Happy Day


Here I am again attempting another blog posting. Today I am full of joy. I just received a voice mail message from Davis (our youngest) which informed me that he and Jill have a healthy baby boy who is scheduled for arrival sometime in May. What a blessing to get this news and to share it with our family and friends. For many years I have had in mind what kind of grandpa I would like to be. It is the kind of grandpa who spends time with his grandchildren and invests his life into theirs. I long to have the energy to play games, read books, and talk gobbledygook with these precious folk. I want to have the joy of telling them about Jesus and living His love for them to see. I want to take them to Sunday School and Vacation Bible School and Summitt Lake Camp. I want to take them camping, fishing, walking and bowling. Along the way, I want to teach them how to love others and to love Jesus. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my dreams. Please keep Dave and Jill in your prayers as the time nears for the birth of their babyboy. Concerning having enough energy when the time comes, I have joined a local gym and today was my first work out! Hold me accountable for keeping it going. Until next time, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
