Hunting With My Son

On December 14th and 15th, Brayden and I joined another father and son at their ranch. Don and Cam were so kind to us and allowed me to take Brayden hog and deer hunting. Brayden, and another young man that joined us, shot a hog the first evening. Brayden shot a doe the following morning.

While hunting is a major component of trips such as this, it is actually not the most important part. You see, each time I am with my son hunting, I have the incredible privilege of being just that ... with him. We laugh together, talk together, learn together, and have fun together. Even the challenges we encounter are dealt with together (see the truck in the mud below). My son is a great hunter, but more importantly he is a great Christian, young man.

I want to thank our friends for sharing the blessing of this trip with us, and I thank God for my son and my entire family.

How Many Bears Does It Take To...

How many Bears does it take to get a truck out of the mud? Actually it takes two Baylor Bears, one Oklahoma State Cowboy, one University of Houston Cougar, and one Kubota tractor. (The tractor did most of the work.)

Hermanos De España

On Saturday, December 1, our friends from Spain and some of our friends from First Baptist Conroe joined us at our home. We had a great time together eating, talking, laughing, and singing.

In these photos you see people from Spain, Mexico, and the United States. It is so amazing to me that, because of Jesus Christ, we are family. Sometimes the language differences prevent us from completely understanding what each other is trying to say. But someday, in Heaven, God will take care of that, and we will know Him and each other completely!
