So, if you have read the past posts you realize that it is a significant challenge for me to create time to create thought pictures via the computer for others to share.

Since the last blog I have become a blessed new 'old' dad again with the birth of an amazing baby girl with a full head of red hair and what appear still to be piercing blue eyes. Her name is Reese Lilyanna (pronounced lilleeonnu) and she is now six weeks old. All are well and both Megan and Destiney have birthday'd since the last blog, Desty is now 14 and Megan is ........ well, still much younger than me!! Jared has travelled to Turkey, Beth and Ella Claire are looking great as she is at 25 weeks, and Mamaw and Papaw Ownby (my amazing mom and dad) celebrated an incredible 50th wedding anniversary.

Jared preached at Pinnacle Bible Church that same Sunday as the anniversary party and Erin has been visiting with us at Pinnacle BC as well. For any who may offered prayers for us we give you many thanks and pray for God's richest blessings to flow to and overwhelm you.

Our focus in God's Word has led us to study John the Baptist and has taken us to a study of "Application of Divine Truth to My Life" and so we look to the scriptures with the guidance of the Divine Spirit to study the process of applying the word, the truth, the way, His Way; as we are seeking to become true disciples, {hearing, understanding, keeping, applying, sharing, thinking, holding onto, loving, panting for} the many commands of Jesus the Christ, God's Son, our Saviour. Our goal is to Ephesians 4:13 all Grow, and to John 15:7-10 Abide in his LOVE.

May you find your way to this place also, the place of growth unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, the place of abiding in his Amazing Grace and Engulfing Love.


Blessings to all, in Jesus Name!!! RevJeffO
