It's by the Grace of God Hunter Man

Happy 27th Birthday Hunter Man...................A counselor once told me when she gets to heaven, she wants to ask the Lord, " Lord, why do you let your children have children?" I get that!

Twenty-seven years ago, I was 24 and dad was 27 years old. Oh son, did you ever clearly understand how screwed up your parents were when we had you? UNBELIEVABLE! It's by the Grace of God that you are not still drooling all of yourself and others.

If you've ever wondered about God's workmanship, just look over your shoulder at your parents. We are thankful that God could see down the corridors of time and saved us from ourselves and gave us you. Why am I thinking of that movie, "Dumb and Dumber". LOL....

No seriously, I think every mother wants to have a son. I most definitely didn't deserve you, that's for sure. You had such innocence, surely I would stain you, and I did! BUT GOD, was in our midst the whole time and filled the pot holes that I created to make a wonderful you. I wouldn't change a thing about you. You are one of the funniest people in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. You can make me laugh like no other. You're openness and honesty would curl the toes of those reading this, because they don't know you. But, for some reason, I can understand you. LOL. It's a good thing, huh. I better not share any of our conversations, people would swear we didn't have any sense.

You are an amazing husband, from my side of the tracks, anyhow. (Amy has final say) You are closed mouthed and people would be so lucky to share there deep dark secrets with you because of your loyalty.

You still have that stinking look that melts my heart. If I'm upset with you, all you have to do is look at me and I'm butter in your hand. ( I hope your wife isn't ready to throw up) But, it's true. I just can't help it, I'm head over heals in love with you.

Happy 27th birthday Hunter Man. Remember, God is ever present, He is real and he wants all of you!

~ Love, Mom

Jesus, Lover Of My Soul - Darlene Zschech




There's a price to pay when you're in business for yourself. It has nothing to do with being grateful for what one has, it's just reality. I LOVE my little restaurant/ice cream store and might I remind you "little" it is...But, as for the workload, there's plenty of non-stop chaos. Just like this week, the gates of heaven unloaded on Kookys and we were blessed beyond measure. Thankfully, appreciatively and out of an exhausted mouth, I say, "thank you Lord".

All that to say with the constantness (like that word) of my life, my soul longs for the Lord. A constant tugging for "MORE" Jesus. At times weary bones can only take care of the necessities in life, which leaves spiritual starvation. Even though you spiritually eat, it's sometimes NOT enough, not enough down time to sink in...I think it's called "Spiritual Indigestion". It would be nice to slow down enough to enjoy more of what I know is true.

I thought I'd share this old worship song that I found on youtube..


It's spiritually delicious
