"Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

visiting...

My Aunt Joy is a wonderful cook and excellent hostess...after spending the evening with Aunt Joy and Uncle Jim I just had to have this photo taken with them...
Sushi! and family...here is my nephew Taylor and his dad (my brother) Jim...
Nephew Elliot (brother Paul's son) is 17 and Taylor is 16...
...ah...the teen years...
Elliot has this way cool bike with no brakes! uh...how do you stop? hmmm...by peddling backwards? or something like that...all I know is it takes a ton of stamina...maybe that's why he is so skinny?
In 2005 I met Ruth on a plane headed to Shreveport via Dallas...then her kids were 1 and 3...now they are 5 and 7...oh my!
Alyson modeling the gifts I brought from Africa...
...Shane appreciating his gifts...(mom, Ruth, in the background)
...and of course I had to get a photo of them with me!
...getting clever with the bracelets - I loved watching her enjoying what I brought...
...saying 'goodbye' was hard to do...but the visit was awesome and wonderful...this is truly a sweet family and God blessed me so much when He sat us next to each other those years ago!
