Jesus

Last week one day while we were out and about Pearl saw a manger scene in a yard. It was one of the ones where each figure is a different piece. She says to me "Mom we don't have a Jesus." I said to her yes you are right we don't have one like that. For the past two years while living in Bridgewater they had one and she would ask to go talk to Jesus and would walk into the stable and talk to Baby Jesus. The first time she did this I cried like a baby.

On Monday morning we were visiting my parents and Pearl said to her Dad as they walked out the door Daddy we need that. I knew @ once that it was my parents baby Jesus. A few minutes latter she was pleading with my Mom to let her have Baby Jesus. She said don't worry Mamaw I'll bring it back after Christmas cause she doesn't have one and she needs Baby Jesus.
My prayer is that we will hunger for Jesus as much in 2009 as Pearl does in 08, and that she will never lose the passion she has for Jesus as she grows.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, to one and all. We started this morning by reading from the Bible about the birth of Jesus. Than it was down stairs to see what Santa had brought. Pearl after opening a few gifts said she was done and to give the rest of her presents to other boy and girls. Now that is a lesson for all of us. Than it was breakfast with my parents when they arrived. Pearl had a great time visiting with them. She even got her mamaw to go outside and play chase with her. We exchanged gifts with my parents and than ate lunch together. After that we just hung out for a while until it was time to say good-bye. We spent rest of the evening enjoying family time playing with our new WII. Pearl loves the controler. We ended the evening with a birthday cake for Jesus, candles and all. Happy Birthday Jesus!!!!

Hello, well the time has come, the end is near, I have finished my last semester of seminary at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore Kentucky and I am waiting for all my grades to come in. I am glad it is done and I really appreciated all I learned and all that God used to teach me, mold me, and make me grow. I am especially thankful for family and even more thankful for Brenda and her support, help, and love as we finish seminary. I told her even though the diploma has my name on it... it was a joint effort.



I just kept thinking, "Where is my family and I hope I don't trip!"



Well, graduation is over and now it is another experience behind me :-)




And of course Pearl still watches my every move...

Thank you Brenda, thank you Pearl, thank you all who helped me in all the many ways graduate from seminary.
