“WHEN TROUBLES OF ANY KIND COME YOUR WAY, CONSIDER IT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GREAT JOY. FOR YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOUR FAITH IS TESTED, YOUR ENDURANCE HAS A CHANCE TO GROW.” James 1:2-3 NLT
Photo 1 – This photo was from last weekend’s Operation Welcome Home. I can only express the joy of being involved with these special military families who have found the time to come reconnect and refresh. For many it was the first time they have gotten away and spent some priceless time with their families. Some of the takeaways in the Chapel would bring tears to your eyes. I always try to say this quote in any military setting
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” Ronald Reagan 40th President of the United States.
Thanks to many of you for your support.
Photo 2 – This eagle is about to land in the large Cottonwood tree as you come into the ranch.
“Don’t you know by now that the Creator of the earth, never grows faint or weary even though youth get exhausted, and men will give up…. but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and mount up with wings like the eagles…” Isaiah 40:27-31
Photo 3 - The pamphlet is my personal testimony and some values of my life and family. In the photo, I am preparing for the Boston Marathon; so why am I talking about my weakness? After I was injured nearly 50 years ago, I have never forgotten how frail I am and how without God’s strength my accomplishments would be hardly worthy to mention. A Bible verse I had printed on the back of my racing chair said,
“I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
All the amazing miracles God has allowed to happen in my life can only be described as “Miracles Happen”. You can read about some of them in this pamphlet. If you would like a copy, let me know email
Miracles Happen .
God is good.
