"Contentment is destoyed by comparison"-Steve Farrar


Listen to this to hear a family inspiring broadcast!
Do you remember the last time you felt true contentment? When you didn't want more money, more time, more things? I remember a fall day when Rog, Erik and I were riding our 4-wheeler. The sun was shining and the day was beautiful. While Rog and Erik rode in the woods I tooled around on my bike. The wildflowers were blooming in the fields, the clouds were puffy white. I felt blessed, contented. We were having fun as a family and the pressures of life were oblivious for that moment. Think about your moment of contentment.

God's Tools




"Children should have little Craftsman labels on them 'cause they are God's tools."-Roger

As Roger said God uses our children. We want to be better examples. When we had Erik Roger asked me to pray and thank God for him. Even though we weren't Christians at the time we knew this little blessing came from God. Then we decided we wanted to raise our kids in church. So we sought a church. God used the kids to draw us to Him. In this world of confussion, disbelief in anything, our children should be our inspiration for greater things. Satan would have us regress but God wants us to progress. We learn to be less selfish as parents if we want what is best for our children. As with everything it is a process of living and learning. As our friend says "God should have made us grandparents before parents." If only I knew then what I know now.
