Happy 19th Anniversary!

Today we celebrate 19 years of marriage. In a world that regards marriage so flippantly that is quite an accomplishment for us. God has blessed us so very much and I am so very thankful for all that we have accomplished all these years together. I look forward to our enjoying the years that God still has for us to have together.

To God be All the Glory for All that He has Done in Our Lives! I love you Babe!

USA Weightlifting Youth Nationals 2025

Tim’s day started off incredible. He did a 3/3 on his snatch lifts. They weren’t enough to medal but it showed huge improvement from last years National event. He went on to have a great start in the Clean & Jerks. On his second lift he had a “lights out” moment and dropped to the floor. He got right back up though. His coach was so incredibly awesome in his attendance to Tim and making sure he was in fact ok before sending him back out to do his third lift. Time ran short and although Tim did an amazing last lift the refs declared it a "no lift" saying Tim didn’t get the barbell off the floor before time ran out. Unofficially Tim did 90kg Snatch/117kg C&J for a 207kg total. Officially though, he did 90kg Snatch/112kg C&J for a 202kg total. Unofficially he got 4th place overall but officially he got 6th. Because there was no jury to overturn the judges bad call the judges judgement stood. At a National Level Event there should always be a jury, IMO.

Heaven Is Brighter Because You Are There!!! - Lisa Young 2.31.1959-6.21.2021

Always remembering my good friend Lisa Young. She will always hold a special place in not only my heart but my husbands as well. She was instrumental in bringing us together. She will forever be in our hearts and she will never be forgotten. "IN EVERYTHING WE HAVE WON MORE THAN A VICTORY BECAUSE OF CHRIST WHO LOVES US. I AM SURE THAT NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD'S LOVE-NOT LIFE OR DEATH, NOT ANGELS OR SPIRITS, NOT THE PRESENT OR THE FUTURE, AND NOT POWERS ABOVE OR POWERS BELOW. NOTHING IN ALL CREATION CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD'S LOVE FOR US IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!" ROMANS 8:37-39 (CEV)

Heaven's Gain Our Loss

Louise Holcomb Speckhart, 51, entered into her Heavenly home on Thursday, January 11, 2024. I take comfort in knowing that we will see one another in Heaven someday. This hymn has been on my mind since her passing. "When We All Get To Heaven": Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed He'll prepare for us a place. When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory! While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav'ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh. Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay. When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory! Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we'll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold. When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory!

Heaven Gained a Hero Aug. 16, 1935 to May 16, 2024 - 88 years old

It's hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember. Pop (Franklin Eugene Neal) was born in Ashland, KY. He graduated Thomas R. Brown High School and was a proud Army National Guard Veteran. He loved cars and working on them. He loved racing them with his boys, Jeff and Scot. He could fix just about anything. If he didn't have a tool for something then he'd make it. He valued family above everything. He loved traveling and going to amusement parks with his kids and grandkids, especially Disney World. He will forever be missed and forever be in our hearts! (this is not his official Obit)
