Happy Birthday Amanda Elisabeth!

 29 years ago Doug and I became parents for the very first, but certainly not the last, time.








Yes, this is the one who started it all!



She's also the one who has encouraged us to keep at it.


And if this beautiful, intelligent, God loving, young woman is any indication, we are pretty darn good at it.


 We can't take all the credit, though.


 Parenting is one case where we have relied heavily on the instruction manual.


Proverbs 14:26
In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence,and his
children will have a refuge.


Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Colossians 3:21
Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Happy birthday Mandy!  You are a true BLESSING!

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
