Sharing Christ's Love with International Students in North Texas
Yesterday was a good day. It started with me sleepily waking up to the great joy of my kids. C-6 was jumping up and down with excitement as I walked into the kitchen. I felt like I had won the NBA Championship or something. (Go Lakers!) There was genuine excitement as they were able to …
One of the fun parts of our ministry is that we take students to do things that we already like to do. I love basketball. I grew up a Lakers fan (still am) and kind of like the Mavericks too. Basketball has become a huge phenomenon around the world and going to a game is …

It was a wonderful time seeing them as we had many deep and insightful discussions about education, family, etc. It was really nice having family …

On Thursday I had the special privilege of taking my son T-8 to watch the Forth Worth Minor League team, the Cats for scouts night. We had general admission tickets and at first, I thought that was a bummer. I was wrong. We had a blast and because we had general admission, we had freedom …
In February C-5 celebrated her 5th birthday in the gym at Fielder Road Baptist Church. Here she is pictured with one of her good friends AXXXX. (C-5 is on the left.) We just signed C-5 up for kindergarten this fall. Please pray for her as she gets ready for that big transition.
