Joy!

Cindi and I are godparents to three precious children. Today I found out that ONE of them: Johanna Maria Braun, will be visiting us next week. Yeah! It will be a joy to see her and to see her daddy [bishop of Mt. Hulda], mommy [artist extraordinaire], and siblings too. Know, dear Johanna Maria (and also Lindsey Linea and Nathanael James) that we pray for you each day, that God would grant you "mercy, life, peace, health, salvation and visitation, pardon and remission of all your sins; that you may ever bless and praise His holy name." Can't wait to give Johanna a good squuzing! [Kirk & Lori, David and Melanie, I am WAITING!!!!]
