Muckboots n' Aprons: Adoption Day!

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

Adoption Day!

These two messed up people met about 22 years ago and stuck it out. After heartaches and much drama, decided to believe Jesus and became:

this wonderful family.(after about 20 years, lots of tears, and lots of mistakes and growth)

Please welcome Cameron James into our family. Our adoption was finalized June 14th!!!

This picture shows us with the same judge who has had Cj's case since he came into foster care. He is rare- he really cares. We were blessed to have our adoption completed in his courtroom instead of going downtown. This man sees all the depressing cases all day, so he loves to be part of the adoptions when possible.
