Enjoying God’s Creation

As I type this, Piles Peak is surrounded by storm clouds and the view is dramatic. Last week, however, I couldn’t see “the Peak” at all - we were in Texas on the beach. As boys are prone to do, a couple of my boys joined me for some sand castle construction in the sand. Great fun, and a wonderful memory.

I hope you’ve been able to get outdoors and spend some time with family and friends enjoying God’s handiwork. If you’d like suggestions on how to do that, try this discussion.

And while you are there, look for the slideshow of other Fuller Family pictures as we enjoy nature together, as well as a slideshow from a gifted photographer and speaker, Bill Ivy.

Orphan Care Summit IV

In the pic: Zane and Graham. Both cousins were adopted, and despite some differences, they’re pretty similar in many ways. They surely do get along well - can you tell?

About 10 days ago there were 550 folks - from around the globe - in Fort Lauderdale for a three day conference. The reason they gathered: to see how to work together more effectively in serving the 143 million kids who are fatherless.

As an adoptive dad, I’ve learned a lot about the tremendous needs of orphans - and the many, many good things being done for children who are desparate for a family, for love. The folks who came to Florida are motivated and engaged to impact the lives of these fatherless — and their energy was something to behold!

Here’s some nice blog coverage of the “Summit,” which I was privileged to attend (see the May 6 entry for pics and more).

It really was a pretty special gathering, and everyone there had a heart to touch orphans for eternity. I look forward to seeing how God moves in the days ahead!

Racing and…Prayer?

Here’s a link to some photos of Dr. Dobson “on the road” recently. He was invited to a NASCAR event, and the pictures of that day reveal a new fan’s enjoyment of the sport. He prayed at a pre-race gathering.

On May 1 Dr. and Mrs. Dobson were in Washington, D.C. for National Day of Prayer activities, and there are some very nice shots of the Dobsons with President Bush.

BTW, audio of some of the events in D.C. is here.

In Love? How To REALLY Know

An age old question that remains a mystery to many younger adults. Check out some answers here.

BTW, thanks to Jeremy and Ellie for the photo op.

Last August…


Last August our family went out for one final hike together before sending our oldest off to college. Here we are on the back side of Pikes Peak. Beautiful!

As I write this post, Dakota is finishing up his first year at Hillsdale College in Michigan. It has been a great experience for him, and we’re grateful for all that God has done in his life during the past nine months.
