It’s hard to believe, but the month of July is already winding down and the end of summer is on the horizon.  Summer at ABC has been quite the sprint.  From our Summer Kick-off Party to our Beach Camp, to Vacation Bible School and Freedom Over Austin, our summer has been filled with exciting eventsContinue reading “The greatest disciplines”

It’s great to be back in Austin, Texas!  I missed seeing you all last weekend, but our family did have a wonderful time away on vacation.  Bethany and I were grateful to spend most of the week celebrating our anniversary in Charleston, South Carolina, while our kiddos had an adventure filled week with their grandparentsContinue reading “His energy in us”
