Happy Fourth of July
I can't believe how fast this summer is going! Especially since next Tuesday is the Fourth. Each day I am reminded how lucky I am to live in America. What a great country it is. It is important as christians to pray for our president and his cabinet and the people in congress. They are our leaders and no matter if we agree with them or not we need to pray for them because they are making the decisions for our country.
Our country is in a different state right now. I remember when I was in high school and there was not a threat like today of terroists. We are definitely getting down to the end times. All around us it is getting worse every day. But, how we can rejoice because the Bible talks about these things to come about. That is my thought for today since we are coming up on the Fourth of July.

On Sunday, mom and I went down to Atlanta to Northpoint Church. That is where Andy Stanley is pastor. It is a great church full of life and young families. We went down because my cousin spoke on Sunday for Father's day. She talked about her dad and her relationship with him. Her parents were divorced and her mom(my aunt) got remarried. But, her dad was never there for her after that divorce. She talked about how she remembered her dad leaving and how she didn't understand why he left. Through the years she would go and see him and try to make the effort to communicate and to show love, but he never did. He has passed away now but she ended her talk with how things got resolved before he died. There was not a dry eye in the place.
It was very funny and moving all at the same time. She did a great job and I hope it spoke to many people. It was hard to listen to without crying because I knew her dad and knew all the pain she went through too.
Speaking of Father's day I am very thankful for my dad. To many of you he is a man that you see every week debating people and bringing forth the truth about Christ. To me he is the best father anyone could have. We are very close and I don't know what I would do without him. He has taught me so much in life and is such a role model for me and what I want in the man I will marry. To me he is just dad.

Well, here it is Friday again. It seems that the weeks go by fast. When I was in school people told me that it would go by fast when I graduated. I didn't believe them but now I do! That is why it is important to make each day count.
This week has been relatively slower than usual. That is good to have every once in awhile to get caught up on things. Very soon we will be getting ready to send out our monthly newsletter. I thought I would tell you a little on how that operates. We do all our letters in house. Usually we have a 4 page letter that is front and back. My job is to print it and we have the letter broken down into 7 jobs. Once it is has printed off of our copiers the next task is to fold all the letters. We have a big folding machine that does that job. It is so loud that I have to wear earplugs and it is in a room by itself. Once that is done, there are about three of us that stuff all the letters by hand. This is all done in about a space of a week or so. That is including everything else we do like ship orders out and answer the phone and attend meetings etc. After the letters are stuffed we have to put postage on everything and take it to the Post Office. There are always times that some of the machines break down and you always pray that everything will go smooth.
Well, hopefully that was not boring to read. I wanted to let you know how some things operate at the John Ankerberg Show.

It has been awhile since I have written because our family was on vacation last week. We went to the beach and it was so beautiful. I think I could have spent another week. My cousins came down for about two days which was nice. So, now it is getting back in the swing of things.
Every time I go to the beach I am reminded of God's beauty and how really magnificent the ocean is. I am sure that many of you like me like to watch people. It was so funny to see parents building sand castles and the kids would just watch them. I also saw many families that would come for the whole day and they came with coolers and rafts and blankets and anything else you can imagine.
That leads me into what we are doing next on the program. We are going to be doing a series on why do you believe what you believe and where is the evidence that shows who Jesus really is? My dad did a series of sermons on this topic and I think it is very important material. It's material that you can use in your sunday school class or in a bible study. So many people need to hear this materials because the churches are not teaching this kind of thing and they should be. We as adults need this materials to explain to our kids. I looked at all the kids last week and I kow many of them are lost and will be if they do not hear the gospel.
