A son and his father
Amazing Race...68...business ventures...none of that matters when compared to the work I see happening in my dad's heart. (Pop, I'm so proud of you.) 30 years apart via the divide of divorce, yet God is bringing us closer, writing a new chapter in our lives and in my brother's. (I'm praying for you, bro. No fair on the Infiniti.) Maybe if I let my hair grow like Samson's, God will show himself strong and bring about a total healing in our family. Wouldn't that be amazing? Of course if I do, I really will start looking like a vampire.My dad's really grown over the past several years, and it all began at a Billy Graham crusade in the heart of Indianapolis. I am so honored that I was there to see it. Now he's praying for me. Oh, how I love God.
On the other hand, it's been a rough couple of weeks for me. I've been fooling myself into believing that I'm fine this time of year. All it took was a simple question from my mom about logistics over Christmas Eve to make me realize that the pain is still there................
Then I read Psalm 23. And as always, God brought me back to life. I could actually see myself walking in the grass beside a meandering brook with the peace that only God can bring. Jeseca was right; "God's word is life. It's physical life, and we can't get away from it. I can't live without it."

God is so awesome. He continues to bring beauty from ashes, not matter how difficult the circumstances, and what a blessing to witness His mercy and love in the lives of our family.
I love you.

Jon:
I thank God for the healing in your family and in your heart. I'm so glad your dad is with you now. God is so amazing. Enjoy these times; they are so precious.
I also keep you & the boys in my prayers. I can't imagine the depth of pain you're feeling. But, I know God does and my prayer is that He'll soothe your heart in His own special way.
I guess I'm not the only one that thinks you favor Mick on "Moonlight". He's quite an actor.
I do hope you get a chance to be on the Amazing Race. I'll be cheering you guys on. Keep us posted.
May God's love surround and protect you while the sweet memories of Jes warms your heart.
God bless,
Joan
