Hi all,

We made it through 24 hours of labor and surgery to welcome Hope Olivia Yee Ott into this world. She was born May 30, 2007 and weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces and is 19 3/4 inches long

Mom and child are well. Child is quite cute even if mom and dad say so themselves. Thanks for your prayers and support. Hope looks forward to meeting you and having you change her diapers. Mom and Dad look forward to Hope opening her eyes and having her grow strong so she is not so floppy. Please forward this message to others who may want to meet Hope.

Love,

Bunny and Grason

what a joy! Hope looks happy and content. I hope Mommy has a good rest after that marathon! Aren't you glad you took those weeks off to rest up!

Let me know when you get the Ott's website up so we can all watch the family grow together.

Congratulations again to the Proud Mama & Papa!

Our brindle pit is having babies today. There are 4 males and 6 females. 6 of them are solid (some black and some brindle) and 4 are white and black or brown. Really cool pups! Feels good bein a 'quasi-granpa'.

Paige brought her little one!

What bright eyes he has! Paige came to Erik's graduation celebration and brought her little ones. This little guy has a very inquiring demeanor.

Lali invited the Youth Worship Ministry to open for her part in the Inaugural Services in this community church.

They are still without a Senior Pastor, but are pressing on in the Harvest Fields.

Wonderful night of music & encouragement.

Lest we forget...

I appreciate this viewpoint.

Search Institute: 40 Developmental Assets

My Friends!

I always get motivated with good resources. I have embraced the 40 Developmental Assets Framework for several years and it seems to be a good match for needs that I have become aware of lately. I wanted to share the link for the Search Institute and the 40 Developmental assets. This is a fantastic, replicable framework to establish touchpoints for improvement in our communities and families. The pages are avaliable in Spanish and other languages as well as for different age groups. I consider this a great tool for sharing a Pro-Active approach to addressing challenges in our society, as I do the leadership curriculums that will help us raise the next generation of Change Agents in the World. Please feel free to contact me if you need to schedule training events for your organization.

PAX,

MyChurch

I have recently encountered the MyChurch network/website and read one of the most random and humurous entries i've seen in a while - you must have a wacked sense of humor to tolerate it. It gets rather tedious after 100 entries or so, but I'm gettin all kinds of 'What's my line?' type of dialogues. Help me come up with one on the comments. We can make our own version here.
