Hope that everyone is doing okay! Man has this month flown by. My girl is graduating in less than one month, I can't believe it. Prom's coming up this weekend, I hope everyone has a safe night. Mrs. Suzie and I have to do the After Prom event. I'm thinking of doing the Secret Service look. Yeah, like Holly would let me do that. Volleyball tryouts come up for Heather on May 26th. Holly graduates May 20th. May is real busy because of the chamber choir at Siegel has there musical. This year it's West Side Story. should be good. The musical begins next Thursday and runs through the next Tueasday. 

Remember in your daily walk through life that you are here for one reason; to glorify God in all that you do. Remember when you do things someone is always watching.

Go with God!

Please pray for the family of Lori Jett Rountree and her daughter. I knew her in college and her husband was one of my best friends in high school and jr. college. He and I roomed together at TTU for a quarter and the he moved to MTSU. He was in my wedding. Don't know what happened to him.

I know it's been a few days since I posted. Life's busy. Two weeks ago we buried Ms Suzie's aunt. It was a rough time. This past Sunday we buried her boss of 23 years. Many of you know some of his family. It's been a tough couple of weeks on her. Her boss was a good man and has an awesome family. That's two, I'm worried about who number 3 will be. Please pray for these two families in their time of loss. I have been trying to find a picture for one of Holly's senior videos and came across pictures of my Mom. In just under two months, it will be 24 years since we buried her. She was an awesome  Christian woman!  I wish I could be more like her. What inner strength and peace she had. I find it hard to believe that she's been gone so long.

I hope all your families were protected from the storms we've had this week. Man, have they been rough or what!

NBYG guys, sorry I didn't show up at the retreat, needed a Saturday at home. Too much volleyball and other things. Hope the retreat is/ was great. NBYG you're an awesome group! Thanks for your hard work with Make-A-Wish!

Go With God!

This past Wednesday, my wife's aunt passed away. Over the last ten years or so, I had gotten to know her better. In January of this year she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, stage 3. Seeing her suffer these past few weeks brought back a lot of memories about my mother and her struggles with cancer. I haven't slept well and have dreamed of my mother several times. I know that both my mother and my wife's aunt are better off not suffering. They are in God's hands now. I only say this because I know my mother never once cursed God for her pain and she was a strong Christian woman. I know that my wife's aunt was a good lady. During the last couple of weeks I have had an extremely short fuse with the girls.For this I am sorry. God tells us in 1 Peter 5:10 " After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, Who has called to you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen and settle you.

Prayer thought: My Master and my God, forgive me for always wanting the easy life. I admit that I don't want to suffer, and I don't like it when things go wrong. But I ask You to help me have a good attitude and to trust You to bring good out of it. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Mom I miss you, 24 years later, as much as I did the day you died. I am just thankful we will get to see each other one day.

Mr V

I believe in my heart that there are many times we feel lost or not worthy to be called a Christian. There are times I feel really low and then something happens to remind me that I have a God that is forgiving and understanding. He realizes that we are human and will fail Him. So what did He do? He sent Jesus to take our sins to the cross with Him. Isn't that amazing! Here's a prayer to help you: Precious Holy Spirit, teach me to understand that the weapons of our warfare are spiritual and that we can win against every attack of the devil. In Christ's name, Amen. This is taken from a book titled "Battlefield of the Mind"by Joyce Meyer.

Go With God!

Mr V

Stand up for what you believe. Tell the world about God.

Me, I'm doing great and I mean great. I have a great family, a great job but most importantly I have GREAT GOD! All things good come from God. My life does not mean much if I don't serve Him. Remember to love Him and obey His commands at all times.

Love you NBYG!

Mr V
