Today is Rusty’s 15th birthday. He is an awesome son and I’m so glad God blessed me with him. I want to publicly thank him for the extraordinary amount of tech-support he has given me these last few years. He taught me how to use Blogger, built the AHOPE Store (with help), edited dozens of photos, and now (along with our friend, Nathan) he is building me a new website. He has also answered countless calls of, “Rusty, can you help me with something?” and most often he is cheerful about it.

A bright and ambitious son, he is exceedingly self-directed. He is nearly ready to graduate from high school, although we plan to have him study at home for another year or so.

He is very passionate for the Lord and I have no doubt that Rusty will do great things as he serves God with his talents.
