True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

Paige is Now a Member of The Missouri Bar
Sunday after Church we drove to Kansas City to pick up Paige and drive to Jefferson City MO the state capital. We arrived a little after 10 PM and 523 miles. I love the great gas mileage our Park Avenue gets. We didn't have to buy gas until Monday. How many economy cars can get over 32 MPG.
Paige had to check in at the state capital at 7:45 AM. We stayed just three blocks from the capital so we could walk which worked out really well. She then took an oath and was admitted to the Missouri Bar by the Missouri Supreme Court at 10 AM. There was then a nice reception for all the new lawyers and their families before the next swearing in to the western division of the Federal Courts in Missouri which was held at 11 AM.
At both swearing in ceremonies the judges took the opportunity to counsel the new lawyers on their behavior. One judge commented about all the lawyer jokes and cautioned them not to be a reason for the jokes. They were both good to attend.
We then headed back to Kansas City where we had lunch/dinner before heading home arriving just after 10 PM - a very quick trip as we are now trying to get ready to leave for the Winter.
The begining of our happiness - front row: Paige, Heidi, Lisa, Amanda, Kristi; back row: Randy, Rick, Eileen, Steven. We started with 7 children and have now added 6 spouses and 25 grandchildren - the Joy and Happiness just multiplies!
