Reasonable Resilience

What a little Steinke you were, looking a lot like your Opa on your birth day And Grandma was there to hold you just like she was for Micah two years later When you turned 1 you were a happy boy at Duck Lake in Mommys lap. And now you're 2! And still Mommys happy boy. We love you sweet boy and look forward to everyday you grow and challenge us to think like Noah would.

Noah was a little hesitant at first, but wanted to see the "bay bee" Oh, I can touch him too? I think I kinda like this kid...and my Grandma Grace never wanted to give him back. So, welcome to the world little Micah Giger, we can't wait to see how you grow and learn. We love you!!

this is the kind of stuff I like, how bout you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmjPrdTNxQ0

Here it is, the long awaited video from the arrival of our new "BIG" bed. I noticed that I'm breathing pretty hard in the video, it's because I was fighting a cold, not because I have that hard of a time walking up the stairs. Although Eric and Ben show signs of fatigue too, but they actually did the work... so here you go, I hope it makes you laugh a little.

why is it that when things seem to be going good it always seems to go bad, quick. Say a little prayer for our friend from church. He's in Erics youth group and he's got some issues to work through, so does his mom. He's taken some wrong paths, but always ends up back at church, which is a good thing. It kind of seems now like mom and step-dad have given up on him and want Eric to do the work that is really their responsibility and can only be handled by a parent. Granted, parents can ask for help, but don't shove the kid off at church and expect it to work itself out. Also pray for Eric, for the spirit to work through him and show this family how important their son is and how much he is loved. thanks

"twice as good" by Sara Groves when I am down and need to cry till morning I know just where I am going when I'm in need of sweet commiseration to speak out loud raise a glass to friendship and to knowing you don't have to go alone we'll raise our hearts to share each others burdens on this road every burden I have carried every joy it's understood life with you is half as hard and twice as good with my good news your dancing on the table babies born to celebration the joy of life oh what a sweet communion shared with you every burden I have carried every joy it's understood life with you is half as hard and twice as good I know we're growing older can you imagine what that will bring it's all a mystery to me now but this one thing will be half as hard, and twice as good

When The Rain Comes - Third Da... "When The Rain Comes" When the rain comes it seems that everyone has gone away When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't find someplace To run and hide Escape the pain But hiding's such a lonely thing to do I can't stop the rain From falling down on you again I can't stop the rain But I will hold you 'til it goes away When the rain comes you blame it on the things that you have done When the storm fades you know that rain must fall on everyone Rest awhile it'll be alright No one loves you like I do When the rain comes I will hold you
