We had an AWESOME trip in NSB during the holidays. It has truly become a family tradition. Our weather was perfect! The kids had such a good time at the pool and the beach. We started out in real style, Beeler style. We needed transportation big enough to take all of our stuff, Nana's walker, O2 machine and of course the suitcases. To accommodate, Victor surprised Nana with a ride big enough for everything! Check it our!

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
