. . . and still GOD loves us!

no greater love can one ever feel than the gift from only ONE who gave it all so we can live abundantly. He loves us so very much. . . even when our 'mess' only has the painful beginnings of a message. Remember that with GOD nothing is ever wasted. His plan all along is to bring us all the way . . .not just to the place of pain and regret but all the way.

Jackson Emery Smith

So much has happened in this season...





Della, my wife, and I have something to celebrate...the birth of our first grandson. His name is Jackson Emery, born to Matt and Christy in Camarillo on the afternoon of 4th of July. He is so cute! But small...almost a month early.



This is Jackson sleeping on his gramma August 17th, a few days before his dedication to the Lord.

We are blessed to have this wonderful addition to our life and look forward to what God has in store for all of us through his life.
