Tell the Children

New post on my Sermon notes page. Tell the Children is from Jack Hayford and is a podcast that I get from him. It deals with what we should show of our Christian faith to our children and how and uses the Bible to show it.

November Pictures from the Home Depot

Pirate ship time at the Home Depot.  We had a good time making the ships.  Have not tried to float them yet.

Recent Events

Some things that have happened recently in no particular order:

Home Depot April 2007

Home Depot for April 2007. We built a roller coaster car. Of course the decals for it were for Six Flags. Neat advertisements I guess. Click on the link for the Picasa Photo album.

Easter Eggstravaganza 2007

Easter Eggstravaganza. Our Church, Grace Church in Tulsa, held their 'no chocolate cause it melts in the sun' easter egg and candy hunt. Door prizes were given and Israel even participated in the 'Hands of Grace' performance. Move in the album if you click on the link.

Baptism Annie and Izzy

Last month, Annie and Israel, as a sign of their accepting Jesus in to their lives chose to get baptized. Here are some pictures and even some movies of the event.

Lots of stuff happening in the house of Dr. Bob.

Good News

Son has reported in from Jakarta. He lives in western Jakarta and most of the flooding was in the eastern part. All is well, but it is slowing some of his movements.

Prayer Request

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Jakarta floods death toll rises:

"At least 20 people have been killed and 340,000 made homeless by massive floods that have swept through the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.

Three days of torrential rain have caused rivers to burst their banks, sending muddy water up to 3m (10ft) deep into homes and businesses."

My son Gabe is in Indonesia. I have just heard about this and have not heard from him in a few days. Keep him, his wife and two sons in your prayers please. I will advise when I hear from him.

Still Waiting

I was supposed to be in surgery now but someone had not calculated when I last ate, so I am in my room waiting now. I hope they will take me soon but I do not know.
Annie has been worried about me, she even wore her neckless that I got her for Christmas so she would have a connection to me.
Israel on the other hand is like, you are going to be OK dad, what does a gall bladder do anyway? W
They are home now. Waiting in a waiting room with two kids would be no fun I know.
Waiting for a surgery is no fun either.
I thank God that he has touched me and given me a peace through all this. I have no fear, anxiety on the other hand!

Robert is being deployed

My stepson Robert Acree will be deployed to the Persian Gulf with the ship that he is on. I would ask prayers for him for all that would. His mother and I are proud of him and know that he is in God's good hands.

A couple of shots to show you the nice weather we had over the weekend. On the left, a bowl that got left out on the deck. It is full of ice and snow and the spoon in it will not come out. On the right, Annie and Israel take turns with pulling their sled on the ice covered surface that is our back yard. While this might not be much for people up north (like I am from), the people around here do not have things to deal with it. Already, Annie and Izzy have tomorrow off from school.
