Hi there!

Tige & Renee above before Renee fought breast cancer in suummer- winter of 2009.  Now a survivor/pink ribbon & shorter hair.

Pray for me as I will for thee.  -That means you reading this- Col.1:11

 We are so incredibly blessed to know the Creator of the beautifully intricate butterfly & aromatic blooming flower!     I am grateful to The KING OF KINGS (Rev.19:16b)  for His free gift of eternal life!  There is peace like a river for those who know they are to spend eternity in Heaven.  Am I worthy-NO WAY!  I sure am not getting there by anything I could ever say or do.  It is all b/c of Christ dying on the cross to pay my sin debt. 

  Yes, we all sin-me included & are seperated from God & Heaven b/c of our sin debt (eternal punishment in Hell would suffice & is where I'd be w/ out Christ).  I am FORGIVEN from all past, present & future sins.  Now that's something to PTL @!

Trust Him today!  Please go to contact us & let me know if you'd like to know more @ how you can know for sure where you'll spend eternity.   It's important!

Look at Creation-what is your favorite part to look at???   I love pink sunsets, flowers, butterflies (also a symbol of new life in Christ-2Cor.5:17- & ressurection),puppies & tigers.  These things are lovely to dwell upon(Phil.4:8).  

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature-have  been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." -Romans 1:20

                 For The KING

                                                                   and For The KINGDOM,

                                                                          Renee 

I will leave you with a favorite Bible verse of mine.  How can I choose just one???! 

First I give you my favorite prayers that I'll be praying until He returns: Philippians and Colossians Chapter 1:9-12.

The next passage is always a good reminder when our days don't go the way we desire:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

     Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things."   -Phil.4:6-8

The passage in Scripture that reminds me to not give up when times get tough, but to press on also reminds me of running in a race ( I ran cross-country in college after soccer).  .....I press on toward the goal of Heavenward in Jesus Christ.  -Phil.3:13b & 14

The last portion of Scripture from God's Word I leave you with was such a comfort to me when Emily Renee was six days old and "crashing" (the Dr.'s didn't know she couldn't eat b/c of discomfort in her lungs as she had pneumonia).  Then again a comfort when Josh was hit by a pick up truck while on his bicycle at age five (at the time we didn't now the only injury was a broken femur and Attalia was born that very night while Josh was in traction).  This verse is now used whenever a child is scared at bed time.  We then sing it together.-                 "Fear not, I am with you.  Be not dismayed, for I am your God.  Yes, I will help you.  I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."  -Isaiah 41:10 

May His Word be a comfort to you.  It is tried and true-never been proven otherwise, despite many attempts.  Ray Comfort offers $10,000 to anyone who can offer evidence otherwise.  Go to his website  for more evidence (scientific, through medicine, even archeologists now use The Bible to find lost cities..) raycomfort.com

This one is for you-    "Cast all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you."-1Peter 5:7

It is a comfort to know that my Heavenly Father is right there for you,  you taking the time to read this.  Thank you .  May you reach out to Him now- He knows your every thought.  I sure am grateful for Jesus being my best friend!
