The Little Man Turns Two!

Well this week Bryant will have his second birthday. It is no lie that time flies. It seems just like yesterday that we were bringing this little boy home. Now he is a big fellow and doing very well. What a blessing from God. (most of the time) Happy Birthday Bryant.

Happy Birthday America adapted by: Larry Wright Pastor of FBC Florence:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! You will be 232 years old on Friday! That’s a long time for a nation to remain free, but when you examine history, you’re just an infant among the nations. Nations like Egypt, China, Japan, Rome, or even Greece had much longer histories but they were not so free.HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! You have a rich spiritual history that continues to influence the world today.

Please Pray for Abbey

This blog post is a prayer request for my daughter, Abbey. She will be 6 this year and she is the sunshine of my life. I'm asking you to pray for her eyes. Since her premature birth she has had eye muscle problems. As a matter of fact she has already had 3 surgeries. We have been waiting for about 3 months and finally upon our last check up our Doctor informed us that she meets all the criteria for surgery. Here is my prayer request. I'm praying that God would heal my baby's eye. I'm not just asking for a slight fix. If God heals her it will be very obvious to us. If he chooses to heal her with a miracle that is awesome if not I will trust that he has put us in contact with the greatest doctor available. Please Pray.

...PS..Abbey has no idea that anything is wrong with her eyes or that surgery is on the horizon so please do not mention anything about this to her. (or you might just come down with an eye muscle problem;)

I believe in prayer and healing. I'm not a name it and claim it kind of guy, but I remember vividly as a young boy suffering with asthma and we were leaving the house headed to the ER because I could not breath well. We were not far down the road and my lungs opened up and I could breath. We returned home to find a dear grandmother calling out to heaven to heal me. HE DID.
Please Pray.....

Happy Father's Day

I am perhaps the happiest man alive. I have a awesome wife and two beautiful babies that love me, I have a good job, but more than all of that I am a Christian. The God of heaven loves me and has adopted me and I can call him Dad. My heavenly Father's love gives me direction and drive to be a good dad to Abbey and Bryant. The Psalmist described the kind of man I am striving to be. Psalm 112:1-8

"Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD. Who delights greatly in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established He will not be afraid."

I want to be a man like this.

Daddy's guard yourself and guard your families. Protect them with the Word of God and Prayer.

Happy Father's Day.
