Milestones

This weekend we celebrate Margaret with her grandparents.

We keep our "high school" celebrations quiet, just immediate family, as our whole school experience up until now has been, well, private.

Yet it is an accomplishment, and I couldn't be happier. Allow me to "crow" a little.

My eldest son was awarded a 4 year complete scholarship to a private liberal arts school here in Minnesota. My second son has maintained top grades at the University of Minnesota since he began there.

Margaret has been awarded top scholastic awards at the local community college, and has maintained a top GPA for her entire time there. She is graduating with two years of college under her belt, and will have only two more to complete her B.A. or B.S..

We are so happy, and thankful for how God has blessed them all. Home schooling is really wonderful.

And we are thankful for the two daughters-in-law that will soon be joining the family. Both are finished with college, and they are wonderful.

We'll be celebrating one wedding in August, and one in January.

Military life has its challenges, but it is rewarding and exciting. There is nothing else like it.

Quite frankly I couldn't face it except as a Christian Believer. The uncertainties are too great. Yet, it is a necessary part of our culture, to maintain a strong presence of order. If all goes well in a few years our soldier sons will be finished with active duty and on to other rewarding things.

For now they have a year of college left.

And I just can't help but believe Jesus' return will play a role in our lives before long. I just can't help it!

Look around the world. Look at the GMO poisoning we are experiencing! Look at the skies and how different they are becoming! Look at our government and how it lies to us. Look at the world and see the suffering. Can anyone figure out the economy? (Check out Wilfred Hahn, he's very helpful)  Look at our own lives, and see those who are suffering around us!

Look at how Satan wants to win this war he knows he is going to lose. Look at how he is trying to re-establish his known presence in our world today. Those who don't believe in him will soon see that he is real, or they'll start believing another of his lies: spiritual deception.

We are all soldiers. We are on the winning side, but there is a battle raging, and it's going to get pretty intense.
