Have you ever heard that before? Have you ever heard that tragedies come in 'threes'? Well, that 'theory' holds true in my life and continues this season...
Thursday, November 5 - Man opens fire at Fort Hood killing 13 and injurying many more.
Thursday, November 12 - Old YL Leaders and dear friends' 3 month old baby stops breathing at babysitters and dies on following Sunday.
Thursday, November 19 - Dear YL friends in Boerne come home from dinner and find their high school son who had committed suicide.
Lots of Questions. No Answers. All Faith. All Trust. It's in these times that we turn to the only guaranteed stable thing in our life. Jesus Christ. Our Rock. Our Foundation. Our Hope. Without Him, we have nothing. With Him, we have everything!
He never promises a pretty and easy road. But He does promise to never ever leave us! And for that I give Thanks during this Thanksgiving Season. Just so you know, Thanksgiving is not a Holiday, it's a WAY OF LIFE! Few people are Thankful. It saddens my heart so much.
Life is full of ups and downs. I'm not sure why tragedies seem to come in Threes. I do know that after Three Days Jesus rose from the Dead though! And He lives today.
Do you know Him?
Happy Turkey Day to you and yours...

Our Children, Part Duece...
It makes me laugh when people are so concerned as to WHEN Taylor and I are going to have children. Simply to suit your 'fancy' this email is for you...
This is Alex, Chase, Mullens and Stefan at our 1st Annual Jell-O-A-Rama-A-Thon that we did with First Baptist Church. We were supposed to do Jell-O and Pudding Wrestling, but the rain moved us inside. We had to flex a whole bunch. We threw down Drop Clothes and had a Night Full 'O Jell-O! It was a blast. I was so thankful that no one got seriously hurt.
Not to self ... Jell-O on a tarp like substance becomes like Black Ice! Watch your step...
This is a pic of some of our group last night from Capture The Pumpkin at Conder Park. This is an annual event that we do around Halloween to break up the semester. It was extremely fun as always. The seniors took on the underclassmen. The seniors won the first game. Underclassmen the second and the Seniors pulled out the 2 out of 3 victory by winning the 3rd game! It was intense. Now we move on to our Polar Bear Winter Retreat December 4 - 6.
On to our 'other' children...
This is picture of Bourne sleeping ON ME! He is such an affectionate cat. He loves to lay on, near and around me when night falls. It is rather funny. Taylor snapped this picture before she got in bed the other night.
This is a close up of Bourne's right leg / paw. On Saturday, we are not sure what happened, but Bourne began limping on his right leg. All you had to do was look at it and tell that something was wrong. It looked like he was wearing a cast. It was so funny looking. He is better now and the swelling has subsided.
My assumption is that while he was digging around in the flower bed, he got bit or stung by something. The swelling lasted about 12 hours. He is all back to normal now and rowdier than ever!
Bourne and Bauer LOVE to be outside! They have fresh food and fresh water inside the house at all times, but they insist on drinking out of the Bird Bath in the backyard! This may be the cutest picture that Tay has snapped yet...
So there ya have it. Those are our kids. No 'kids' on the way yet. We will let all know when those days are nigh...
