Russ' memorial video

Here's the link to My Uncle Russ's Memorial Video, everybody at the funeral loved it,
some parts of it made them laugh, most of it brought tears, we will all really miss him,
he was so sweet, keep praying for my aunt Pam.

please pray for my aunt pam

this is my aunt Pam and my Uncle Russ, they were so good together, she really needs prayer. This is just one of the pictures she gave me for the montage, and it is so hard puttin' it together, all these sweet pictures of them just makes me want to cry. 

My Uncle Russ Passed Away

My aunt Pam called this morning at 6:30 a.m. and I knew then she was probably calling to tell us Russ had passed away. She was so upset I prayed with her and she just cried and cried, I've started working on a video montage for him and Mike has been singing "homesick" and it makes us both cry. Squeeze your hubbies extra hard today, and let 'em know how much you love them. 

life is a gift!, a prayer request

my dear, sweet uncle Russ, lies in MICU fighting for his life, I watch my aunt Pam, the one who always had fun with us, hang on to hope and I hang on with her, Russ can bearly speak through the oxygen mask, so I lean down and pray in his ear, and I speak to Lukemia in Jesus' name and tell it to go! now! God hears our prayers, pray for wholeness, Jesus died so we can live, don't take your life for granted! Pray for Russ to be healed, mind, body and soul, my aunt said today he's gettin' frustrated but he's hangin' in there, I told him yesterday he'd better because he was the best thing that ever happen to my aunt and the sweetest most sincere man I've ever known.

let me introduce myself to you

i love this song, it says it all...

No More No Less
I'm not trying to hide anything
I wear it on my sleeve I wear it on my sleeve
I'm not trying to be something I'm not
This is all I've got This is all I've got
I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel
Just trying to be real Trying to be real
I'm not trying to say follow me
I'm not the one who leads I'm not the one who leads

Let me introduce myself to you
This is who I am No more, no less
I am just a man who understands
Because of You I'm blessed
No more, no less
I'm not trying to prove anything
It's all about the change It's all about the change

Let me introduce myself to you
This is who I am No more, no less
I am just a man who understands
Because of You I'm blessed
No more, no less

I hope you stare just long enough to see
The heart that's beating here inside of me
Beyond all of the things you may think you know
I'm just a kid trying to make it home,
that's itNo more, no less Lord,
I want to go homeNothing more, nothing less

Pure Praise in Meridianville

We had another PurePraise event in Sept. and it was great, afterwards the guys played basketball and wall ball with them and the pastor's wife watched our kids for us the whole service they even blew up a bounce house for 'em, we were so blessed. They want us to come back in Oct. for a Praise and Worship workshop and a couple other churches have called to schedule a PurePraise event in nov. and feb. Go God!!
We had an odd time last weekend when we went to a youth explosion and Mike ended up being the only white guy there, amidst all the rappers he got up and played his guitar and just worshipped, it was wild! 

Our Latest Project

This guy was so cool, he's one of those rare people that inspire you and make you feel like you can be an inspiration too! He had a dream and in the dream he heard a melody, then he decided to make it into a song, it was beautiful, he said he might even get me to make it into a video later, that'd be cool, last week another guy came added some violin tracks to it and it was so beautiful I think he cried. 

Amy Lost Her First Tooth!

Sorry I forgot to mention it in their update, she was so excited about the tooth fairy, who fell asleep the first night but made it the second night. 

Singin' those School Songs

Abby and her friend Sarah were swingin' and singin', you remember those ol' rhyming songs about kissing and stuff we sang in elementary school, it's funny how they think it's new.
