Thanks Dan. The children are precious.
I wanted to ask you, and anyone else who reads this, to pray for the wife and I. We have been trying for over 5 years to conceive, but the Lord has yet to remember us. We will continue to cry out to Him.
We are both committed to preaching open-air for the rest of our lives, and actually are in the process of fulfilling the admonition of the Lord Jesus to the rich young ruler:
Matt 19:21 - If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Mark 10:21 - One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Luke 18:22 - Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
I believe this is a good word for all of us as well:
Luk 12:32-34 says: Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Stay separate from the world. It has so many distractions. Our main focus should be souls, and truly bringing the gospel to them. I want to live for Christ and keep His commandments, and to see people genuinely born again.
Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. If the birth of a child is so moving for us, think how the Father reacts when one lost soul is truly born again! What joy!
I felt I needed to share that with you.
Thanks, and keep plowing.

Amen, Bob! Your wife is also OA? AWESOME! And yes... souls are the most important; not because we can preach at them, or to them or for them, but because Jesus loves them.
Praise the Lord, brother!

Thanks again for the video, and the encouragement. Who knows, maybe one day we will make it to Canada.....well, maybe you can come to Florida?
