About me: Hello. We started this profile for the teens at our church, and in the process have been able to keep in touch with friends old and new! We look forward to hearing from you. Check our blog as we will be posting questions, things to make you laugh, and weekly devotionals.
About us. We are nerds. We met in college at the campus ministry center. We have been married for almost ten years. We love God. We love each other. We love our family. Our kids are amazing! We love ministry. Our teens are amazing! Christianity is not easy for us and we are trying to figure it out with the help of relationships, prayer, service, and study. We struggle with impatience and selfishness. Each day we battle with our flesh. And yet, there is no other place we would rather be than in relationship with God. "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." John 1:29
