My oldest son had his first prom tonight. He took a girl named Rachel who he's been sweet on for quite a while now. A group of them all went together. It was Justin & Rachel, Sam (who is Rachel's older brother) and Kelsey and Sarah. These are all kids from our church. This gang hangs out together all the time, so it just seemed natural for them to also go to prom together.

So you want to see how handsome he looked?

This is rare, because Justin rarely ever smiles for pictures

Justin & Rachel

Justin, Rachel, Sarah, Kelsey, Sam

Ok, I have more, but I've bored you enough. Thanks for looking

Thanks!! I'm pretty proud of him. We can't take any credit for how handsome he is, since he's adopted. But he really is a great kid! We were so blessed when God placed Justin in our home.
And Rachel is as sweet as they come. Her mom was born in the Philippines and her dad is American. They married and then spent the next 18 years in Thailand as missionaries. While there, they had 5 kids. Then 2 years ago, the dad decided to move his family back to the States and settle them here in our little town - where they didn't know a single soul. And then he declared that he didn't want to be married anymore and wants a divorce. The mom is devastated, of course. But she believes in the sanctity of marriage, so she's refusing to file for divorce. It's a sad situation. This man has walked away from the God that he knew and preached about for all those years. Please pray for him. His name is Bill.

I love prom pictures. One of the girls that I work with brought all her son's pictures to work a couple of weeks ago and shared them with us.

The school that Pastor and Sherri's son Zac went to had the James Bond theme. He wore blue and black too.

I will. I understand completely. My husband's ex-wife wants absolutely nothing to do with God. She was a pastor's wife, a choir director, played the piano, very involved in ministry and is now so bitter at God. She decided that she didn't want to be married after 18 years, didn't want to be a christian, and she is a total piece of work. We deal with her daily almost. You pray for Jan and I'll pray for Bill.

Thank you. This is a great group of kids. All of them have very high moral standards and are good committed Christian kids. It's so good to know that that is the kind of crowd my son is hanging around with.

Justin wore the red because Rachel's dress was red and they wanted to match. I thought that was sweet. This is his first official 'date'. Nothing like starting out with a bang, eh!

The red looked nice with that blue and black. Good choice!
