We are going to have a girl! Watching the ultrasound was a mazing! We got to see her heart beat and her ears, and teeth, arms and legs. You can click on the picture to see additional pictures. She seamed to like being on camera. She is healthy and very active. I decided to save my daughter some embarrassment in the future, so I did not include the picture the revealed her gender :-)

Book Review: End of the Spear by Steve Saint

This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I highly recommend reading this book. Steve Saint tell the miraculously story his relationships with the Waodani people in the rain forest of Ecuador.

Book Description (from Book Cover)
Steve Saint was five years old when his father, missionary pilot Nate Saint, was speared to death by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe. In adulthood, Steve, having left Ecuador for a successful business career in the United States, never imagined making the jungle his home again. But when that same tribe asks him to help them, Steve, his wife, and their teenage children move back to the jungle. There, Steve learns long-buried secrets about his father's murder, confronts difficult choices, and finds himself caught between two worlds. Soon to be a major motion picture (January 2006), End of the Spear brilliantly chronicles the continuing story that first captured the world's attention in the bestselling book, Through Gates of Splendor.

QuizzingGame

I received a very nice email complement today for an Awana QuizzingGame user.

"we love your cd -rom

our boys took first place in T&T quizzing last year largely thanks to their loving parent coaches and your cd-rom.

God Bless"

The QuizzingGame was a game I wrote in VB6 while I was in high school during study hall. The game is a study aid for Awana kids to help them study for Awana Bible Quizzing. I started selling the game with my friend Brian in college.

Awana Updates

Our Awana Missionary Tim Welcher visited our Awana Club. We kept him very busy with Council time for Sparks, T&T, Cubbies and Treck. He used rope tricks to present the gospel in a way that captivated the attention of most of the kids. We also took him out to dinner at Panera Bread. We had excellent conversations about motivation kids to memorizing verses. One of the thrills of eating out with Tim is not wondering if he will share the gospel but when. Thank you Tim for your inspiration to all of us at Cornerstone. We pray that God will continue to bless your ministries.

Danielle was promoted to Sparks Director this week. I know that she will do a wonderful job.
