happy birthday, Harper!

Gonna be personal today. Sunday is the day. A good day. It is a day that I am my family celebrate. So excited and grateful and blessed. So blessed.

It is the most beautiful and precious little girl’s birthday. Our grand daughter, Harper, will be one year old. How this last year has flown by! She has grown and filled our lives with so much goodness.

She has also filled our phones with pictures. Oh the text messages that come in so many days of the week that have pictures of Harper doing the cutest things, beautiful in so many outfits, and smiling the most awesome smiles. Even videos of her playing peek-a-boo, crawling up the stairs, eating new things and so much more.

This child has changed our lives in so many ways. We are blessed and grateful. Our daughter Ruth has become an incredible mother. We are so, so proud of her. Sean our extra son has shown to be a great dad. This family makes me so happy, as does all our family!

So, happy first birthday to Harper. This child is so incredible. As I have said while I preach she is the prettiest, most perfect and beautiful child in all the world. I am a little partial. I am so proud!

Happy birthday, Harper!

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.

Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
