Surely this would be an unusual blog…its not really about accounting, business, or even taxes, although we like to blog about those things…it is about our life, and hopefully, by transparency and through humility, we can demonstrate with humour, insight and some wisdom on occasion, that God has entrusted to us an extraordinary life.
In that light, I want to share this picture of my family and our closest friends and all the children and grandchildren…The McNay Street Baptists….15 years out. This group now, 10 years later has three married grandsons and a few grandchildren. What will it look like in 10 more years? Life walks on…but today, we mourn! My mom, the lady in the picture with the red hair who is straightening out some misbehaving, has gone to be with her LORD! Her difficult journey with ALS over, we celebrate her exceptional life.
Thanks to all who have cared for me as I cared for mom and dad this last 18 months!
