Arden is with Jesu… Jesus on the cross – Arden style. Notice the guy with jackhammer out in the middle. :… Jesus right before He Peter steps out of the boat. And yes, he is the one with a bear… Peter walking to Jesus on the water. Jesus & Peter make it back to the boat safely! My Little Princess Arden’s...

Eliana Joy Most of you know that Eliana Joy is my little (almost) 8 month old. I like to call her “Little E”, “Chunky-monkey” and of course “Sugar-lumps.” One thing I love about my Eliana Joy is that she reminds me to smile, especially in the hard times. There are those moments when she’s the one bringing the “hard time,” but when that little girl smiles I can’t help but smile right back. And I’m reminded that it’s really not that bad. As my grumpy face is...

read moreARDEN/DADDY JAM SESSION
I found this audio just recently from a recording off my iPhone. Arden and I jam quite often on my guitar and sing to, or about the Lord. This was just one of many jam sessions we had. It’s worth the listen and hopefully will make you laugh as well as love the Lord more.

read moreARDEN ACCOUNTABILITY
Several days ago I (Richee) was doing the normal evening routine which included Arden taking a bath. He stripped down to his bare buns and jumped into his bath with his normal gitty giggle. I left him there to help Grace with Eliana and get his bedtime process ready. Everything seemed to be going as planned and Arden’s bath time usually goes off without a hitch as part of the nighttime routine. But this night was different. I came back to the bathroom probably 10 minutes later with a layer of water covering the ENTIRE bathroom...
read moreBirth: A Reminder Of Ultimate Hope
Yesterday morning my little girl was birthed into the world, leaving me stunned by God’s creative genius and overwhelmed by the amount of love that He places in the heart of a father for their child. At around 4pm today, just 12 hours after the labor process had begun, it was my job to go pick up my parents (grandma and grandpa) and Arden (big brother) from our apartment in order to escort them over to the hospital to see our new little Eliana Joy I left the hospital in pursuit of coffee, which I desperately needed, and found some...
read moreEJP…What Does It Stand For???
As we wait for our little ladies arrival we thought we would share her name with you and what it means to us. Eliana means “God is responding” or “God is answering.” Besides the fact that many people prayed that I would have a girl and God answered, her name has an additional meaning to me. I believe that one day Jesus the Messiah will split the sky, return and judge the wicked and the righteous. On that day we will see God’s ultimate answer, receive our resurrected bodies and enter His Kingdom on this...
read moreDiscussing The Bible With A 3 Year Old
I (Richee) cannot fully describe how powerful it is to discuss the Word of God with my son at this present time. When he was younger and I couldn’t converse with him because of the language barrier, there was something in me that strongly desired for these days to come. Where I could discuss the revelation of my heart with him but also hear and see him share (with fervent passion) the revelation of his heart with me concerning the Bible. Part of my desire is connected to the radical changes God has done in me over...
