thanks for all the love and prayers


This will be my last iPhone post, although I have really enjoyed this I have to turn it back over to a true writer, Joye.
Joye has been my hero, lover, friend, and mother of the most wonderful children. Some rise in the midst of adversity only, but Joye rises every day like the sun. She not only brightens my day but the days if hundreds others. She brings new life into the world with no fears or worries, but just Christ like perseverence and unconditional love. I could never do what she does every day, I haven't met anyone else who posseses that much love and gives it away so freely. Thank you Joye for all your sacrifices, I hope one day I can learn to love like you. You are a true HERO OF LOVE. Thad, Boston, Astair, and Legend are the most blessed children in the world, and I am the most blessed man alive or to have ever lived. You own my heart.

Love Joel

    What a sweet post to your lovely wife. Thank you so much for being willing to share your day of welcoming Legend into the world with us. I do not know of many men who would have done this with such grace and style.

    Welcome, Sweet Legend! Joye, what beautiful photos and what a wonderfully sweet and God-loving man you have. I just prayed for little Legend and asked God that He would bless this little man with peace, love of Him, and laughter. Enjoy. He is precious.
