some of these stories as well
as some of the pictures. Please feel
free to look around and send us any comments
that you may have. We always enjoy
hearing about other people and their family
stories as well. Hopefully you will be able to
see how much we care about each other and
enjoy being a family, even though I highly
doubt it from only a few pictures and words.
Our family is ever changing and we try our
best to adapt and grow together. The
main idea is that we are growing together
even if only a little bit at a time; for if
you are not growing forward then you are
falling backwards. Be blessed as you
learn about our family and we hope to hear
from you soon about yours.
The
importance of family...
To us family is quite
important. We consider our family to
be as important as our job. We have
been called by our Boss to serve His will. Part
of His will is taking care of and raising
our family.
We
desire to see our family growing in their
knowledge of and love for Him. We see
our family not as a baggage in our ministry,
but rather as a tool. In an age that finds
all too many families falling apart, we
believe that our family can be a testimony
of His love, wisdom, and grace. In
some regards the two jobs cannot be divided.
In another regard family comes before our
work. If we were to lose our family to
our work, then I fear that we have actually
not worked as we should have. We are
to raise our boys to grow up to men of
character and leadership. We are to
love one another like our Father loves his
family and in so doing, demonstrate to those
we minister what it means to be a
man/woman, father/mother, brother/son...
Words of
Wisdom...
What I have
learned recently about family...
A gentle answer turns
away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger...
I am not always the most patient and gentle
man. I have learned that when I am
quick and rash with my boys, they can easily
reproduce that anger. I must watch this and
answer and act in kindness and gentleness as
to not teach my boys too quickly about anger
especially unrighteous anger.
