The Journey of a Family Striving to Live Dangerously Surrendered!


"Surrendering means that we have come to the end of our independence from him, our reliance on self-sufficiency, and our insistence that we don’t need him. Surrender to God changes everything! Why add the word dangerous to surrender? Because we don’t surrender to a benevolent but impotent grandfatherly figure; we surrender to Almighty God —the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. C. S. Lewis’s character Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia depicts God as a magnificent lion —good, but certainly not safe. Surrendering your life to God is the boldest and riskiest step you can take. Being dangerously surrendered to God allows you to know him in increasingly deeper ways and to participate fully in his will. " ~Kay Warren

What A Year To Be Thankful!









We have had the most memorable Thanksgiving this year. We went home to Nebraska for the first time in almost a year and spent time with family. The most precious day was spent with Ali, Kurt's oldest daughter and JoLynn's beautiful step daughter. We have missed her terribly and we are so very proud of the wonderful, sweet, beautiful young woman she has grown into. We have never been so thankful! The four kids had a great time together, dancing, singing, and wrestling around as siblings do. What a gift to us all! We love you, Ali! So proud of you!
