Band of Brothers 2009

The Band of Brothers marathon went well.  I think if we do it again next year we will start a little earlier, but other than that it was a lot of fun.  We started at 12:30pm and went until 12:00am watching the 10 part series known as Band of Brothers.  It is definitely a very intense series with great character development, action and drama.  We had a good turn out of: Dowker, Benedict, Elliot, Josh and myself, Bobby - O, Ben, the Mark's girls, Jeremy, Aimee and Bryan Scott.  We had good food, fellowship and got through the whole series in one sitting.  Thank you to Kevin Dowker for hosting this event.  We hope everyone had as much fun as Josh and I did.

Oh To Be With Jesus

Marion Andrew Kearns July 7, 1929 - January 9, 2009.  My grandfather finally went home to be with Jesus this morning at 12:45am.  It was a time of tears, singing, sadness and celebration.  That seems like too many emotions to put into one sentence, but that is how it was.  He will be greatly missed, but we know that he is no longer suffering.  He was a wonderful grandfather, father and husband who loved Jesus.  To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  Oh to be with Jesus, my papaw now knows what that truly is like.
