Welcome to the twins! ...and fun number stuff.

Welcome ELEORA MERRY and EMBERLY PIPPA to our family.

Eleora 6lbs 2 oz

Emberly 4lbs 11oz

both girls were 18.5 inches long

The girls were born on 2-7-14 or as we're calling it "day of double blessing."

As many of you know, in the Hebrews looked at the number 7 as blessing and 14 was double.

• So, born in 2014.
• Born on 7th day.
• Born on 2-7 (2x7 = 14).
• Corrie gave birth during her 14th hour in the hospital.
• And, of course, we are now a family of "7"!

Feeling very blessed!

In the pics below: Adam in O.R. outfit... Emberly on daddy's shoulder... Eleora in N-ICU (we will post more pics when she is healthy and able to come home)... finally, mommy and Emberly.

Mommy and Emberly will be able to go home Monday (10th), but not sure on Eleaora.

Favorite books in the past few months...

Every once in awhile on here, I like to talk about books, CD's or whatever resources have inspired me.

Last year, I read a lot more than I usually do. I enjoyed many of the books I read and studied, but one stood out as not only a good read, but put together logically and could be a good resource for you or your small group to study.

THE GOSPEL in 10 WORDS is my 2013 recommendation.

Also, I am currently reading the follow up book THE GOSPEL in 20 QUESTIONS and really enjoying it. You can check out both books by Paul Ellis on Amazon.

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

We kicked off our Christmas series and celebrated Thanksgiving with baptisms this past weekend. Such an amazing thing to be part of 28 people making a public declaration of their death, burial and resurrection IN and WITH Jesus their Lord and Savior. Wow! Praise God for this amazing worship service.
