Missing my beloved wife + son
The house is quiet tonight. Just returned from teaching our Foundations class. Kari and Dutch are not here with me, as they hopped on a plane this morning bound of Salt Lake City to visit her brother and his family.
Kari took this picture of Dutch with her phone…
Kari started her one-year no-new-clothes fast today (read about her LiveDifferent challenge #1).
Truly, I married up (!), and miss Kari already. As much fun as Dutch is and as much as I love Him, I could not live without my Karina.
I think it was J.C. Ryle who wrote: “The great thing I always desired to find was a woman who was a Christian, who was a real lady, and who was not a fool. Whether I was successful or not, others must judge the better than I can, but I call God to witness these were the three points I always kept steadily in view.”
Before dropping her off at PDX I asked her to send me lots o’ pics, so I could at least "see" how they were. A whole bunch were waiting in my inbox tonight when I arrived home. Uncle Kris taught Dutch how to throw rocks, our precious boy giving cousin Jennika a kiss on the cheek, then giving her a little frightening, and then one of his beautiful blue eyes.
May God be the glory for all His mercy in our lives and the abundant ways He lavishes us with His love, in practical evidences of His grace.

I miss you so much, Daddy! I’m learning new wrestling moves so I can take you down when I get home! I love you Daddy.

Oh how I miss you my wonderful husband! I am the most blessed wife of all wives! You are so wonderful. I respect and admire and love you so much. We’re having a great time and can’t wait to be back in your arms Friday!
