The Final Word

It seems like it has been forever since our son and daughter-in-law started the adoption process of a little baby boy. But in reality, it has been less than 2 months. Today ended the official process as papers were signed and the little bundle of joy is officially an Odle.

It has been interesting and rewarding to watch our children grow through this experience as they have had to place their faith and trust in God. It has also be interesting to watch how God put everything into place just at the right time and in shorter time than thought. Isn't God good? All the time!

Now to get back to the daily routines of life, but with a little different perspective. Never under estimate what God can and will do for those who not only love Him but serve Him with all their heart.

The blessing of Life

The blessing of life is something no one should take lightly. To see a precious little baby boy born into this world of ours is proof there is a Holy God who is not dead. A God who created such a complex human body what doctors study and scientists explore but neither understand completed or can recreate. Then you watch the mind of a 3 year old working and processing and again ask who could think of such things other than God HImself.

Yes we can not prove God exists but neither can you prove He doesn't exist. The Bible doesn't not set out to prove God exists; instead to assumes He exists and talks about what He is and does.

It is so easy for us to get wrapped up in our daily life that we forget there is something more we need to be concerned about, serving and honoring God with our total life.

Think on these things!

It has been a while since I updated my blog. Please forgive me.

So what has happened lately? VBS has came and gone. Last week was the big week and what a time we had. We averaged 69 people each day. That includes all our workers. A mission team from TN arrived on the 4th to help us with VBS. Our theme this year was the Boomerang Express. The children enjoyed the music, Bible stories, crafts, games, and snacks.

I want to thank the TN team for coming down again this year to help with VBS and I appreciate them so much. But what impressed me most was to watch our church family who worked with VBS. To see them become so excited about working that they volunteered to work again next year. Thank you also goes to all the people who contributed items that made VBS happen. Without you it would not have been the success that it was.

This year we will have 2 VBS sessions. Our next VBS will be lead by a group of World Changes at our mission church located in the Westchester Manor Condo Complex. Pray for the workers and the children who will be attending.

Today was a wonderful day of worship. We looked at 1 Peter 3:8-12 and discovered 6 things we need to do as children of God. We had guest in both the AM and PM services.

Praise God for His wondrous blessings!
