No Ordinary Thaw

(Click picture to zoom!)

The whole family recently received this Calvin and Hobbes cartoon from a friend to serve as a reminder that we are often not separated from the rest of history merely by time. The tendency throughout the ages — and we are no better than those of the past, unless we choose to be! — is to ignore the facts starring us right in the face, in lieu of “personal preferences” or comfort zones, convenience, or just “that’s the way it’s always been.” Aside from many Biblical examples, Copernicus, Galileo, Martin Luther, William Tyndale and many, many others can tell you, most people just don’t want to be “confused by the facts” (usually when something for them is at stake…) :-)

Even so, God’s always Faithful, even through cute little “cartoons” like Calvin and Hobbes, to make sure we keep fresh eyes towards Him and Truth! :-) God says “My Words will never change,” but certainly our insight and understanding of how to apply God’s Truth has taken some necessary turns over the centuries. Following a Risen and Alive Jesus is always Full of Surprises!!

Beth took this picture of her mommy and daddy recently and did some photo editing of it and sent to us ;o) Just made me thankful for God’s People and their input into our marriage (and lives)!!! We are still together and Happy in Love because of the Jesus in those who brought His Ways into our lives!!!

Well, here we are. On the internet. Our family. It was with a lot of consideration that we even did this. The internet is just full of everyone’s thoughts and opinions these days and we certainly hope NOT to add to all that (!), but simply allow others a realistic glimpse into our family and the Reality of how God has Changed our lives so very, very much and continues to do so! :-)

We hope to encourage you through these pages… :-) What you will (hopefully) find here is no pretense. “Just us chickens” and what God has done and is doing Daily.

Grace and Peace,
