Jesus and My Sons

Rhonda and the boys were talking about Easter today. After Rhonda explained how Jesus can live in our hearts, Evan later asked, "Can Jesus live in my heart if I ask him to?"

A few minutes later I got this phone call:

Mommy: The boys want to tell you something.
Daddy: What is it boys?
Evan: Jesus disappeared out of the tomb and now he lives in my heart!
Daddy: That's great!!!
Gideon: Jesus died on the cwoss and now he lives in my heaaaarrrrtTTT!
Daddy: That's great!!!

My heart is full.

Here's three to get started:

Wednesday Morning

Thankfully the strange location of our hotel did not hinder sleep. Maybe I'll get a picture of it up for you all. We are located RIGHT NEXT TO A TATTOO PARLOR! Dee: I'm having to restrain Rhonda from sneaking over to it.

Just kidding!

This morning was a powerful and probing message from Pastor David Minton of Capital Christian Center in Olympia, WA. He gave some raw, honest, probing questions:

1. What do you want? What is in your heart that you want from God? Be real and be specific. It doesn't mean that you will get it, but it dramatically increases your chances.

2. What is in your hands? What has God placed in your hands? What can you do? What gifts and strengths do you have?

3. Who is with you? Who loves you and believes in you?

We're having a great time being refreshed. Thanks for your prayers! I'll be posting more as it goes!

God bless you all!
