Daniel is 13!

You know you're in trouble when at age 13 your son goes through an elaborate bargaining process with you in order to have you buy a nice cell phone for him. One of the things he was willing to put on the table was a birthday party, but of course his mother wasn't going to let that happen! So he got both...his cell phone and a pretty nice b-day time.

Please help us pray for Daniel, as he lives in a world full of challenges and opportunities, but also temptations and distractions. Hard to believe we are now officially parents of a teenager.

We also continue to recover from the weekend. It was SO good in so many ways, but also mentally and physically exhausting! So much more to say about all of that...as I get time I'll try to do that in days ahead.
