Starting off the week


Psalm 107:31 - "Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"


The picture you're seeing is of Julianne's second day at pre-school. It was Cowboy Day and she was a rarin' to go. Jill tries her best to keep a straight face but can't do it. Julie is the Human Cartoon. Every day she comes into my office and sits at her little desk and "works" for about an hour. She'll empty my trash can and sort some papers but mostly she'll draw pictures for me. My office is like a regular art studio now.


Hey, it's been a great time lately.


Jill's up and around and making this home look great - the renovation projects and other chores we've been tackling are starting to show. She has really decorated the home and made it look awesome. Jill has a definite gift.


Peter is getting more and more into the football season, and he's adjusting well in the Grace Christian Academy life.


Julianne is Julianne.


Nicholas is graduating in San Antonio this week. Alexis will fly down to TX to see him.


My writing jobs have picked up lately. Google, 24OnDemand, Premier Basketball League, even a possible movie script...I'm fighting to keep everything in order. Plus the Collegian program I wrote is going great at the churches and schools around the country.


Last night was great. We had five University of Tennessee students join our Sunday evening Bible study, and the whole place was energized. Bobby McCoy came over and spoke about his life and God's greatness, even after the accident that left him in a wheelchair. He was - and is - an inspiration to us all. He gave a message that fits our family to the Nth degree: in spite of all the world's trouble, God is still very, very good.


I agree wholeheartedly. God is good - all the time.
