First official 'Hello'

[Greg Daves]

I have lurked for some time, and even have participated from time to time, but thought now I should crawl out from behind the tree and join the Creek for real.

From a peronal stand point, this has been a rough year for my family...earlier this year my wife, son and I were lucky enough to spend a few months with our daughter, Logan, before she succumbed to her congenital heart defect. It was the most rewarding two months of my life, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Please visit her website at: www.caringbridge.com/tx/logandaves, as my wife has quite a ministry going as a result of Logan's short life. To add insult to injury, I lost my job to a layoff a little over a month ago. Although, I must say that I think it has been a blessing, as I have needed to spend some time with my wife and son.

I look forward to joining in the lively, friendly, and very respectful discussions that this web site alone seems to have developed. For that I pay my respects to the administrators and members.

Hope all are having a good Labor day weekend...me, I've been on permanant vacation for several weeks now! :D

Greg, I'm sorry for your loss. As a believer, I take my comfort from the promises of the Lord and the knowledge that I, with my children, belong to Him. I'm glad to see from your website that you believe the same.

Welcome!

[Greg Daves]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Waymon, I appreciate your thoughts on the website.

Jason, If we didn't believe that Logan was 'complete' now and in a better place, my family would be extremely lost right now.

Before the 'picture police' have time to comment, I will try to get some pics of some of my projects underway and post.

Thanks again, and looking forward to the interaction.
