What a month!

Joel as Easter Lovey Bunny

Ahh, Easter!  I love Easter.  It's what I do, you know??!?  Really, I've loved Easter since I was a kid.  But wowser, it does a number to my calendar.

Easter Love

Add to that a birthday...a vacation...confirmation...youth Sunday...sickness...sickness x 3...a new dog...a tragic loss...baseball season...

3 Kids in 3 leagues = 5 days of baseball per week = crazy town!

...well, you get the picture (and just in case you don't...I've attached a few).

Confirmation 2013: Josh was in this class.  Perks of being a pastor--confirming your child.

I have been busy writing all the while, just not busy publishing.  So, hopefully soon I will start rolling out some of these thoughts that have spilled over to paper-screen as I have celebrated LIFE over the last month.  I hope you stay tuned.

Zoe is 7.  Pink and purple are still her favorite colors.  She is still my favorite princess.

We've grown by four feet: Meet Winston.  He's a Labradoodle.

 Fun times in Kentucky.  Josh and Jon were born there...and were ecstatic about posing outside of the hospital.  Will (the big kid in the picture) was a Kindergartner when we lived there.  His mini-me look-alike is Luke, his ten year younger brother.  Zoe and Luke hit it off big time.  Joel fit right in too!

Youth Sunday

The youth group at Trinity led worship the Second Sunday after Easter.  Their theme was discipleship.  Over the next several weeks, I am going to post some of their essays.  Amazing!

Last week our congregation said goodbye to a beautiful lady.  Julie's friends and family gathered to celebrate her life and encourage her precious family (mother, husband and 3 children).                        I love this picture of Julie.  It speaks of a promise, a secret that Julie knows.  There's more!
