Sara is growing up so fast... every night before we put her to bed we put a diaper on her so she will not wet the bed, and every morning the diaper is wet. However, last night (March 23) Sara got up in the middle of the night on her own, went to the bathroom, removed the diaper, and used the toilet, and went back to sleep! What a great milestone! I put a night light in the bathroom tonight to hopefully help her because the big light had to be very bright to her last night, you know how it is to turn a light on after you have been asleep for a while.

Daddy is 40!!

My 40th birthday party and first ever surprise party! My wonderful wife and mother worked together to put together a special day of celebration with family and friends. Thanks to all who came and made this a memorable occasion for me!

A few photos of the great times, great fun, and great laughs we are enjoying from a
3 year old and a soon to be 2 year old. There are some tough times but they don't compare to the fun and laughs! I love my little girls....-daddy

WORLD RELIGION II

WORLD RELIGION

This week I am taking a class during spring break called World Religions and Cults. We study and travel to various sites of 4 major religions (Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism) and two cults (Jehovah Witness and Mormon). We observe their worship services and have personal interaction with the people. Yesterday (Tues), we went to a Jehovah's Witness service. Tomorrow (Wed), we will go to 2 Jewish synagogues and Thursday we will go to a Muslim mosque and a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) meeting house.
Today, we visited two Hindu temples and one Buddhist temple. The people were very nice and we had a wonderful time. Their lost condition breaks my heart and you could see the emptiness in their eyes as they talked about how hard they work to satisfy their gods and gain their favor. It reminded me of Acts 17:16-34, when Paul was reasoning with the idol worhipers and philosophers in Athens and telling them about Christ, the One who's finished work on the cross redeems any who repent and call upon the Name that is above all names... Here are some photos of the Hindu and Buddhist. Frank
