A quiver full
I am so proud of my kids. Jon, Michelle, Nick, Eric, and Emily. Jon and Tina make such a great team. Juggling care giving, school, and church in masterful style, they carefully take care of each other's feelings and manage to make things sweet, living a day at a time in joy. Seth, Maryn, and Jonas. They are real and amazing and crazy fun. Each one with special gifts and talents. Each with powerful spirits in small and wiggly bodies. Michelle and Brandon. Strong, brave, sensitive, and smart, mixing common sense with vision, head strong with penitent, creative with concrete, they make it work because they understand God's plan and His ever present hand, shaping and creating new hearts within them. Zane and Annie. Brilliance and beauty. Nick. Becoming the man he wants to be. Reaching forward with high hopes and faith. Full of goodness and grace. Lover of good. Gifted with children. Eric. Elder Stone Loves Christ and His gospel. Loves the people of Colombia and is lost in the service of God. Emily. A special gift of caring about and loving her nephews and nieces that shows the depth of her character. Somehow she is the oldest, even though she is the youngest.

Dad, this was really beautiful. In my opinion, if this blog was created for nothing more than to write that post, it would be worth it. I will hold the sentences about my family in particular close to my heart as we begin a new adventure. thanks for the strength.
and be careful....with words like that, we are going to start thinking you should write a book.
