Romans 5:1-6

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.  And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."

Roger's 40th Birthday

September 7th, we celebrated Roger’s 40th. Wow, time flies. He hasn’t decided if it is better to be gray or to pull the grays out and be bald. Well what do you get him? Good question. We decided to take him on a surprise outing! We packed a lunch and drove down to the San Diego harbor. We arrived at Harbor Yacht Club where we had a 31-foot sailboat and skipper waiting. He has always wanted to go sailing and now it was just the skipper and the six of us. Our skipper’s name was Fred and he was awesome. He loved the kids and taught us a thing of two about sailing. Rog and I even got to steer out into the ocean. It was a beautiful day. We saw sea lions, a school of dolphin and gorgeous scenery. Roger enjoyed his day and was definitely surprised.
