Fingerpint of God

I tell you what, raising kids is the hardest thing to do. My oldest daughter graduated from high school in 2007, and she didn't stay at home very long. She had the world by the horns, she could do anything now, she is an ADULT now.

Well it wasn't to long and she was back at home, no job, no money, and PREGNANT!!!

I tell you I was mad, very mad, but over time I excepted it and continue to love her.

Well on May 26th, I saw the fingerprint of God, my Grand daughter was born, her name is Hailie Grace.

Now think about it Grace what a interesting word/name, here is what Webster says Grace is:

–noun
1. elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action.
2. a pleasing or attractive quality or endowment.
3. favor or good will.
4. a manifestation of favor, esp. by a superior: It was only through the dean's
grace that I wasn't expelled from school.
5. mercy; clemency; pardon: an act of grace.
6. favor shown in granting a delay or temporary immunity.
7. an allowance of time after a debt or bill has become payable granted to the debtor
before suit can be brought against him or her or a penalty applied: The life insurance
premium is due today, but we have 31 days' grace before the policy lapses.
Compare grace period.

It was interesting that they even have a Theology definition:

8. Theology.
a. the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.
b. the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.
c. a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces.
d. Also called state of grace. the condition of being in God's favor or one of the elect.

Now here is my "prodigal daughter", and she has a baby and Hailie's middle name Grace, "the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God."

Here is a girl that went and sinned and came home with a precious gift from God. I love my daughter very much and am so proud that she gave me such a beautiful grand daughter. You can see pictures below. Keep checking back, I will post more, because my wife and I get to baby sit tonight and I sure we be taking pictures tonight.



Fingerprint Friday
There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

River Point Band

My church just started a new series on Easter Sunday called ROCKSTAR!!!
This is the River Point Band, they are so awesome. They played a melody of 11
rock songs to start the service, it was SICK!!!!!

3 Days Later

All I can say is WOW!!!!

Proud Daddy (Fingerprint of God)

I wanted to share where I have seen the fingerprint of God. That is in my daughters, they are dating guys that are not Christians, my one daughter started coming to church with us again, www.riverpointc.tv, and brought her boyfriend. They received a "welcome" bag, and in that bad was one of those rubber wrist bands with our church name and web site on it. Well he put it on and is wearing it, now this guy is like 26, and he was visiting his mom and showed her the wrist band and said, "See what I'm doing", and told her about the church. Yeah GOD!!!

My other daughter told her boyfriend that they were not evenly yoked. He said "What", and she told him that the bible says that they needed to be evenly yoked, and he said are you going to follow what a book says, and she said "yes", so she is really working on him, she is not giving up on him. Yeah GOD!!!

Please pray for these two guys and my daughters to keep God in control and to give them wisdom, and to listen to God.

Noah's Ark

This is pretty cool!!



Awesome Replica of Noah's Ark
Man builds working replica of Noah's Ark(exact scale given in Bible) in Schagen, Netherlands



The massive central door in the side of Noah's Arkwas opened to the first crowd of curious townsfolk to behold the wonder. Of course, it's only a replica of the biblical Ark, built by Dutch creationist, Johan Huibers, as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.




The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house.

Life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animalsgreet visitors as they arrive in the main hold.




A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been.




Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son, Roy. Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered top - deck not quite ready in time for the opening - will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs, chickens, goats and one camel.

Visitors on the first day were stunned. 'It's past comprehension', said Mary Louise Starosciak, who happened to be bicycling by with her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over the local landscape.



'I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have been so big ' There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat film theater where kids can watch a video that tells the story of Noah and his ark. Huibers, a Christian man, said he hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands, where church-going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years.




Now that I am old and gray...give me the time to tell this new generation (and their children too) about all your mighty miracles.
