G od loves us so much! God brought us to Front Royal, Virginia, and directed us to a church that is unique among churches in a way that cannot be expressed. But we are so grateful to God to have brought us together with such wonderful and dedicated Christian people—people who love God with all their hearts and love each other.

T T im Challies, one of my favorite bloggers, posted an interesting article about breastfeeding in public . I have not had to deal directly with this issue, but found the discussion quite interesting. I was not breast-fed and we adopted our son, so my wife did not breastfeed him either.

I know my messages should be about Christmas right now, but this video made me hope for everyone’s New Year’s Resolutions.

T his past Sunday evening, December 11, a very bright light that had shone for only 66 years expired. It was her birthday, but it was also the last day she was to be with us. It was as if a star had winked out. At least, that’s how my wife put it. I was simply at a loss for words. Obituary from The News & Messenger My memories of Mrs. Barb include the fact that she was the only person I ever knew who actually looked stylish in an AWANA uniform.
