Well, today I am very excited because this week coming up we are going on vacation with our family! This is our annual beach trip! This year we have 12 people with a baby and two dogs that will be going! It will be a wild time!

I hope that you have been watching the series we are doing on Israel. This series has taken a long time to put together because there are so many graphics to go along with the material we are presenting. Many people think that my dad just gets on and talks every week but he is the writer, producer and everything else that comes along with putting a tv special together. I hope you will pray for him along with our staff. Everybody works so hard and long hours. No one has any idea how long things take and if computers don't work that puts you behind even more!

The next series we will be going to will be with Dr. Richard Land who use to be the head of the Southern Baptist convention and Dr. Erwin Lutzer who is pastor of Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, IL. They will be discussing issues with politics and christians and should we be involved and what side does God favor? Does he favor democrats or republicans? Should we as christians be involved with politics? They have some great insight into all of this. Those programs will start in June. So pray for those programs as they go out.

It is hard to believe that May is here. In our family May is a big month because not only do I have two cousins who have birthdays but my mom's birthday is this month also. I have to brag a little on my mom. She is a godly woman who is behind my dad 100%. I don't know what my dad would do without her. She carries so many jobs not just at work but she also takes care of her mother and her own family as well. I am very thankful for my mother and all she does. She will definitely be rewarded someday!

We are in the process of editing our newest program on Israel. Speaking of which ,today is the anniversary of the state of Israel. What a day that was for them 60 years ago. I hope you will tune into our program because no one else has the footage and the material that we do on the subject of Israel.

One last thing I want to comment on is how saddened I am to hear about the earthquake in China and the disasters that have happened in many places overseas and here in the US. It just goes to show that we are getting closer to the Lord's return. The Bible talks about earthquakes and disasters that will happen in the end times. I hope that you are ready like I am for the Lord's return! How exciting to know how close it could be!
