I was reading an article in “The Costco Connection” today. Yeah, I know. Who reads The Costco Connection? Better yet, who doesn’t toss it into the recycle bin as soon as they lay hands on it? I usually do, but this time a picture on the front cover caught my eye; a picture of Sir Ken [...]
Read moreMy oh my was it hot today! I didn’t realize how hot it was until I stepped outside at around 3 or so to take some garbage out. We are so blessed to have air conditioning in Ryan’s room. It’s the only room in the house that has it, so aside from enjoying being with Ryan, [...]
Read moreWhile watching the Olympics these past couple of days, I’ve gained a new appreciation for cycling. With the exception of individual time trials (and forgive me if I’ve overlooked an individual’s event) cycling races are comprised of teams. Each team is made up of individuals; each of whom has a specific strength or two. All throughout a long distance race, each rider uses his/her individual [...]
Read moreDeuteronomy 15:10 Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. This verse applies to all those who helped me today. Many men came out to tear down a 12 [...]
Read moreWatching the Opening Olympic Ceremony, it’s amazing to see all the technology that has been developed in recent years. I hope they make the same amount of progress soon for technology that can help Ryan and others ailing from some pretty dire conditions. Wouldn’t that be nice?

It’s obvious they’re having a good time. You can see the joy in the boys face, and the love in Ryan’s; born out [...]
Read moreI know my God is holding Ryan in His arms, and that He will never let him go… What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Refrain: Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning [...]
Read moreWe’re getting a little closer to starting construction, and to getting Ryan into a room that’s more central to all the activity. It’ll be nice to have him amongst us all the time. Never thought I would say that about my eighteen year old son. I always joked with him that as soon as he [...]
Read moreWhat a nice day it was today; not too hot, not too cold…just right. Reminds me of a story… Speaking of stories, have you read the one about Job? We are so blessed that despite all we have gone through this past year, we do not have it near as bad as Job did. And, as I’ve said [...]
Read moreTRUST verb: to have confidence or faith in… Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. I hope Ryan will soon join me in singing His praises…
