My kids


If you don't know my son, let me describe him to you. Nathan is a quiet, laid back, techy, analytical, sarcastic, strong-willed, and what I have called BBC humored. I say this all as a compliment. I'm proud of my son. I've actually seen him run across a parking lot to hold doors open for the elderly. I've seen him give away all his money to buy someone else dinner and not have enough to pay for his own. I've seen him raise his hands in worship to God, not caring what the people next to him are thinking. He made the decision at a young age to live a godly lifestyle - no alcohol, no drugs, living a life of purity and accountability. I've seen him walk across the stage at his graduation after 12 years of hard work - and then walking across the campus of John Brown University as a college freshman - following his childhood dreams. I sometimes feel a little guilty when I hear others talk about the tough situations that they've had to deal with their sons. But then I know, just as his name declares he is "A gift from God". I've spoken & prayed words of blessings & godliness into his life and I'm not surprised of the outcome.


Oh, my Natalie! If you've met her, you'd remember!
She's our bundle of energetic joy. Our miracle baby...the one we longed for so long. I finally broke down, praying the prayer of Hannah - Lord, bless me with a daughter (yeah, I know Hannah wanted a son!) and I'll raise her in the house of the Lord and she will learn to serve you. God blessed us with Natalie and she loves Him and serves Him.

She loves to participate in the Servalife's we do - and she hands out PAID4U.tv cards to her friends and teachers at school....inviting them to church and tells them to give the cards to someone else.

She's a sweetheart - loves animals, people, and God but oh, gosh....what a dramatic child she is!
She's in 2nd grade, almost an eight year old. Wow. I wish that I had as much energy and love as she does. Her laugh makes me laugh - and her cry makes me cry. I'm so blessed God gave her to us. I tell her everyday (as I did Nathan) before school "You are blessed and highly favored" and she'll either laugh or growl at me "yeah, I know!"
