I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Psalm 34:1
We must first thank Yahuah (the LORD) for all His goodness. The air we breathe.
The roof over our heads. The land we garden. The crops that are coming.
The chickens in their pen and the eggs yet to come. The goats yet to join us.
The dairy cow and the milk she provides. The children in our arms. The life that we live.
We are blessed on all sides. In the country. In the field. In the town. In the street.
We are blessed coming in and going out. Rising up and lying down. We are blessed.
Fulfilled Prayer Requests!
---November 22, 2014, after nearly a month of using the church's spare van, we were given a car! Praise the Lord! It has 3 rows, seats 9, and is mechanically sound. What a blessing! Thank you, Marty Wenger and family!
----June 21, 2014, We have goats again! 3 milking does on loan until they dry off, three doelings that we are making payments on, and one guest buckling until his owner is ready for him to come back to service her does again. Thank you, Audrey Hacker, for blessing us!
----Sometime in May, we met a man here in Morrow that gives us eggs each week. What a blessing it is to find such friendly folk willing to bless our family. I get the feeling they know what it's like to have a bunch of kids....they had 9!!! Praise the Lord for the blessing of children!
----March 25, 2014, nearly 3 years after first coming to Teen Challenge, Ronnie accepted a full time position as Direct Care Staff at Teen Challenge Ranch of Northwest Arkansas!
----July 2014, We have all the living room furniture that we need!
We were given some nice furniture. One leather (or faux leather) sofa with recliners at each end, and one red loveseat. We now have enough seating for our whole family! Thank You, Jesus!
We were given another loveseat for our office. Now the office has seating for our whole family! Praise Jesus!

A generous man and his wife have given us a washer/dryer set. Photos are posted on the blog. Thank You, Mr. Rasmussen!
----With our income tax return, we purchased a 2000 Chevy Venture and then sold the suburban to our new mechanic!
