Another Milestone

We are proud of our girls as they finish their high-school days.









This was no small accomplishment, coming into a high-school (10-12 grade) of 3000+ and graduating with honors.

Note the size of the graduating class-- over 600 kids!



It was a joyful occasion that their grandparents, uncle, neice, aunt, and nephew were able to attend.

Bragging a Little

Bethany and Danalee have both been accepted to Campbellsville University, a Baptist University in Ky, about 2 hours from here. They are counting down the days until graduation from high school.

This is a poem Danalee did for a school project. It was to be from the viewpoint of something in the story she read. See if you can figure out what is the inanimate object that is speaking.....

In His Eyes


There is something in his eyes when he stares

A sense of longing

To be with the woman whose faceis printed on me

Eyes of love and lust.


Sometimes I feel his rough dirty hands

Begin to sweat when he grips me real tight

Sometimes tears fall down his grimy face

Leaving a clean line on his cheek where it washed the dirt away.


I always wonder what is going on in his mind

When he pulls me out of his damp overused wallet

To stare for hours.

Or sometimes just for seconds.

Something in this man’s eyes has changed

From eyes of love to eyes of hate

He has trouble looking at me anymore

He holds me over a flame until I become dust.
