Today, Sunday, we were delighted to see Rob and Blanca Hettinga and their little daughter Raine here at the tournament. She was just a few months old the last time we saw her. Blanca's "claim to fame" is she was the Oregon State Women's Horseshoe Champion from2006 through 2011 ! Joe and Rob pitched in the same class today (Joe did beat him (Sorry Rob)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We often hear " We are amazed at Joe's strength and tenacity" or "Where does he get the strength" to do these things he does. The only answer we have to give you is Jesus. He is our Strength, our Courage, our Peace and our Comfort. We are thankful for each day. Just so you know, there ARE days that sometimes "beat us up" but those are the times we know He is as close to us as just breathing His name and we feel His presence. es, we have our tears, and sadness, but again He is there to wipe those tears, and comfort us as we need it. We just can't thank you enough for all the notes with words of encouragement, the beautiful cards, the emails and texts. You know who you are and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Have a great week!!
