"THAT OUR SONS MAY BE AS PLANTS GROWN UP IN THEIR YOUTH...."

PSALMS  144:12A

We have 12 sons!  9 of them are adopted.

Jason, Josh,  Joshua, Mark, Thomas, Adam, Josiah, Caleb, Jedidiah, Abraham, Christian, and Isaiah

Our desire for them is to grow to be arrows for Christ as clearly stated in Psalm 127:3-5. Too many young men these days are followers and not leaders.

We desire to see our sons grow not only in body and intellect, but also in spirit. We want them to follow the example of Jesus in His youth, increasing "..in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:52

Our boys are learning to become young men, warriors for Christ and leaders of their families as Godly, faithful husbands. We feel that strong, righteous Christian men are needed to lead their families and our country back to it's Christian roots.

Seven of our older sons have joined together to form Legacy Builders. They share a vision for a family business which utilizes and promotes each of their individual talents. We have carpenters, plumbers, electricians, painters, concrete masons and a great demolition crew! And of course, a wonderful foreman with LOTS of experience~ our Poppa!

Here is an example of their handiwork in progress...Joshua and Katie's house!

Our nephew Ryan has grown to be such a courageous young man. He has graduated from Advanced Infantry Training in the United States Army as well as the Airborne division. We are praying to see if it is the Lord's will for him to join elite Army Ranger School. Keep him in your prayers as he is a strong, godly young man and we love him dearly.

UPDATE:  Ryan has returned from Iraq and is now stationed in Texas. Please pray for him as he has just undergone knee surgery from an injury in the field.

We hope you enjoy these snapshots taken when we visited him in Georgia at his graduation.
