Two BIGGIES in one week . . .

This week has been awesome!! Will our first grandson became one year old this week and Connie and I celebrated 30 years marriage.

First, and foremost let me say that my wife is the "BOMB DIGGITY" (it just means that she is the best ever). Our lives together are fun, adventurous, exciting, and full of big dreams. With us their has never been a dull moment as we are both first born children, so you can imagine the excitement that this produces. We have led exciting lives: Ministry at Mardi Gra, ministry on the streets of Hollywood, Pastoring teenagers for 30 yrs, pioneering and pastoring two churches, ministry in 8 different nations, public schools in America and abroad, pastoring and speaking at to many camps to number, and much more that space does not allow to be told. This does not include the fun of having and raising three of the best kids in whole world (Jeff - 29, Denae - 26, & Lance - 23).

One editorial comment about marriage: There is NOTHING more rewarding and yet there is NOTHING that is harder work than MARRIAGE.

Secondly, we had Will's first birthday over at his house in his back yard. It was so much fun to see his proud parents throw a shindig that could only be described as controlled chaos. His dad had more fun opening the presents than Will did. The sombrero cake and pinata were big hits at the party. I know that there will be many more occasions to come, so stay tuned for the report.

On a personal note: Pray for Connie and I as a new school year approaches. We will be heading back into the mission field of America's public schools.

Stirred up to the core!!
