For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. Titus 2:11-14

Dedicated to Steve Luther.
A wonderful man, husband, father, friend, and soon to be grandfather went to spend his eternity with the Lord a few hours ago. One of our long time family friends, Steve Luther had a heart attack on October 29, 2009 and suffered a 2nd heart attack 3 months later (to the day.) In the past 3 months he had done everything the doctors told him to and yet God still called him home this morning. What a difficult reminder that God has numbered our days and that we should live each one to the fullest. Embrace this new year you have been given and thank God for all of the blessing He has bestowed upon you. Don't be afraid to tell people you love them, soak your self in the word of God, spend time in fellowship, share with others the hope and freedom you have in Christ.
