Jered and Jodi and the twins are doing great! Jodi graduated from nursing school! We are so proud of her! She took her boards on June 6 and passed, so she is officially a nurse and is working at a hospital in Charlotte. Jered is still busy with construction and remodeling. He has a lot of work ... praise God! And you probably don't know that Jered and Jodi handle all of my resources ... and do a great job.

Lelia and Jaydan are loving going to "school" a couple of mornings. They are just cute beyond words! I cannot believe that they are almost five years old. AND the big news is that Jodi and Jered are expecting another baby at the end of May! We are so excited! Another precious grandbaby - and yes, there is only one.

Danna and Sam's boys continue to grow.

Justus is a great big brother and can't wait until Hudson gets bigger so he can play trains and show him how to make massive crashes with his hot wheel cars. We are so proud of Danna. She continues to amaze us at what an awesome mom she is. Right now, she is adjusting to two babies and doing a great job of it. Sam started a new job and is loving it!

Dan is busy at Westside. Be sure to check out our online service.

Dan and I are loving this season of life. Especially the grandkid part! But we also have the privilege of working beside some amazing servants of God who have wrapped their arms around us and chosen to love us - as Mama used to say - warts and all.

If you are ever in the Kansas City area, we would love to see you at Westside!

Mary is on a mission this year! God is calling me to "abide." I am not sure what that means exactly but I think that is the whole point. God has given me a new passion for writing. I am working on a new book along with the devotionals for Girlfriends in God. Our first devotional book, Trusting God, was released December 13 and we just turned in the manuscript for our second book, Knowing God by Name. Stay tuned for the release date! I will keep you posted.

I am very excited about my online Bible Study and am blown away by the response of so many women across the world. It's not too late to join so check it out!
