Weekend at the Lockwood House

On Saturday my cousin called and said hey lets Bar B. She said we will bring over the food. How can you turn that down? All I had to do was bake some beans and make some dips. Mike cooked. She also made a homemade carrot cake which I might add is one of Aaron's favorites, she put pineapples in it (which he really loves) Of course he loves when they are all here because then he has his cousin Justin who is 11 months older than him here to play Wii with. So it was nice having them over for the evening. And Mike had the night off. He tries not to work on Saturday nights because if he does he does not get home till 7:30 AM and it makes him really tired for church that morning.

Yesterday, Bro. John as always did a wonderful job on the morning sermon, but Mike and I really enjoy the studies he does on Sunday evenings. We started a new one last night on the end of times and the condition our world is in. I can so relate to many of the issues he spoke about. Within people whom I felt were my friends and my family. I see prophecy being fulfilled more and more each day. Part of the scripture text was based on 2 Timothy Chapter 3

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Very interesting indeed..... cannot wait until next Sunday evening for the next class.

Also Aaron was quite excited they have a class called TEEN IMPACT, it is similar to the teachings and fellowship of what the Missionary Baptists call THE DISCOVERY PROGRAM.

Aaron is loving it, as you know he was not well excepted in the Discovery Program back in California, he was made fun of and many were not accepting of his disabilities. But the kids and teen leaders here have excepted him with loving, open arms and the leaders work so well with him and actually tell us that he is a joy to have in the class. He participates in class discussions even. Yesterday they gave out new Teen Impact Shirts. Aaron was so so happy they had bought him one as well. He feels like he fits in here. GOD IS GOOD. I am going to post a picture of him in his new shirt last night and what it reads on the back of it.

Also this morning Mike and I took him to the Northwest Oklahoma University Campus here in town, he is beginning a class. He was accepted in the Vocational Rehabiliation Program. He was very very excited. GOD IS GOOD....We are so very proud of Bubba and beginning to feel we should have moved here years ago.

This past semister in school he did wonderful and wound up with 2 A's 2 B's and 3 C's. He is doing so well. Amazing what happens when you have the right people to work with a special child (teenager)......

Anyway that was our exciting weekend and now we begin a new week. Next week is the Association in Missouri and we are looking forward to attending that.
