My brother.

On Thursday, May 21st, my brother, Kelley, broke his back in a boating accident. He is doing okay now and is just trying to live with the pain. He had surgery on Friday, the 22nd, and they put titanium rods in his back. They have fitted him for a back brace and are hoping to get him walking today. The doctors think he may be able to go home tomorrow or Thursday. He will stay with my parents for a short time, then drive back to San Diego to reunite with his wife and sons. I spent Memorial Day weekend up in Bullhead City, Arizona with my parents and I made the short trip to Las Vegas to visit my brother in the hospital. I arrived safely back in San Diego last night with my sister in law and 2 of my nephews. All is going well and I am so happy to be back in normal 70 degree weather. It was 104 degrees in Arizona! Yuck! God is so good and He hears our prayers. I am so thankful for all my friends who are willing to pray when I ask them to. I hope I can always return the favor. Proverbs 3:5-6

Thankful for the man of God!

I just have to say that I am so thankful to the Lord for allowing me to attend an awesome church where the Pastor is full of wisdom and walks with the Lord. I love my Pastor and as I see some others, it makes me more and more thankful for him. My Pastor is not afraid to preach about seperation (from the world) and he preaches with authority and love at the same time. I have 2 friends who have been having a hard time with their Pastors. One left the church and my other friend is still praying about what to do about it. These friends live in two different states (from me and each other), so you don't know who I am talking about. But as I listen to their complaints, I am reminded that I have a godly Pastor who knows the Book and uses it a lot during his preaching. So, thank you Lord, for my Pastor and my church. Thank you for allowing me to live where I live. God is so amazing, and me, so unworthy. I love the Lord!

Hi; Hola

Hi folks!
I know I haven't been writing in this blog all too much, but here I am once again. I have been busy. These next 3 weekends will be busy too. I'll be up in Santa Barbara,CA this weekend, then I have to take photos next weekend then I'll be in Arizona again the weekend after that. Busy, busy, busy. The weather here has been great. Today it is 77 degrees with a cool breeze. It's perfect. I am hoping to go out soul winning with the Spanish ministry tonight. They are having "Dia del Amigo" next Sunday and we are trying to invite as many Spanish speaking people as possible. So far, God has been blessing them. Not only are people signing up to come, but people are getting saved! God is sooooo awesome! "Jesus le dijo, yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida, nadie, viene al Padre, sino por mi". Juan 14:6

The birds are singing:0)

Well, today is another beautiful day! I am so glad I live in San Diego (sometimes). I do long for the country though. There is nothing quite like sitting on a front porch in the middle of nowhere on a summer evening and listening to the crickets sing. There is a bird feeder on the balcony where I work and the birds have been going crazy eating all the seeds. I love it though because they sing and chirp. Mostly sparrows come to it. It makes me think of the song that says "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He's watching me". Yesterday, my Aunt passed away. It was unexpected. So, today, I am thankful for another day. I am sad that she passed so suddenly and I wish I had gotten to know her better. But, when someone you care about dies, it sure makes you grateful for another day of life. God is so good to us!

In loving memory of my Aunt, Ruth Kathleen Bonner
