Back to Blogging

This isn't the way we had planned to get back in to blogging, but sometimes God gives you the nudge that you need.

Today we lost a father figure to many and the verse Jeremiah 29:11, one of our favorites, was mentioned... 

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

No one knew when we woke up this morning and began 2014 that Rusty Franklin would be leaving us today.  Although we all selfishly would have loved for him to remain here on Earth, we have no doubt that he heard the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant!", as found in Matthew 25:21, when he was at home with the Lord.

"We thank God every time we remember you, Rusty." Philippians 1:3

We found this picture on Rusty's Facebook page, and it made us tear up and laugh at the same time.  This is exactly how we picture Rusty looking over us from Heaven!

We had originally planned to blog about new beginnings, and we guess this is a new beginning of sorts...A life without Rusty Franklin for his family, friends, and Plano East.  His spirit will live on in all of our hearts...
