Fall - A time for change

Well it looks like Fall has arrived in full. Most of the leaves are gone and temperatures in the mornings and evenings are perfect. I love fall and how each new season reminds me that I can and need to change.

I used to be the type of person that made excuses for the why I acted by claiming "thats just the way I am and I can not change that". Praise God I now know differently. Though what God has shown me though the teaching at Remnant Fellowship I see that I was the one that needed to change, not my wife, kids, job, etc, etc.

If you want to learn more about how to change, I recommend the audio cd by Gwen Shamblin called "Look Inward and Change All the Way". You can get a copy on the Weigh Down Libary by clicking here.

Go ahead and try it - see what happens when you change instead of thinking that it is impossible to change or wanting others to change, you will find true joy. Here is a short video testimony of how I realized that I needed to change and the joy that comes from looking in.

A Selfless Marriage

Wow, hard to belive that my wife and I have been married for 20 years! It is has been an wonderful 20 years and I am so excited for the next 20. I can honestly say the past 6 years of our marriage have been far and away better than than the previous 14. It was during this time that we learned how to really love, starting with loving God and then loving each other more and more.

If I could recommend one thing for every marriage it would probably be the audio cd by Gwen Shamblin called "A Selfless Marriage". In this CD Gwen teaches the basics of what changed our marriage. It taught me that marriage is not about me and to getting the focus off me and onto God first and then my wife. That simple, yet incedibly deep truth, has transformed our marriage into something beautful and amzaing.

Trip to NY

Back in August Sara and I had a chance to go to NYC with Laura. It was her high school graduation gift. We had amazing time! God blessed us with perfect weather and we crammed in a lot in three days.

Some of the things we did:

• Broadway Show - Mary Poppins
• Central Park
• Boat ride on the river and around the Statue of Libery
• Wall Street
• NY Bagels
• NY Pizza
• China Town
• And of course SHOPPING!

Here is Sara and Laura riding the subway down to China town.....

Raising Children

My wife and I have 6 children (currently ages 18 to 7)- all of which have been a great joy in our lives. But like most parents we struggled with how to really train their hearts and keep them focused on God.

One of the things that helped us most in training the children is the dvd/cd set called Feeding Children Physically and Spiritually. It is a great reference for how to raise up your children to have a heart for God.

You can get it on the Weigh Down online store, by clicking on the link below - it is on sale this week. It will be the best $25 you have ever spent on your kids!
