In Glen Burnie, Maryland Today

Lora and I had the great opportunity to go a wonderful home right on the river near Glen Burnie, MD, not too far from Baltimore. We went for a baby shower (guys went boating on the river and fished) for one of our "kids", Carrie (Giordano) Clifton. Carrie was one of our youth and young adults at Harvest Church in Alexandria. She has become an amazing woman of God and now about to be a mother. She is serving God at Harvest with her great husband, Lance Clifton.

We are so priviledged to have such a great connection with our "kids", we love them so much. So many of them are serving at Harvest in some form of ministry, what a joy for us to see. We are so proud of them. I feel like a proud father, right before Father's Day. :-) Here are some pics from the afternoon, don't all dads have pics of their "kids".

Thank you so much for all you have done for my girls. While they are so far away from me it is such a Blessing to have wonderful people like you there for them. I was at the shower in spirit(lovely pix and comments) and will see you all July 1st.

Sylvia,

Thank you for kind words to my wife and me. Christie & Carrie are wonderful women, we have been blessed and honor to have known them for that last seven years.

Lora and I wish we could have the opportunity to see you more and to get to know you better. Hopefully someday we will come out to California and stop by to visit you. :-)

Blessings,
Chris
