Father's Day
We all know what day it was today. It has been kind of an adjustment for Megan and I as we are getting used to being a blended family on her side. By God's grace we have a godly man in Larry that we can cherish the Lord together.
Tonight Sue (Megan's mom) provided a grand meal at her house for every one (Megan, Loren, Jaime, Emily, Abigail, Larry, Mason, Cheryl, Irene, and herself!). It is wonderful to watch God work His miracle one family gathering at a time. I could not help but think that the Lord has has loved us in an even more amazing way and include us in His family as adopted sons and daughters.
I came across this article from John Piper this weekend about our daddy in heaven. Its a good read and is only avaible for free until June 21st, 2006.

Also, today was the last mission's meeting with the stm (short term mission) team. I was struck by what one guy was quoted as saying about our faith:
"Men choose a religion but a Christian is chosen by Jesus Christ."
Think about that.

Amen to that quote! It isn't about our own calling to follow Christ, but his divine calling on US!! "For those He foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called, those he called, he also justified, those he justified, he also glorified!" Romans 8:29-30
