Forest was right

A movie quote from the 90's that I have heard waaay too often from the movie Forest Gump, no it's not RUN FORREST! Although I have heard that all too often as well. The quote is, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what your going to get."


This is proven true time and time again, but what does that box look like? Is your box filled with chocolates that all look the same as each other or is there a variety of Valentine's chocolates that look eerily like last year's gift? We are all of God's creation, and if you are a true believer in Christ, your box of chocolates are beautiful and often times varied. True, some of life's situations are difficult and they don't look very pretty at first glance, but to God they are beautiful and they glorify Him. So as Christians, let's not live out our lives like a box of cordial cherries (yum!) where everyday looks the same. Live out each day for what it really is, an exciting and beautiful gift and don't miss out on His blessings!



Kudos to Amanda for the beautiful box of chocolates, such an inspiring gift :)

A beautiful box of chocolates!

The most beautiful one = one beautiful day or event.

All is well

At lest weather wise it is. It has finally gotten cold here, and althoug we haven't gotten a lot of snow yet, we are expected to get some soon :)
Sandra and I had a great time over Christmas break. We went to Kansas where we are both from to visit our families and many, many of our friends. While we were constantly on the move and tired out, it was great to visit friends in K.C., Pittsburg, Caney, Coffeyville, Independence, Manhattan, and Topeka. Sadly there is never enough time to visit everyone on the list, especially since some people were simply not home at the time :( Maybe next time!!!
Sandra is now back to work and I will be starting classes again next week. This should be my last semester of my Master's degree.
For your entertainment, here is a video of nephew Elijah playing with the gift we gave him for Christmas :)
