Yes, Henry, it's something like that...

Tonight, Billy was reading to the children the story of Abraham. He read to them about Abraham packing up his family and moving them far away because God told him to. He talked about how Abraham heard God and obeyed Him. Henry replied, "But I can't hear God talking." Billy tried to explain that God doesn't speak to us like He did to Abraham, but we can read about what God wants us to do in the Bible. Henry: "But I can't read!" O.K., O.K., on to the next part. Billy then read about God's promise to Abraham that his offspring would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Henry's observation: "Whoa, they couldn't even fit in our minivan! I guess he needed a limousine!"

Hello Emily! What a beautiful family you have ...

I enjoyed reading an article in a magazine recently about you and your family. I admire the love you have for your family and laughed out loud about you getting locked in the room and climbing out the window. I'm glad the all was OK with Ellen. God is so good.

Can't wait to see you at the reunion.
