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."

MoJo and her "mentor"
This Memorial day we had the boys with us so took Qatar to the cemetery to play with the Austin High band for the service there to honor the veterans. It was a nice ceremony with lots of flags, speeches, wreath presentations and prayers for the honored dead. Later in the day we went to Vanessa and Eric's for a picnic and there we saw the new puppy Mo Jo, caught this picture just as we were getting ready to leave!
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!
