A lot has happened since the last time I blogged. This though, is one of the biggest things that has happened:

Our oldest and his beautiful wife had their first child Aug. 16. He is perfect! Being grandparents has definitely been life changing, for the best of course.

With the joy that came from the birth of our first grandson, came the sadness of the loss of one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. She passed away suddenly and unexpectedly while I was in Canada meeting my new little grandson. We were able to make it back home in time for her funeral. She was the perfect example of a Titus 2 woman. She had an uncanny way of making every person she met feel like they were her best friend. I definitely was one of those people. I loved her dearly, and will miss her greatly. But I find great comfort in the fact that I will see her again.

     Titus 2:3-5
³ The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
⁴ That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
⁵ To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
