After much prayer and discussion we have decided that it is time to adopt. We have passed the preliminary stages of the adoption process and are beginning the next step.
We are hoping to adopt a little boy of any racial background. We are praying that the Lord will go before us and prepare the heart of the birthmother. It is our greatest desire that she come to know the Lord through this process.
Please pray with us as we are trusting God to help us with the finances involved in this process. If you would like to financially assist us you can make a secure donation through Chipin!
The girls are all thrilled and are already praying for and anticipating the arrival of their baby brother.

Crossroads of the Marine Corps
Paul has been assigned to The Basic School at Camp Barrett, Quantico. This is the school that all Marine officer’s must attend and pass in order to become an officer in the Marine Corps. It is the only school of it’s kind in all the military branches. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basic_School for more information.
Recently during a Bible Study we learned how Biblical Israel was at the crossroads of the world. Their job was to flavor the world as it passed through their gates. This really touched our hearts as Quantico is known as the Crossroads of the Marine Corps. Every future officer, must pass through these gates on their way to leadership. We see this as an opportunity to flavor the next generation of leaders, with a taste for Christ. Please pray for us as we minister in this unique and historic setting.

The New Year finds us settled and happy in Quantico, VA. We left Ingleside, TX in June 2009 and took a week to drive to Virginia. We took time to drive the Natchez Trace and stop at some significant Civil War sites. After a wonderful road trip vacation, we were able to move right into our home here on base and so out transition was much easier than the last. Once we arrived in Quantico our life took off at such a fast pace. So, I must ask you all to forgive me for not updating you sooner.
