Dear Family and Friends, We took a break from our discipleship series a few weeks ago as we transitioned back home. We were in the midst of examining why we don’t always obey Jesus. As a refresher of our discussion, the reasons were categorized into three “C’s,” Complacency, Consequence and Confidence. Complacency means self-satisfaction. Consequence is the

Dear Family and Friends, We returned home this past week to be with our other two children. Our son David and daughter in law Amy renewed their wedding vows yesterday, their first year anniversary. It was a beautiful gathering as two families and close friends came together to celebrate and encourage the loving pair. Needless

Dear Family and Friends, After being away for almost three months, we are headed home. For the most part, LA is a nice place to live. The one thing that I noticed however (that I thankfully never noticed in Hawaii) is that people here feel perfectly okay with discarding their car trash in parking lots, and

Dear Family & Friends, I will be taking a break from our discipleship series as we prepare to return home next week. The name of today’s message is Short and Sweet which describes not only this message but our granddaughter too! Ellie-chan celebrated her one month birthday last week.

Dear Family and Friends, We begin with a recent conversation with my grandson: “Luke, did you know that in sixty years you are going to look like me?” “Papa, what will you look like in sixty years?… Will you be extinct?” (Luke is into dinosaurs.) Have you ever noticed that the closer we age towards

Dear Family and Friends, Before we move on to our next stage of life, let’s look at another facet of growth in our younger years – our social and emotional development. This area encompasses understanding our feelings and those of others, learning to control our feelings and behaviors, and learning to get along with our

Dear Family and Friends, What do you remember most from your grade school years? Remembering those years wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be but I came up with a few for myself. The first thing that came to mind was playground time followed closely by lunch time. Although the rest of my grade

Dear Family and Friends, We have been in Los Angeles for almost four weeks now. Adjusting to our temporary life here wasn’t hard at all. Adjusting to being around a young child all day and night was…a tad bit harder. Don’t get me wrong, we love our grandson. He is a joy and a blessing

Dear Family and Friends, I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. We attended the in-person (outdoor and very spaced out) service at our daughter’s church in Torrance. It was our first church service in over a year and it felt great. I actually paused during worship several times to stop myself from crying. The message was really good too.
