<span style="font-family: Georgia;">For fourteen months (2011 - 2012) Colin, Jacob and Philip (Sometimes Sara) traveled all over the U.S., singing and evangelizing. The rest of the family stayed in Arizona, to care for Grandma Bunny. In June, Colin was asked to take a pastorate in Mountain View, AR. This was exciting and crazy at the same time. What would we do with Grandma? Well, that was an easy answer... We thought we had it all figured out. I had already made a commitment to her, so it was obvious what we had to do. Colin and the kids would move to Arkansas and I would stay with Grandma as long as she needed me. We sat the family down to talk to Grandma. We told her that Colin and the kids would be moving and I would stay with her... At first, nothing was said... Then she said, "I want to go too!" We all were speechless... That was the beginning of many miracles. We packed up and off to Arkansas we went....</span></div>

While looking at houses on-line I found several that I fell in love with, but of course, they were not in our price range. We prayed for God to show us the right one. The next day we phoned a Real Estate Agent and told him our story. He told us to come in, he had just the right house for us. God had our house waiting for us... He's so amazing!<br />

We are so blessed! I cannot thank the Lord enough for His many blessings. He supplies ALL of our needs. Not only did He give us a beautiful place to live, but a wonderful church family... They have welcomed us right into their fellowship. We LOVE this place and everyone here!<br />

In October, we drove to Montana to welcome grand baby #3, into this world. Titus Colin was born Oct. 26. Isn't he adorable?<br />

We celebrated our first Thanksgiving here... First Christmas... First New Year's... Even experienced our first tornado watch/warning... Jacob works at Iron Works, Philip works at the hospital and both boys received scholarships and plan to start college this Fall. Sara graduated High School... Megan and Tommy are finishing up the 9th and 5th grade... We got a horse... Colin and I are busier than we've ever been before and yet we are more relaxed than ever before. <br />
<br />
I know there are many, many other things that have happened but I couldn't tell all... God has blessed us beyond measure. We cannot thank Him enough for allowing us to be here, ALL together again. Looking forward to many great things happening in our little community.<br />

August 3, 1997 we had "Children's Day" in the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
park, in Colorado Springs. I was walking across</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the wet concrete floor, warning everyone of how</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
slick the floor was. No sooner did I get the warning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out, when my feet went right out from under me and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I landed right on my behind... The next morning I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
went into labor and Megan was born... :o)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here she is... A beautiful 15 year old</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
young lady... Having lunch at Panda Express.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On July 12, 2012 I flew to Little Rock, AR to join</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the family, attend Regional Convention and meet</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">new friends. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Convention was so refreshing. I met so many new</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">people and enjoyed the fellowship very much. The </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">messages were encouraging and I tried to just soak</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">in every minute of it. Of course, I loved to hear </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">my guys sing again.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Monday, the 16th, we headed to Mountain View, AR.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the way, we passed through Strawberry... Home</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">of Roger Bennett. He was a great piano player for</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the Cathedrals Quartet and I always enjoyed his</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">stories about Strawberry, AR. My smile here, is a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">nervous smile... The grasshoppers were very thick</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and they were jumping everywhere.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Onto Mountain View, we stayed with the James Dixon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">family and they allowed us to ride their horses. It has been</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">many years since riding a horse but it all came back to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">me when I jumped on. Of course we payed the price</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the next day... Very sore muscles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is Sand Man... A very fun horse to ride.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We had a great time visiting with the people in</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mountain View and we drove around town...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Walked down town, looked in some shops, ate</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">at the Soda Fountain and had a fantastic Coke, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">with AMAZING crushed ice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had a BBQ at the park (A surprise graduation</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">party for Philip). We met more Church people</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and had great food. We loved every minute of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">our stay in Mountain View. Thanks to everyone</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">who took care of us, while there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">July 19 was the day for me to fly home. The plan was</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">for me to fly home and the rest of the family would</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">head to AZ after dropping me off at the airport.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While getting ready to head to the airport Colin</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">says he has a very uneasy feeling about me flying</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">home alone, on this trip... The more he talked about</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">it, the more flurbed out I got so we drove on,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">not stopping at the airport in Little Rock and we</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">all drove together.... What a long drive! On the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">way home their were some pretty nasty storms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We made it back to AZ safe and sound, after driving</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">21 hours straight... I don't know how Colin does it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Tuesday, the 24th, I took the family down to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">our neighbor's house, Jack and Penny. Jack is a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">retired stunt man and was a double for the Lone Ranger.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He is so much fun to listen to... All of the shows he's</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">worked on, the people he's worked with... He even</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">brought out his Lone Ranger mask, hat, guns and holster</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">for us to try on... Those pictures are on FB.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a picture of Jack. This picture was taken</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">50 years after the Lone Ranger, right out here,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">in AZ... He looks great! He signed it for us...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He was so cute... He said he was the honored one,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">being in the presence of such talent... I gave them a CD</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a couple of months ago and they have really</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">enjoyed it...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok, it's been four weeks without the whole family.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The weeks are getting a little harder... I am now</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">counting down the days until I get to fly to AR...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could make more quilts but I already cleaned up</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the AZ room and put the sewing machine away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If it were my house I would leave it all out and keep</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">working... So, I did finish quilt #3 for the new boy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">coming in October. And I made the matching pillow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think it turned out pretty cute... Makes me feel like</span></div>

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took the Special K challenge for two weeks. I</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">didn't lose 2" off my waist as promised by the</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">advertising, but I have lost 4 lbs, so I can't complain.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been keeping busy with odd things here</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and there... I won't bore you with the details. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8 more days and I get to see the family! I</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">am very excited! I am also looking forward</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to meeting a plethora of people who are</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">anxious to meet the woman who belongs to</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">those crazy Shuler men.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Three weeks have now passed since the family went to AR.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have had to slow down because I may run out of things to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">do, and I have two more weeks to go.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided, with the extra material I had from the first</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">quilts, to make some pillows... I'm not sure I want</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to do that again... I didn't enjoy that too much, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but they're still cute...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started the third quilt for the new baby. It would</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">have been done a few days ago, but I made myself</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">walk away... I needed to leave myself something to do</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">next week.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Grandma had a few doctor's appointments this</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">week, so that helped make some days go by.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She had her yearly Alzhiemer check up...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She has donated her brain to the Research Institute</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">so they evaluate her every year. She is doing</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">remarkable for her age. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The normal weekly chores keep me somewhat</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">busy also... Although things don't get too messy</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">with just two people and a dog. Duke and I get</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">up and walk a mile every morning... He is</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">faithful (too faithful) to wake me up and we go.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I come home and have my coffee and we</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">start the day.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tommy celebrated his 11th birthday</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">this last week. I think he had a good</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">time. Sara made some pasta salad, </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">he loves that stuff... We all do. The Dixon's</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">are taking great care of them. They're</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">having fun!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, that's it for this last week. Next week</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm pretty sure I'll have pictures of the finished</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">third quilt.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two weeks from tonight I will be in AR.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, looking forward to seeing my family!</span></div>the shuler familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594951491565150084noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336367992700257475.post-47887006131410578692012-06-22T08:14:00.001-07:002012-06-22T08:14:45.868-07:00Week #2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another week has passed since the family has left and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm doing ok... The key is: To keep busy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last Saturday I finished the Clifford quilt and I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">was pretty proud of myself. It was so much fun</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">putting it all together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday I took Grandma to church, went to lunch</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and then I took her home and I went shopping for</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> some Elmo material for my next quilt project.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After finding the perfect material I went over to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">visit my in-laws and say "Happy Father's Day"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to my second dad. We had desert and played </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">some games.... Then I came home and worked on</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a press kit for the guys. By Monday I had demo CDs</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">burned and the fliers made and I was able to mail 11</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">kits out to the Phoenix area... Hopefully I will have</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">some bookings for the guys for the holidays.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the grocery shopping was done on Monday, it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">was time to start the Elmo quilt. I was so excited</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to get started and it was so cute seeing it come together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the happy feelings were tested on this project.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Elmo was not being cooperative and I experienced</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">another lesson in patience. I finally finished it Wednesday</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">night... It is far from perfect, but I don't think Zoe</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">will notice. If everyone else just looks from afar,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">it'll all be just fine. :o)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, here it is.....</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thursday was Grandma's yearly check up at</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the Alzheimer Research Institute. She has two</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">more appointments next week.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every morning Duke and I get up and walk a</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">mile... It feels good. I have lost 1 lb... Only</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">29 to go....</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The family is having a blast with the Dixon's.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And revivals have begun again for the guys.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They had a wonderful time at Youth Camp</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Their first Youth Camp).</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This last week the guys were in Paragould, AR</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and there were good reports from that revival.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since Sara, Megan and Tommy have been in Mountainview</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They have been riding horses... Another first for them.</span></div>

It has already been a week since the family left for Arkansas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's going well so far... I feel like I have been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pretty productive. Here's a short recap of my week...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cleaned and organized the garage, laundry room </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the Arizona room. Cleaned and reorganized</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all of the drawers in my room. Took items to Goodwill <br />
and the Recycling place. Packed up and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mailed last year's school supplies back to AZVA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Packed and mailed things to Colin that he forgot</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to take with him and mailed things that we brought </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
home from CA that belonged to Zoe and Max.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went shopping and bought birthday cards,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bought a couple things for myself (rare) and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't resist... I had to buy a couple outfits for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the grand kids. I also bathed the dog and gave him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a haircut... Isn't he cute? He has been my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
faithful companion.... </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spent a couple of days trying to write a song...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a disaster... I stink!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The most fun I have had is.... I dug out some</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
quilt blocks I had cut and started to sew together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
almost 10 years ago... Loree Brock had come</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to Colorado Springs and given the ladies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the Church a quilt class... I started a quilt, but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
never had time to do anything with it. SO, I sewed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the blocks together and here's what I have so far...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope to finish the quilt today or Monday and go</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
buy some more material for another one. I hope to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
get a lot of practice, then when the kids get home,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and school starts, the I'll help the girls make their own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My kids are too old for Clifford the Big Red Dog,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I guess this first quilt goes to the grand kids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, there you have it... One week down and four to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
go, before I see them all at convention...</div>the shuler familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594951491565150084noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336367992700257475.post-20295077747051830292012-06-10T19:23:00.000-07:002012-06-10T19:23:12.490-07:00Busy! Busy! Busy!The family has been gone for two whole days now and I'm doing fine... They had a safe trip to Arkansas and I'm sure the fun began as soon as they stepped into the Barker's house. They are going to have the best summer ever!<br />
<br />
I have been keeping very busy... It keeps my mind occupied. I have cleaned/organized the garage, cleaned out and rearranged the drawers in the bedroom, shopped for birthday gifts and groceries, packed up last year's school supplies and put them in the van (to be mailed tomorrow), washed the dog, and a few other things here and there... I have many other projects lined up for myself... Some alone time is not ALL bad... Although there is another person in this house that is not necessarily wanting alone time and she requires some attention once and a while... As long as I don't run out of projects I think I'll make it ok... It's all good!the shuler familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594951491565150084noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336367992700257475.post-28756537559671189052012-06-08T19:40:00.001-07:002012-06-08T19:41:49.391-07:00Happy Birthday Colin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today was a very sad day... A very strange birthday</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">for Colin (Happy Birthday Honey)... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of the kids and Colin loaded up in the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ole' Mini Van and headed to Arkansas. </span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This will be the kid's first "Youth" Camp... Also, it will</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">be their first Church Camp without their mother... Feels kind of</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">weird. I am so glad they have this opportunity, even </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">though it pulls at this momma's heart strings. They</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">are going to have SO much fun!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Colin will be doing some work with Bro. Dewayne Smith</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and hanging out at the Barker's until after camp.... Then revivals</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">begin again. I don't expect them back in AZ until</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the holidays... Don't get too worried... The Lord has</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">already provided a way for me to see them in July,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">at the Regional Convention, in Arkansas...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I'm trusting that he'll provide again, for another visit</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">some time after that.... The kids will be home by the</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are so thankful that God provided a way for the whole family to get together and have a little retreat together. With Paul and Grace living way up North and Colin and the guys traveling all over the USA and not seeing each other very often, we were ecstatic to be able to meet in CA for a much needed vacation. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We first met in Apple Valley, CA at the New Wine Studios, where Colin, Jacob and Philip recorded our next CD, which by the way, will be ready for purchase some time this summer :o). After a few days in the studio we went to San Diego, CA for fun in the sun (as if we don't get enough of that in AZ). We spent three days at Sea World, two days at the zoo and three days at the beach. What a great vacation!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just this morning, during our devotions, I prayed that God would help us to be a blessing to someone today. As I heard these words come out of my mouth, I thought, "Who else would I be a blessing too, other than Grandma... Since that's who we spend most of our time with"... So I hoped to be a blessing to her... But God had something else planned for me today. The Internet guy came by to take care of a cable that had come uncovered in our back yard. As we were talking about the cable, he looked at me and smiled. He said, "You're a Christian, aren't you?" I stopped and stared at him for a second... I had done or said nothing about God... Could he possibly see God on my countenance? I hope so! I smiled back and said, "Yes, I am!" We talked about the Lord for awhile. I gave him a copy of our CD and told him about our ministry. As I started to walk into the house he said, "Thank you Ma'am... I mean, Sister." When I walked into the house I remembered my prayer that I had just prayed a few hours earlier... Now, that may seem like a small thing to some, but I am SO blessed! I love it when God answers a prayer so different from what you were expecting. I just want to be a usable vessel. This is the best Monday ever!</span></div>the shuler familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594951491565150084noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336367992700257475.post-7343751095666624712012-02-23T07:07:00.002-08:002012-02-23T21:23:13.130-08:00Washington DC - Virginia Trip<div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">I could not even begin to express how blessed and thankful</div><br /><div align="center">the kids and I were to be able to take this trip. We boarded</div><br /><div align="center">Frontier Airlines on Feb. 14th and flew to Washington DC.</div><br /><div align="center">After a long flight, we arrived at Reagan National Airport</div><br /><div align="center">at 10:00pm. Sis. Connie Wilson and Sis. Johnna</div><br /><div align="center">picked us up and drove us to our motel room. Thank you</div><br /><div align="center">Johnna for finding a fantastic room for us. It was so nice</div><br /><div align="center">to see these beautiful ladies... Especially since they knew</div><br /><div align="center">their way to the motel. The next morning, Colin, Jacob,</div><br /><div align="center">Philip, Paul and Cathy Horton and Heather arrived at our</div><br /><div align="center">motel. My heart still skips a beat when I see my wonderful</div><br /><div align="center">husband. After all of the greetings we jumped into our vans</div><br /><div align="center">and headed out for a whirlwind tour of DC. We were limited</div><br /><div align="center">on time so the Smithsonian was not on our agenda.</div><br /><div align="center">We found some parking places right down town, which</div><br /><div align="center">was amazing, especially since we had two vehicles and</div><br /><div align="center">they were right close to each other... After parking, we started</div><br /><div align="center">walking. The park was FULL of geese. Paul tells Tommy, "I'll</div><br /><div align="center">give you five dollars if you can catch one of those geese." Off</div><br /><div align="center">he ran!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZkzTr3tXdg/T0ZvJ1LmRMI/AAAAAAAACIM/3JpEuRKbGEQ/s1600/DC-VA%2Btrip%2B2012%2B071.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712375392051283138" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZkzTr3tXdg/T0ZvJ1LmRMI/AAAAAAAACIM/3JpEuRKbGEQ/s320/DC-VA%2Btrip%2B2012%2B071.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bp_0hos1d2U/T0ZvIMzA7bI/AAAAAAAACIA/aHAmB2DmhfE/s1600/DC-VA%2Btrip%2B2012%2B072.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712375364030885298" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bp_0hos1d2U/T0ZvIMzA7bI/AAAAAAAACIA/aHAmB2DmhfE/s320/DC-VA%2Btrip%2B2012%2B072.JPG" /></a> He didn't catch one, but he had a nice run. On the way<br />back he said, "It's ok, I have money in my pocket." He's<br />so funny. So, we keep walking through the park. This is so<br />amazing! We are in the Nation's Capital... How cool is this?<br />It is a lot to take in...

We were blessed to be together, with the whole family, for a week in December. So thankful for every minute we had together. Grace and her family came December 14th and stayed for a week. We always love our time together with her, Paul and our grand babies. Colin and the boys were home from December 16 - January 24th. The time flew by, as usual, and the guys are back on the road and Paul and Grace are back in Havre. School is back in full swing and we are already looking forward to summer break.<br /><br />When the guys left here, they headed for Alabama. Men's retreat, revivals and singings will keep them busy for the next several months, through AL, VA, NC, GA, FL. We are so grateful that God has provided a way for Sara, Megan, Tommy and I to fly out east and spend a week with the guys. We will fly to Washington DC and meet them there for a day of sight seeing with our good friends, Paul and Cathy Horton, as our guides :o). Colin and I will attend the Couple's Retreat while the kids get to spend time with friends in VA. We are SO looking forward to this little vacation and time spent together. You never really realize how important family is until you are separated.<br /><br />The next four months the guys will be busy travelling the east and the rest of us will be here in AZ, with Grandma, who is doing pretty good for her age. Speaking of Grandma, she will be celebrating her 95th birthday next month... Stay tuned for pictures of that event.<br /><br />I will try to update every now and then on the reports of the revivals. But until then, enjoy some random pictures of the past couple of months...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Our little Burrito Boy, Max.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CQNA9XhClzs/TyrU4zI2TxI/AAAAAAAAB-k/UzS2K980lCU/s1600/P1060385.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

<br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">To start this story, I'd like to show you a fantastic picture of Megan, Tommy, Sara, Jacob and Philip... Aren't they a good looking group of young people?</span></div>
<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bPBgv8RMCzk/TlMtnuF3JfI/AAAAAAAABbc/NLZhRDC5exg/s1600/TX%2Band%2BGraduation%2B002.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643904918436128242" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bPBgv8RMCzk/TlMtnuF3JfI/AAAAAAAABbc/NLZhRDC5exg/s320/TX%2Band%2BGraduation%2B002.JPG" /></span></a>
<br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">We have started a new chapter in our Life Book and it's sure to be an adventure. April 15, 2011 was Colin's last day working for Home Depot. We finally took the step of faith to start evangelising. We have been feeling this work for several years but just never knew when the right time would be to begin. Now is the time. May 5 - 7, 2011 was the first revival, scheduled in Oklahoma City, OK. Colin, Jacob, Philip and Sara set out for OKC on May 2. Megan, Tommy and I stayed home to care for Grandma Bunny.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span>
<br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">The day before the revival began the "traveling" family attended the local service in OKC. During this meeting the whole Church gathered and prayed for the family.</span>
<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jvZLXpaSTQI/TlMtM91st5I/AAAAAAAABbU/XrGkcbsRkMQ/s1600/TX%2Band%2BGraduation%2B018.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643904458806835090" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jvZLXpaSTQI/TlMtM91st5I/AAAAAAAABbU/XrGkcbsRkMQ/s320/TX%2Band%2BGraduation%2B018.JPG" /></span></a>
<br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Colin, Jacob and Philip took turns preaching and they sang too. They had a wonderful time in the Lord... A great start for this new journey.

<br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">There were three saved and one filled with the Holy Ghost. Four were baptised in water.</span></div>

I am sorry I do not have pictures of this revival. They are somewhere but I didn't have them :-( Maybe I can locate them and put them up at a later date. God, again, did an amazing work during this revival. Two were saved, one of which was a homeless man that attended. The people in these two churches were such a blessing to me and I was not even there. To hear the reports of how they are actually putting action to their words and doing the Great Commission of going and preaching the gospel to all was SO exciting! I am so encouraged by seeing and hearing of the many miracles He is performing in these areas. One was sanctified and two were filled with the Holy Ghost, one of these received the Holy Ghost during morning devotions at the pastor's home. Very exciting! Six were baptised in water.</span></div>
<br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"></span></div>
<br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">After leaving Broken Arrow there was a stop, for lunch, with some great friends in OKC, OK. Some that did not get to attend the revival earlier.

But when I may get to wondering why I may be required to accomplish certain tasks I will remember this little story...</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="Courier New";font-family:";color:#CC0000;" ><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;mso-bidi-font-family:Vani;font-size:14.0pt;color:#CC0000;" >Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens.<br />'Great', she thought. 'Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.' She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there.<br /><br />She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she might find her contact lens. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the Bible verse 'The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth.'<br /><br />She thought, 'Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.'<br /><br />Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom</span></b><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;mso-bidi-Courier New"; font-family:";font-size:14.0pt;color:#CC0000;" > of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, 'Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?'<br /><br />Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!</span></b></p><br /><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:13.5pt;" ><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ytx90-EqEcw/Tc_kDCiQfZI/AAAAAAAABSo/bicnUupV_H4/s1600/ant%2Bwith%2Blens.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 206px; height: 156px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ytx90-EqEcw/Tc_kDCiQfZI/AAAAAAAABSo/bicnUupV_H4/s320/ant%2Bwith%2Blens.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606950801970855314" border="0" /></a></span><p class="MsoNormal"><br /><span style=" ;font-family:Verdana;font-size:13.5pt;" ></span></p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--><b><span style="font-family:Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-Courier New"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language: AR-SAfont-family:";font-size:14.0pt;color:#CC0000;" >The story doesn't end there.

Here And Gone<span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">Today was another busy day. I woke up at 5 something but didn't get out of bed until after 6:00. It just doesn't seem right to be up and around at 5am... Although I did hear Grandma shuffling around.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">I got up, started the coffee, put a load of laundry in the machine and took Duke out for his morning duties. I sat for awhile, watching the news and drinking my coffee. I woke the kids up at 7am and got them going... While they were eating their breakfast, I cut Grandma's hair... Then Tommy's hair. We did a little school, cleaned and washed and folded three loads of laundry, then I fixed some lunch and we ate... Grandma went to a luncheon at her church.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">After lunch I took the kids over to Papa and Grandma's house for the kids to Papa sit, since he is supposed to be taking it easy... A lot of good that did, the kids said he wouldn't let them help him. I came home (Grandma's) with Duke and I worked in a quiet house to organize our finance books. I also cleaned out and organized under the bathroom sink... Oh joy! Finding the school books was the next item of business. I found the boxes and unpacked them so I could pack them again... Doesn't make much sense, I know, but I just through them all in a box to get to Grandma's... Now I have to go through the check list and make sure everything is accounted for so I can mail them back to AZVA at the end of the year (May 20). I unpacked the boxes and started sorting them... About 3pm it was time to start dinner so I didn't run out of time. I cooked Salisbury Steak and put it in the crock pot to keep warm while I ran over to pick up the kids. Picked up the kids, came home and ate supper, while watching the service in OKC (via Skype). We are now officially members of the Church of God in OKC and the boys were set forth as Lay Ministers... Very exciting.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">The service ended, we cleaned up the kitchen, watched Wheel of Fortune and then I started to pack Jacob's school supplies, checking them off of the list as I went. One box down... Four to go.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">Now I am about to fall over, I am so tired. So for now, I must say goodnight.</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">Goodnight!</span>the shuler familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594951491565150084noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336367992700257475.post-52971582534168410752011-05-04T09:40:00.000-07:002011-05-04T21:06:06.118-07:00Departure Day<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Colin, Jacob, Philip and Sara left yesterday morning at 6:30 after a sleepless night. Problems with allergies, because of all of the dust that was being kicked up while moving stuff out of the house, and thoughts of the changes going on in our lives, made it difficult to sleep. They left and it was time to get to work, here on the home front. Megan, Tommy and I got dressed and headed to the hospital to be with Bonieta and Marcy, while Paul was in surgery. We are thanking God that He kept His hand on Paul during this procedure. He had to have his bladder scraped due to cancer. Thankful that everything went well.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">The kids and I left there at 11:30, when they allowed Paul to go home. We headed to the grocery store and bought Grandma's groceries and picked up some TV dinners for lunch. We then went to the house, ate lunch and started cleaning. We were able to completely empty out and clean the master bath, bedroom and Jacob's room. Three rooms down, six to go... Then garage sale.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Today I have washed three loads of laundry, cut Grandma's hair and Tommy's hair. Beds are made, kitchen is clean, Megan has done a Science lesson already. Now I must do some school with Tommy, clean Grandma's house all before lunch. Grandma has a luncheon today, so when she leaves I will take the kids to lunch and then drop them off at Papa Shuler's house... The kids are Papa sitting today, since he is unable to get up and around for the next week to ten days. They will stay with him and be his gophers... I will come back to Grandma's and start organizing stuff and get rid of some boxes. I will go back and pick the kids up and be back to Grandma's by 5pm so we can Skype with the OKC church and be a part or their service tonight... Tonight is a special night for us. Not only will our memberships be accepted (I hope) there, but they will be setting Jacob and Philip forth as Lay Ministers in the Church of God. Very exciting time. I am truly grateful for the calling on my kid's lives and their willingness to accept. God is good!</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Now I must get started on school with Tommy.</span>the shuler familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07594951491565150084noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336367992700257475.post-88983517623051425302011-03-27T21:51:00.000-07:002011-03-28T10:28:30.242-07:00Youth Convention 2011<div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;">We had a great time at Youth Convention.
