To change

June 1st,2006 was the 11th anniversary of the death of our 4th son, Matthew. His death was due to complications from Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa. On June 2nd, 2006, our oldest son, Jonathan graduated from high school.

Something's you don't think about until they happen to you, but you spend all your time creating a family when you are married and then after a few years, you spend your time letting it break up.

And you can talk about daughter-in-laws and grandkids, but there is a big difference between talk and the actual event.

I think that life is about change. A rut is just a grave site with the both ends kicked out.

Jesus has called us to change, to grow and become "mature and complete, lacking in nothing."

James 1

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."

I challenge you to look at today not as a series of problems but as an opportunity to work toward becoming mature and complete. As we grow we can become a blessing to those around us.
