Easter in Auburn! Our whole family and lots of friends

All of our health – just incredible – everyone healthy, lots of hope and vision for what’s ahead

Basden Joy. She really is JOY. I have missed her.

Sweet sweet evening with our families at the O’neal’s Auburn home. Getting to see Percifelds, and Riley and Mary. Bran and Hooper completely entertained us with their music, so fun. Those boys really are both gifted – songwriting, playing, singing, knowing words and melodies, just so good

So helpful to get out of FW the past couple of days, clears my mind

Lord, you keep crushing my idols, thank you – I only want to worship you

“I came that they might have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10

“We love, because he first loved us” – 1 John 4:19 – Genuine love in my heart for God is generated by his love for me.

Jesus “came eating and drinking.” If he had a “method of evangelism,” that was it: eat a meal with people far from God. And all through the New Testament, apprentices of Jesus are commanded to follow his example through the practice of hospitality. Something as radically ordinary and setting a table can create space for people far from God to experience the Father’s warm welcome into his family. – John Mark Comer

Good convo with Mama

OHMYGOSH funniest story. This one will haunt me in the years to come:

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles… 1 Chron 16:11-12
