WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!
PHOTO ONE – All winter long I wait for the arrival of May and the amazing WILD BLUEBELL patch across the Root River. As soon as the rains come and the ground warms up they never fail to come alive and display some of God’s incredible delicate beauty. Matthew 6:28-30 “…Consider the lilies of the field…”Solomon in all his glory was not as beautiful as the lilies and I will include the BLUEBELLS at Ironwood.
PHOTO TWO – Jode and I were just blessed with our 6th grandchild and 2nd granddaughter named Ellie. She was born May 19th. The verse we have chosen to celebrate her birth is Psalm 4:7 “You have given me greater JOY than those who have abundant harvest of grain and new wine.” Psalm 127:3-4 “Children are a heritage from the Lord…” Children are called a gift from the Lord, because of this God cares about how our children are raised and nurtured. Jode and I are doubly blessed to have all our grandkids close by.
PHOTO THREE – Speaking in Lacrosse, WI at Leading with Power (faith-based group of business leaders). After some time off, I am now so blessed to be back as a keynote speaker. I have been a motivational speaker for about 30 years. I have spoken to approx. 125 schools, 150 churches, and many others including marathons, corporate companies, jails, sports banquets, military events, service clubs, hospitals, etc. One of my highlights was being invited to the National Day of Prayer in Washington, DC, and speaking to 300 high-ranking military.
PERSONAL NOTE: I have been dealing with health issues for over a year. Being paralyzed from the waist down has created some wounds on my back for which I am now wearing a Wound-Vac for healing. In addition, I was recently told I have 1st state cancer in my Pancreas for which I am taking chemotherapy. Doing well so far. The Apostle Paul says, “God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of Love, Power and a Sound Mind. Thanks to many of you for your prayers, cards, and phone calls. I will keep you updated.
