2007 - Year of Faith, Hope, & Reunions
2006-2007, without a doubt, has been the most emotional, faith trying, and challenging years of our lives. With our three sons, Hankie, Jackson, and Wes, serving with the Army National Guard in Iraq for 12 months, Hank and I have had to dig deep to remind ourselves that our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us, that He is in control, and that no matter what happens, families CAN be together forever. With the return of all three boys in August, an enormous weight of worry and stress has been lifted from our shoulders. We appreciate the faith and prayers offered in behalf of our boys as well as all of our service personnel in harm's way by hundreds of family and dear friends. We not only support our troops, we support freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all of God's children everywhere. These fundamental God-given rights are worth fighting ~~ and ~~ even dying for!
