Last night, our beautiful daughter, CJ, became engaged to Tony Longenbaugh and will become his wife on October 9.

CJ has been the model of a faithful young woman as she's waited for God to bring her future into focus. She's taken care of me through some pretty rough times, but she's also served her family, her church, and her friends in every way she could think of--making meals, teaching bread-baking classes, directing children's musicals, housesitting and babysitting, helping homeschooling families organize their homes...and dozens of other acts of service that have made her a blessing to all who know her.

I have no doubt that all the things that make CJ such a beloved friend and family member will continue...but soon she'll be serving with a different name and in a different state (Oklahoma). In the meantime, we'll treasure our last five and a half months with her and thoroughly enjoy helping her plan her wedding.

Pray for CJ and Tony as God leads them into a future of serving Him together!
