Weekend Reflections

1. Crazy week we had last week as we went to Springfield MO for a couple days for Evangel University graduation. Had a good time seeing some of our students who are doing really well with college life. I also had the chance to visit James River Assembly for the first time. Was pretty amazed by their facility. Starbucks coffee anyone?

2. Great services yesterday at Hope. Talked about the three characteristics of a godly mom. We had four people get up and give testimony of how their mom made a great difference in their life. I don't think there was a dry eye in the building in first service. A godly mom is one who knows how to pray, she is a woman of strength and a woman of love. Thanks to Vanna Bushong, Ashley Meyer and Derek Bates and Taren Young for sharing about their mom.

3. Mothers Day is bitter sweet for me as it has been a year since my mom passed away. I know my mom is in glory celebrating with Jesus.

4. Spent the rest of the day with the family and took a walk at Diamond Lake. It was definitely a beautiful day and a great day to spend with my wonderful wife who is a great mom! The kids made a special book for her that they colored and they also got her a plant and a book by Karen Kingsbury.
