It's Amazing; Random thoughts

It is truly amazing to see the hand of God at work in all that I see around me. From friends helping people coming into our country from all around the world (click here), to those who have come back to the US after working in a far away world (click here), to those who are just trying to reach their own corner of the world (click here). God is truly at work through His people.
Personally we have had a pretty good January so far. Earlier this month, we were able to get away with some friends and spend quality time together. We aslo got to celebrate my parents 40th anniversary, (which is actually today). So far, there has not been a weekend since Christmas that Jenn and I haven't spent at least a little time away from the kids.
Wow, 40 years. What an awesome example Jenn and I have to look to. Mom and dad have stuck it out through thick and thin. There were times where dad was working in Chicago or New Jersey that I'm sure were tough, but here they are celebrating 40 years. We joked with them that they must have gotten married when they were 5 years old, because there is no way that they could be that old.
Thank you mom and dad for all you have done for your family, children, and grandchildren.

Seven Pounds

www.sevenpounds.com

Just recently, Jenn and I took a date night to see "Seven Pounds" with Will Smith. This is not your romantic comedy. "Ben Thomas" is out to help people in a manner that gives life a new focus. It is definitely one you want to go see.

I apologize for not getting things out on this blog since November. Hopefully more things will come as I refocus, and get some "guest writers" to help me in the process.

God Bless,
Ben
