Ask and Ye shall recieve, Knock and it shall be opened unto You.

Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour is all powerful, all wise, and Loves us more than we can ever comprehend in this mortal life.

I love this picture as it portrays a quality that I think many people fail to ever realize he gave to us which means he has it too. It's a sense of Humor and a love of Joy.

Christ Lives you guys! and He is keenly aware of our lives, our needs, and our true desires.

He loves you, and I love you.

For more understanding on this read my other Blog entry for today. Hope you enjoy!

No, I didn't Forget Saturday's Post!!!

This little Piggy went He He He He Alllllll the Waaaay Home!

So, today we went to the Dallas Arboretum (Incredible Gardens in Dallas) and had a very tranquil afternoon with the family. The Arboretum was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. Then this evening we went out as a family again (I needed new pants for my Job) and it was Perfect... Almost...

Abigail is going through a stage right now that is giving EVERYONE a run for their money. I think it must have something to do with the way I'm praying. See, I keep asking the lord to give me patience, and as any knowledgeable and loving parent knows, when your child asks for help to be able to do something you don't just do it for them. You provide the opportunity for them to eternally develop the attribute.

So, while we were leaving the mall (Which has an ice skating rink that the girls did not get to use) Tori was having a bit of a breakdown... So I thought. It was nothing compared with what I was about to encounter.

On the way out we passed the bathroom and Tori needed it, so Angel and her were off while Abbie and I chilled on the couch. All night long Angel had repeatedly been wrestling with Abbie to have her keep her shoes on.

While we were there on the couch Abbie took her shoes off and scooted them in my direction with the stoic look of "Ha, now she's not here and there's nothing that she can do about it" (My mom knows the look well from me). I told her to put them back on and thus started World War 3 in the middle of Nordstroms.

Let me paint the scene...Soft beautiful piano music playing in the background, whispers as clerks and patrons shopped the merchandise. The soft clapping of people walking along the main Isles between departments, when suddenly AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!! Nooooooooo DAAAAAAAADDY NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! STOPIT! STOPIT, STOPIT!!! NOOOOOOOO!!! for about 3 solid minutes while Tori is taking her time doing breathing exercises to pee. :)

I wanted to let her take the shoes off, but knew if I did a great injustice would have been served to Abbie, although at the time you would have thought I was attempting to amputate her foot w/o anesthesia.

And so the Lord gives unto us in abundance as we ask... and I say that semi sarcastically, but the truth of it is... I DID indeed ask for it. and I am grateful for the experience, cause I felt like there were a thousand people staring at me, so I was more calculated in my parenting methods, which really made me more patient

Anyway... I guess that explains my other Post's Picture too :)

Power to Bless the World

Today, I was going to post about my sister in law Esther, who as her name sake in the Bible blessed a nation with her kindness. Then as I was seeking for a picture, I came across a picture of one of my absolutely favorite people in the World.

This is one of my Best Friends. His Name is Zack, He is Esther and Jeremy's Son, so I thought she would forgive me, since he is such a huge part of her life.

Zack is one of the smartest young men that I know. He is also very Strong. See Zack is a pioneer in our family he bears the weight as the Jensen family's oldest grandchild. He is the one that all of the rest of the children will look to for leadership, counsel, and advice.

And honestly, as a father of two little girls that I know will fall into that group, I couldn't think of anyone better than Zachary to be there.

I wish that all of you could meet him, and someday you just might. This rock posses within himself the power to bless the world. I felt it the first time I held him. Now 8 years later I not only feel it, but have began to see the seeds of it as he accomplishes great feats.

Zack, I am so proud of the young man that you are becoming, and want you to know that I am grateful to Heavenly Father for blessing our family with you.

Zack is POWERFUL!!!

The Most Beautiful Smile in the World

Whose the luckiest guy ever? ME!

Okay I am going to try to convey the feelings of my heart in a short blog entry. Truly this task is an impossible one, for my heart alone can barely contain the love that I have for Angel Noelle.

Last night, I read back through the pages of Angel's Journal. It was very difficult as she frequently wrote about the possibility of marriage with her fling at the time, and would ramble on about all of his great qualities. It was very hard not to feel like somehow I was being compared to these guys.

As I came more into the picture I would catch little snippets that would start talking about me fizzle out and end up talking about another guy. (Many of whom are great friends of mine). As you can imagine it was ripping my heart out. Why I was punishing myself like that I will never know, except to say that it was to fulfill a wise purpose in the Lord. He knew that I needed this mental beating for effect. What was to come in the latter portion of her record has ingrained an ever deeper love and adoration in my heart.

Angel and I went through a very gradual...well actually...Angel went through a gradual process of falling in Love with me. I was in Love with her the first time I met her. Her journal does not reflect this on paragraph it's talking about 1 guy and the next it's talking about how seriously we are considering Marriage.

As I read from that point on however, it became apparent that she too had received a strong spiritual confirmation of our Heavenly Father's will. This gave me great strength and I realized I am the WINNER!!!

All those other guys could not woo her heart and gain her everlasting trust. Through all the years of hanging on, and people thinking I was crazy wanting something that in their estimations was futile, It all paid off.

The Smiles that I post today are of the most incredible, Loving, Sweet, Kind, Forgiving, Patient, Strong, & HOTT smile that I have ever had the honor to see.

Smile 1 captures Angel in a nutshell. The sweet, innocent, piercing, eyes, coupled with her gorgeous smile, says... You are welcome in our home.

Smile 2 captures the Sassy Side of this Heavenly being. This is one of the things that I love most about Angel. I love her Strength for Fun! We all know I have A.D.D. so Fun comes naturally to me :) Angel on the other hand get's her Fun side from her Spunky Side! In fact this picture was after a James Bond Party that we went to for one of my Bro's Birthday's.

Smile 3 This is Angel's Strength... Now, It's certainly not Schwarzenegger's arms but if biceps showed inner strength she would put us ALL under the table, yes even the Govenator. Angel has fine tuned her abilities to lovingly lay the smack down. (Back in the day we had to work on it, but she's got it down now.

So...There you have it my friends. Angel Noelle Brockbank Sweet, Sassy, and Kickin'
Like I said in the begining;

Whose the luckiest guy ever?

Smile Wed 16th April

This smile is one of the funniest that I have seen in a long time. Sometimes it's hard to smile, but others may require your strength as they could be in a worse situation than you. When you find yourself in that situation, do like this lady and find yourself a smile on a stick and GO TO WORK SMILIN'!
