Ann Arbor Road Trip




This past weekend I took a road trip to Ann Arbor with my Mom and we had a wonderful weekend. We left on Friday and went to Ann Arbor and had lunch with my Uncle Garry at the Earl Sandwich Shop. Then we did a little shopping before we headed to Adrian to spend the evening with my Aunt and Uncle and their family. We went to the Adrian High School Football game and watched them beat Fowlerville and we had our first opportunity to watch my cousin play the snare drum in the band. Afterwards the drumline did a great act right front and center which was totally spectacular. On Saturday we headed to Ann Arbor for the ultimate show at the BIG HOUSE. The game against Minnesota was great even though we sat in, rain, sunshine, and cold wind all in one game. The final score was Michigan 34 and Minnesota 10. Michigan retained "The Little Brown Jug". Now we are just 3 games out from a chance at winning the Big Ten Title. This will be a weekend I will always remember. I had much fun Mom. Thanks for going even though you were under the weather. You really are a trooper !

The Lord's Return?


Last week one night my Wife, Bryce, and Myself were standing out in our front yard looking up into the sky at the beautiful sky and the big puffy white clouds after my Mom called me and told me about them. These were not your usual big clouds because, the outside lining of the clouds were brilliant with light so I took a few pictures. My wife made a neat statement saying "I bet these are the kind of clouds that the Lord's going to return in." Then Bryce added "Mom, is the Lord going to return right now?" It was cute to see his curiosity as we were talking about the clouds and the Lord. It helped us keep it in perspective that the Lords return in imminent meaning he can return at any time. It maybe morn, noon, or night..... It maybe today, tomorrow, or years from now. We just don't know but, the Bible does promise that the Lord will return. The question is will "YOU" be ready?

Thought for the Day ! ! !















Whatever your cross,
Whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine,
After the rain ....
Perhaps you may stumble,
Perhaps even fall,
But God's always ready,
To answer your call ...
He knows every heartache,
Sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
Can calm every fear ...
Your sorrows may linger,
Throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
Dawn's' early light ...
The Savior is waiting,
Somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
And send you His love ..
Whatever your cross,
Whatever your pain,
'God always sends rainbows ....
After the rain ... '

Don't Drink and Drive ! ! !

What you're about to see may be shocking. I had to think for a moment if I actually wanted to show these pictures because, they are pretty graphic. Although I know alot of people who drink and drive and it seems they don't always understand the consequences that can come with it. Here below is a story of a beautiful girl named Jacqueline who's life was turned upside down and her beauty was shattered all because of one fool who thought drinking and driving was cool. Now I wonder how cool he thinks it is as you will see a picture of him below. Please take the time to pass this blog site along to your friends and family so they too can read about what can happen when you DRINK and DRIVE.

Thanks Brian L. Cooper









This is Jacqueline Saburido on September 19, 1999.












This is her and her Father, 1998.











This is her on Vacation in Venezuela.







Birthday party as a child.








At a party with friends.






The car in which Jacqueline traveled. She was hit by another car that was driven by a 17-year old male student on his way home after drinking a couple of hard packs with his friends. This was in December 1999.





After the accident Jacqueline has needed over 40 operations.






Jacqueline was caught in the burning car and her body was heavily burnt during around 45 seconds.







With her Father, 2000.






Getting treatment.







Three months after accident.







Without a left eyelid Jacquie needs eye drops to keep her vision.






Now 20 year old, he cannot forgive himself for driving drunk on that night three years ago.He's aware of devastating Jacqueline Saburidos life.








Not everyone who gets hit with a car dies. This picture was taken 4 years after the accident and the doctors are still working on Jacqueline, whose body was covered with 60% severe burnings.
