At 2:30 Friday August 28th 2009 the Lord graciously blessed us with the birth of a third child. Berkley Anastasia Hough is healthy and for that we praise our Lord. Berkley is simply a name we love, we know it is a little odd, we don’t care. Anastasia is Greek (Αναστασία) for “resurrection” [...]

Wisdom in the mud
John 17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
We had a Muck Fest with the youth this summer, and the next day in Sunday School Pastor Tony’s latest sermon (at the time) came up and Hat said, “It’s like: I was in the mud, but not of [...]

Summer in Texas
Becks and Sadie Piper spend about 10 days in Texas with my parents while we were at RiverRanch with youth. They stayed super busy and wore their Mimi and Ompah out!
Brian was jealous they got to go to an Astros’ game! It might help him to know they didn’t make it past the 4th inning. [...]
