Isaac and Lydiana are parents!!

Wade Henry, born 09/14/11, is the son of Isaac and Lydiana

For those who haven't already heard and seen Wade, I am thrilled to introduce him here!!
Although I'm a month late announcing this great news, I am none the less excited that Isaac and Lydiana are parents!!
Thank you, Jesus, for answering our prayers for Wade's safe arrival into this world!
What an awesome delight it is to know Isaac is experiencing his long anticipated dream of being both a husband and father! I'm sure Lydiana has experienced great joy in watching Isaac's strong arms cradle their precious son!
Congratulations Dear Friends!

"Next to your wife are your children; immortal spirits whom God has, for a time, entrusted to your care, that you may train them up in all holiness, and fit them for the enjoyment of God in eternity.
This is a glorious and important trust; seeing a soul is of more value than all the world beside. Every child, therefore, you are to watch over with the utmost care, that, when you are called to give an account of each to the Father of Spirits, you may give your accounts with joy and not with grief. "
John Wesley

Mr. Shough can moo, can you?

It's always a JOY to hear from our Dear Friends, The Shough family, since their recent move to Tennessee.

Charles called last week to catch us up on their recent adventures of farming. Evidently, Liberty, their blonde lab has not taken so well to their addition of chickens and a young bull, or is it the other way around? I'm sorry to say, Charles, you left us w/much to laugh about!! You did say, "Now it's funny, but at the time...!!" Ha~

We love and miss you Shough family. We look forward to seeing you soon!

May the LORD enrich your lives as you grow together through the changes of your new farm home environment. I admire your courage!!

"Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast." Psalm 36:6

I Love the Church~

I love the church, the flock bought with Christ’s blood—
Sheep gone astray He found and brought to God.
Guarded and fed by shepherds He provides,
We follow Christ, secure and satisfied.

Refrain:
May Christ be praised: “Preeminent! Adored!”
I love the church because I love her Lord!

I love the church, the bride whom Christ pursued—
Poor and unchaste, yet chosen, loved, and wooed.
Our Groom and Head in love laid down His life
To sanctify the church, His cherished wife.

I love the church, my fam’ly o’er the earth—
Sinners estranged, made one through second birth.
In selfless love Christ claimed us as His own,
And that same love from each to each is shown.

I love the church, one body Spirit-led—
Each part distinct, yet one through Christ our Head.
Each member serves, and thus our body grows,
Strengthened by gifts the Spirit wise bestows.

I love the church, the temple God indwells.
Built by our Lord, we triumph over hell.
Founded on Truth, Apostles’ doctrine sure,
We build on Christ, our Cornerstone secure.

I love the church, the pillar of God’s Word.
We will exalt the Truth till all have heard!
We will oppose the lies of erring men
That God in grace may turn them from their sin!
