One of Bowen's Easter eggs had $5 in it.

On Easter, Candace and I hosted a BBQ at our house. We had a great time eating, visiting and watching the kids search for Easter eggs. The eggs this year had money and candy in them. Some of us adults wanted to go and look for eggs this year. We had such a great time and the weather was perfect. I hope all of you had a great Easter too.

New Pictures of Chloë

While we were in Bakersfield at Youth Convention we had a special 4D sonogram done of Chloë and here are some of the photos. The little fuzz around her head is hair. Chloë is 31 weeks and her expected due date is June 2. Keep her and mommy in your prayers. They are doing great!

Our 3rd Anniversary

On February 26th it was our 3rd year anniversary. For the special occasion Candace and I spent a few days at the beach. Here are some photos of our trip. In this picture Candace is on the pier in Avila Beach.

This was the view from our room at the Cottages in Pismo Beach.

This was after our anniversary dinner at McClintocks one of our favorite places to eat.

While we were at the beach there were big waves that closed the beach part of the time while we were there. Here is Candace afraid of the BIG waves.

I love my beautiful wife. The last three years have been the best three years of my life. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful person in my life. I love you Kay- you are the love of my life!

Section 6 Youth Detonation

This past Friday night our section had it's Detonation 2008 service. Bro. David McGovern preached the event and he did an outstanding job. Our church was near capacity and there was a powerful move of God during the night. Our church praise team started the service off with praise and worship. After that Bro. Landry Cantrel sang a special and did a great job. Then a singing group from Visalia, Bro. McPhail's church sang a few specials and really brought the house down. Young people were running, shouting and praising God! The top picture is a crowd shot from the back of the church. The middle picture is of the Visalia singing groups drummer, an awesome 12 year old young person, and the bottom photo is of my little nephew Bowen dancing during the service. The attendance is said to have been around 200 and the majority of these were young people. It is great to see that there are still young people who are on FIRE for God. Bro. McGovern preached a great message encouraging our young people reminding then that if God be for us, who can be against us! This was a great event that brought youth together and increased their faith in God.

Here is a picture of my wonderful parents. My dad is an awesome father, a great pastor and a constant friend. My mother is the sweetest thing in the world, truly beautiful on the inside and out. If you know them I am sure that you would agree, and if not then you should meet them sometime. I am very blessed to have loving parents who care for me and raised me in a Godly home. There were times during my youth when I thought that they were too strict, but as I grow older I am thankful for the restrictions that they placed upon my life and the pain and sorrow they saved me from. The stand that they took for God and the standards that they enforced was not to hurt me, it was for my protection. Today I love God and I love going to church. I am involved in the ministry and have a desire to raise my family in church. Thank God for parents who still stand up for what is right! We need more parents that will draw the line and say "For me and my house we're going to serve the Lord". It doesn't matter who else is doing it, or who else is going there, or who else is wearing them. Thanks mom and dad for instilling in me the Christian values that direct my life today.
