Family Excitement

Happy Birthday, Sofia! My granddaughter turned 6 years old on Saturday, November 6th. She had a birthday party with 9 friends. She called to thank us for her gifts and couldn't wait to tell us about the garden cake that her mother, Keri, had made with M&Ms and other candies. Sofia, we are so glad that God created you! You bring us such joy! I can't wait to see the pics on your mother's blog!

My youngest brother, Roger, just bought a bigger and better sailboat. It is 36 feet, has a full kitchen, radar, GPS system, and can make fresh water from salt water. Roger's dream is to sail to Hawaii. The boat is docked in Ventura, California.

Kirk just returned from a vacation to Hawaii with his wife, Tamra. While on the Big Island, a fellow hiker broke her leg in 3 places. While Kirk prayed, one of the bones moved back into place. Tamra, an RN, wrapped the leg with beach towels, and the small group of hikers carried the lady 2 miles to a waiting boat. One of the hikers was Jewish and said she couldn't wait to tell her Christian boyfriend about watching one of the bones miraculously move into place. Cool stuff! Kirk has also been given a scholarship to go to a Billy Graham evangelism conference in Nashville the end of this month.

Congratulations, Kelli! She just learned today that she has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors for the Western Michigan Public Relations Society. It is a three year term. I'm so glad for her since she has had many negative personal issues this year. God is watching over her, and is rewarding her for her faithfulness to Him! She's a beautiful, sweet girl! I'm not prejudiced. Ha!
