Happy Birthday Kaylyn!!!

10 years ago today, the Lord blessed us with our firstborn daughter,
Kaylyn.

Kaylyn is a sweet girl who loves imitating animals (and is quite good at it),crafts, the Georgia Bulldogs, dressing up and playing old fashioned.Her favorite food is tuna casserole and favorite colors are pink, blue, and red(for the Bulldogs). She is our quiet one but can give quite a squeal when tickled!!!

Kaylyn is a sweet girl, who amazes me in how long-suffering she is, she is sensitive to the ways of God. Encouraging others (including me) to do the right thing if she sees it is dishonoring God. A girl of modesty and already is thinking of ways she wants to honor her husband when she gets married.


Our prayer for Kaylyn is that she would submit her life to the Lord Jesus Christ, be pure in her ways and thoughts, and continue to grow and train in becoming a homemaker.

We love you, Kaylyn...Pumpkin, you are a true joy and blessing in our lives!!!

"And Can It Be"

Written by Charles Wesley

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;
Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite His grace—
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O my God, it found out me!
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O my God, it found out me!

Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

Still the small inward voice I hear,
That whispers all my sins forgiven;
Still the atoning blood is near,
That quenched the wrath of hostile Heaven.
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel the Savior in my heart.
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel the Savior in my heart.

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

My First First Haircut-by Zechariah

"I couldn't go to a hair salon,'These are for girls', my big brother,E, insisted. We had to go to his and daddy's barber...Here I am unsure of what is about to happen...

First comes that scary, loud razor...

Good, he walked away, he must be all done......NO!!! Not again!!!...
I don't like this!...Don't touch me!!! I'm telling my mommy!...

Oh NO!!!Not the razor again!...
When is this going to end?!!!...
Where did all my hair go?...

I guess it wasn't TO bad...I kind-of like my new cut!"

Sunday Hymn

"How Deep The Father's Love For Us"
By: Stuart Townend

How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
(REPEAT)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

8 years ago today the Lord blessed us with our oldest son, Caleb "E".

Caleb is quite a character who loves joking around, wrestling, reading, using his tools, making faces and school. His favorite color has always been yellow and he loves ice-cream.
E is passionate for making sure everyone has a Bible, passing them out to neighbors, friends, or asking if we can send orphans Bibles. He also has a heart to put out tracts about the Gospel.
Our prayer is that the Lord would one day save his soul and use these passions for his glory.

We love you, Yellow Man "E", you are a true blessing in our lives.

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY!!!
