Happy New Year (Some Photo Highlights from 2015)

Last year Christmas brought us a new baby, our last Grandchild, Micah Mae, born Christmas eve 2014. She is being held here (in the above photo) by our oldest, Zachary, who is now a freshman in College.  Last year was a pretty awesome Christmas and we did not think it would be topped as our whole Miller clan met together at our son Geoffrey's home, and we received such a wonderful gift.

But the reason this post is so late is that the day following Christmas 2015 as our entire clan was together celebrating Christmas at our daughters home near Dallas we were met by a tornado. We were all saved but the house didn't fair too well.  I did not take out comprehensive on our car as it was paid for.  Two broken windows and dings but now it is being repainted to prevent rust.  Leaving the dings to save money and it's a further reminder of the providence of God. So now I would say even though Christmas 2014 was one to remember due to the birth of our Grand daughter, the 2015 will be the most remembered due to the tornado. It for sure made us think about what is truly important in life. We are so thankful for God's protection and providence.

Right after Christmas last year I had the privilege of witnessing the restoration and re-marriage of my niece Christina to her husband Bert.  They had been separated and divorced since 2009. This was truly a demonstration of forgiveness and reconciliation.  God is still in the business of healing, restoring, and mending brokenness.

 That last service of the Spiritual retreat for our Senior High School students they wrote down their confessions or anything they wanted to turn loose of in their life and give these to God and then in the bon fire they could symbolically burn these things.

Our beautiful campus is rented out for a lot of weddings, retreats and other special events. This following photo is taken at the wedding of one of our own teachers.  In the Cordillera region of the Philippines everyone is invited for the feast.  The saying goes "Where there is smoke, there is fire, where there is fire their is meat, and where there is meat there is a feast. So if you can see the smoke you are invited."  So I went to a number of wedding feasts.

 The following are photos from a d-VBS (Vacation Bible School)

Donna was my Chaplain's assistant and she gave me the invitation to help in their d-VBS and it was there that I met Abby.  It was an honor when I was asked to be a part of her life, even though we are continents away.
