  O, taste and see that the Lord is good…

If I know nothing else about God I know He is good.  His thoughts toward me are only good, His plans for me are only good.  When things don’t seem to be going well, when I am feeling lonely, depressed or overwhelmed there is one thing I can be absolutely certain of...God is good!  Take time to consider all the good things that God has done and is doing in your life and thank Him, for He is good.

 
 
We are happy to be able to be here in California for a month of refreshing and visiting with friends and family.  We were especially blessed to be able to see our son, Stephen, graduate last Thursday from San Marcos High School. Thank you for all your prayers in getting us here.
