Elizabeth

Our granddaughter Elizabeth (Bitsy) had surgery on July 7 to lengthen her Achilles tendon, with the hopes that this is the last step in correcting her club foot. Once she got past the post-surgery recovery room, she has done well, and in quite moble with her cast, which she will have to wear for six weeks (1 down, 5 to go). Candy is in Milwaukee this week for some Grandma-Time. Erik and Norm are managing with the dogs in Dallas.

Personal Mission Statement

My intent is to live in such continuous awareness of the presence of God that my heart and character are in increasingly congruent harmony with Jesus Christ.

Philippians 3:10-11; John 17:3
Deuteronomy 10:12; Micah 6:8

To share in Christ’s sacrificial, serving love first with my wife, our children, their children and Candy's Dad.
To use the spiritual gifts of pastor-teacher and wisdom for spiritual leadership in a community of faith so others can be drawn into intimacy with Jesus Christ and share his sacrificial, serving love with others, so that together we may experience God’s righteousness and mercy, peace and justice.
