Joshua turns 1!

Hey everyone...I am ONE!  

Ok, now just give me a minute...I have seen a fork before....I will figure it out...

FORK?  Who needs a fork, I have got this!

Here's to the birthday boy!

Joshua made his way to my throne room today and took a cross off of the mercy seat!  MERCY indeed!  He was so proud of himself!  So right then and there, I had to say a little prayer for this little guy to always hang onto the cross!  May he never let go.....Hang on tight, buddy!

THE SHERWOOD MEN AND THEIR TOYS!

THIS WEEKEND WE HAD THE CHANGING OF THE KEYS.  PHILIP GOT ONE TO OLD BLUE AND HEADED OFF TO JUPITER.  THE TORCH WAS PASSED.  PHILIP, MAY YOU DRIVE IT WELL AND BE THE COOLEST DUDE ON THE BLOCK!  WE LOVE YA SON!...and Joe....you are definitely the coolest guy on our block!

65 Years to celebrate!

65 years for Glenn & Virginia Lyon!
I have known these two all my life, and I can tell you that what you see is what you get...They are the genuine deal!  Daddy is quiet...Mother not so much!....I have never known them any different.  You can probably tell who I take after.  I love to golf and have thought for years that in golfer's terms, that I am on the back 9...but these two are on the last two holes.  But these holes are going to be memorable....probably not to them, since neither can find their keys or their phone.  But we will remember.  We will remember how they made us feel, how much they invested in us, and how deeply they served the Lord!
