For our anniversary yesterday Adriana and I enjoyed listening to some Frank Sinatra and taking a relaxing, peaceful drive through lush vineyards and farms to Orient Point at the end of the beautiful north fork of Long Island. Along the way we stopped at Raphael’s Vineyard which was featured on The Apprentice a few years ago, a lavender farm, and walked along the beach. Later in the evening we went out for a very nice Italian dinner.
Happy 13th Anniversary to my Beautiful Bride!
Today Adriana and I are celebrating our 13th Wedding Anniversary for the second time. (We got married twice for those who don’t know. And there was no divorce in between. April 28, 1996 in the U.S. and August 10, 1996 in Mexico which was our church wedding.) I am grateful to God for blessing me with such an incredible and beautiful woman who challenges and sharpens me every day.
Home from Camp
Just arrived home from a week at summer camp. Really awesome time meeting with God, having fun, and making new friends. I was privileged to be the speaker for the camp and had a blast sharing God’s Word with such cool people. Will post some pics when I have a chance.
Daughter #2 Rides 2-Wheeler!
So after my eldest daughter learned how to ride her bike last week, the younger one decided to go for it all by herself yesterday. Borrowing another girl’s bike here at Camp Shiloh, she took it on the grass, and with no help from anyone, taught herself how to ride a 2-wheel bike in just 15 minutes. She came running in the house to tell us. We were not sure whether to believe her, but when we went outside, she was racing around at top speed. Wow! Go Natalia! So proud! I will put the video up when we get home.
Having Fun @ Camp Shiloh
Hey everybody! We are alive and well and having a fun time at camp. I was violently sick Saturday night and it was a real miracle I even made it here. But God is good and after a rough day Sunday yesterday I seemed to be through the worst of it and today I am much better, thanks God. Sunday evening the kids got registered, had dinner, and in the evening had an opening chapel at which Pastor Laurie Crowley gave a great message to open the week. Yesterday was full of activities including kayaking, swimming, water skiing, tubing, etc. They also had team competitions climaxing with a slip & slide water balloon race which was quite comical to watch. In the evening I spoke at chapel about the glory of God, laying the groundwork for our messages this week based on Isaiah 60:1-3. At the end of the message dozens of kids came forward and made commitments, and this morning we heard reports that several kids received Christ for the first time. So exciting! This morning we had skill classes and chapel. The kids are walking to lunch right now as I look out the window. The camp is posting daily pictures and videos on their website www.campshiloh.org Blessings to you all! Thanks for your love and prayers!
Off to Summer Camp!
In just a couple of hours we are off to summer camp! My computer is going in the shop for repair while we are gone, so I am not sure if I will be able to post pics here on the blog. Check back to see, but I am not sure. You can visit the camp website, and I believe they will be uploading pics throughout the week: www.campshiloh.org – PK
