Thank you so much for all your prayers for our family! With God's amazing grace and mercy we are all well!

Thank you so much for continuing to pray for Hannah's health. With God's help, in June, we celebrated our sixth anniversary of Hannah's transplant!!! All of her doctor visits continue to be wonderful, and her blood tests to check her kidney always comes back super! She continues to be BELOW her "maintenance dose" on her medications and has lost some of the side effects of the Prednisone AND she continues to grow!! All glory to God! Thanks again for all your prayers!

We have just celebrated Hannah's seventeenth birthday! Incredible!! She is such a blessing! God has really given her a special gift with her abilities in art. This past year, she was in a one act drama about homelessness at her school that won State regionals and placed fourth in the State competition. She has a real love for Jesus and a desire to follow and please Him. She has a deep, deep sense of honesty and responsibility, and commitment to what is right and true. We are amazed at her discipline! Hannah is such a gift of love and beauty -- inside and out. She is really growing up! We are so proud of the young lady that she has become!

Josiah is now fourteen! He loves being with people! He surely has a gift of joy -- he keeps us smiling! This year, he is running on his school's eighth grade cross country team. He has a very tender heart and a real compassion and concern for people and burden for the nations! What a wonderful young man!!

Wow! What an honor! Cherie and I feel so grateful and blessed that God picked us to be their parents! He is truly a miracle worker to produce someone as great as these guys from ordinary parents like us!

Cherie is the glue that God uses to hold us all together. She directs our officebusy working with abused and neglected children here in Tulsa, as well as staying busy with Hannah and Josiah, and helping here in our offices. With God's help, she and I have now been married more than twenty years! Next to God's grace, she has to be the best thing that has ever happened to me.

There is not much in the world that I would rather do than to be laughing, playing, listening and just being with Cherie and the kids. They are just so much fun to be around! I believe that my favorite place in the whole world has to be home.
