What's on our hearts lately...

The Gospel.
Nothing can change everything in your life quite like the grace of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ. That period at the end of that sentence is critical, for Jesus Himself said boldly, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" John 14:6 which sums up Acts 4:12 in "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
If you want to see the gospel in an even clearer section of Scripture, there may be no better description than what Paul provides in Romans 3:19-26, which comes right after chapters 1 and 2 of Romans in which it's clear that all mankind from birth are guilty as sinful people before God's holiness and therefore are without excuse in regards to His commands. And thus the only hope for any of us, is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. To do as Christ first commanded in Mark 1:15 and "to repent and believe in the gospel" which is to repent of our sins and self-focused life and to trust in Christ by faith, only then will God see all our sins as being imputed to Christ on the Cross and His righteousness as imputed to us, so now when God sees us, He sees us as having lived the life of Christ! 2 Cor. 5:21, "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
What grace.... what mercy!

And just last weekend...






So here's final of this onslaught of new info and pics from our first 5 weeks here...
In these pictures you'll see Keenan playing with his cousin Annabelle on her 2nd birthday, once at Grandma's house and then later on at her party attacking a Pinyata under beautiful 70 degree weather!
Also there are some fun pics of Keenan practicing golf with Pappa out in the yard, this time after another beautiful 80 degree day... who knew MN would be better than SD right now... but it is May-gray time down there so....
Ok, love you all, going to bed now.
