Last Friday, 4/19/24, we were blessed with a 14th grandchild, a boy weighing 8 labs and 21 inches long. May God bless the child and his parents in raising him.
Beloved of the Lord
Jedidiah by name
May God bless and afford
Wisdom and godly fame
Know God’s salvation soon
And serve Him with fervor
For Zeal is a great boon
Mixed with truth and ardor
Beware of a false zeal
And man’s empty wisdom
Of pleasures that appeal
And every works system
Bind truth and love to you
A warrior for the right
A freeman, Francis, true
At peace, yet fit to fight
