i admire .....

great authors like c.s. lewis, a.w. tozer and oswald chambers whose works have affected so many people, even after their deaths.

laypeople like my mom and dad who use their gifts to build up the body, for "nothing" in return.

ministers like keith, clay, and lance, who put their walk with God first, then their families, and somehow still have time to lead the church......and for sports!

ministers wives like cynthia, shawna, bev, and christine who know how to support their husbands, love people, and probably should be on the church's payroll....and know how to make you laugh and have a good time.

shane barnard's mad guitar skills

missionaries who carry out the great commission day after day, in difficult places

youth in the Northwest and elsewhere that dont have Christian friends at school, but bring their friends to know Christ by the way they live their lives

doctors, lawyers,architects, etc, because they work so hard and seriously.....thats a lot of school!

teachers and coaches that really care about students, and look to make a difference in their lives.....and they do.

people like weslee who know how to just have a crazy fun time in life

my friends from crestview like wes, steph, and lolly who are seeking God's heart and pouring into others

collegiate athletes

my college friends that work and take a full load of classes....and are involved in ministry....and still have time to play with nerf guns and giant frisbees in the computer lab with me?

my brothers and sisters: the leader one and his faithful and always learning stuff wife who together refuse to settle for normal, the outgoing one, the writer, the stud athlete, and the tenderhearted one, and the funny boring one....o wait, thats me

young couples like m&r who really love each other and their families and want to make a difference......and do.

the apostle paul, nehemiah, ezekiel, daniel, priscilla & aquila, and peter......and a whole lot of others

evangelists like luther, moody, tyndale, spurgeon, edwards, graham.....who had a vision and changed the world

people who can speak multiple languages.........parlez vous francais?

people that take up the cross, and follow Him.....daily.

you got it right on freda. i only know two bev's and they both rock my face off, but i was indeed referring to YOUR bev, etc. and i must say, if i may, that you are the cooliest of the coolio. but why dont you ever email me back anymore???? c'mon be a pal. maybe i'm just not receiving them, did you get one from me entitled fredA awhile back? i havent received one from you in a loooong time.

fellow bloggers please ignore our private convo here, but do know that if you dont know freda, you are totally missing out. she rocks fo shizzle.

Well, I'm catching up on my blog reading (and you can see I haven't posted to LJ's in a week...I'll rectify that soon). I'm glad that RJ and I appear to love each other and that you are here to share in our loving family!
