Dear Lord,
I'm here to love You, to obey you, to glorify You. O my Beloved may I be a joy to You!
Today is my sweet little Abby's 2nd birthday - how privileged we are to be entrusted with the life of another - at times I am overwhelmed with the joy that my children bring me, but other times I am overwhelmed with how much heartache we can cause each other as human beings. In Zimbabwe I was in awe when we got to see giraffes - I had never before seen a real live one that close, they are so beautiful and statuesque, I almost expected Noah to be standing around the corner next to the ark! But how much more beautiful and worthy of our admiration is the one who created our children and all living things. Gods promises are always true, He never has and never will fail us or cause us heartache or dissapointment, when man seems to fail you, look to the One who will never fail you, who will never dissapoint you or let you down!

Aren't you grateful for the delight and privilege of praising our wonderful God, the most beautiful and generous and trustworthy of all beings!
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6:5

OH PLEASE, YOU ALL WANT TO CALL YOURSELVES GOOD CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, HOWEVER, I BET MOST FOLKS DON'T KNOW DAVID IS 2 MONTHS BEHIND IN HIS CHILD SUPPORT FOR HIS DAUGHTER AUTUMN. AMAZING TO ME THAT YOU GUYS CAN LAY YOUR HEADS DOWN AT NIGHT TO SLEEP WITHOUT A SICK GUILTY FEELING,AND YOU SAY YOUR TRYING TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE THE WORD OF GOD. SOUND TO ME YOU'LL ARE BIT HYPOCRITICAL. LAST I KNEW CHARITY BEGAN AT HOME AND TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN~~~~YOU NEED TO PRAY FOR YOUR OWN SOULS!!
