Happy Valentines Day

Oh, let us rejoice in the Lord, evermore,
When darts of the tempter are flying,
For Satan still dreads, as he oft did before,
Our singing much more than our crying.

The secure and FALSE Christians, who are always more than the true believers, have no correct information concerning faith, for they think if they straightway fall into and continue in sin-yet they only believe-then there is no danger, for faith alone justifies without any good works. In that, they rest. They do nothing good, yea, only evil, and for all that, they wish to be Christians. But they are worse than the heathen. However, we heard above that faith begets new men and makes all things new in the heart, mind, and senses. These new men then as a good tree, bear good fruit, and lead a holy life. Where this is not the case, there is no true faith.
-Martin Luther

Mere external religion is ever a cloak to cover iniquity. The Lord exposed all that in His strong denunciations in Matt. 23. The guilty combination in Judaism has largely developed in Christendom. The conscience of a believer may become so seared that a person can practice religion while yet living in sin
- W.E. Vine

Maggie

My sister had her baby. It was a LOOOOONG labor - about 32 hours!! She did a great job. I'm proud of her! Maggie was born on February 1st. Her full name is Margaret Josephine Sager.

I thank God for her R.N. Julia!!

Julia blogging while in labor!! Check out Julia's blog at http://somethingsager.blogspot.com/

Adam making the calls.

Friend Heather doing business as Julia is in labor. I got the mini muffin tray and I still need to send her a check!

My sister Shellee and I have the same shoes!

Julia walking around to get labor going. Debbie showing off her perfectly round belly. Debbie is due in march!

Loy and me, tired...

Debbie had to buy these cute clothes for Tierra because Julia was in labor so long and she didn't bring extra clothes!

Tierra and Valarie, aka "THE TEENAGER", waiting for something to happen. Valarie was attacked by her Aunt with a powdered donut (that's what the white circle is on her sweatshirt). There is a matching circle on the other side. Everyone needs an Aunt Shellee!

My Mom looking rested while waiting for her newest grand baby.

Debbie is next!

We got to go out to eat since Julia was having such a long labor. Thank you, Loy. Shellee, Debbie, Tierra, Valarie, me, and my mom.

Finally, Maggie entered the world!

Her lips are so cute!

Adam, Julia, and Maggie.

We waited a long time for you! Happy Birthday, Maggie!
