Celebrating A Lifetime of Ministry

Sunday will be a day of great celebration!

Rev. Larry & Dr. Eunice Bryant

Our church is celebrating the many years my parents have been in ministry. Mom will turn 90 on April 3rd. Dad turned 95 back in December.
Mom will be preaching next Sunday during the morning service.

I am so very proud of my parents! They have been wonderful examples of living a life in Christ!

Art Show

Today my Jeremy has an art show in Santa Monica, CA. I am praying it will go well for him. The show is at Patagonia I took this at a show he had the day before he shipped this to CA. This piece is "gynormous". I sure hope someone buys it!

This is probably my favorite of all his work but I don't think it is one he has in CA.

I AM PROUD OF YOU, JEREMY! :?)

Too Good To Be Left Under The Bed

Intro to yet another one of my blogs!

After some recent communications I have felt led to share some notes of my life while parenting a prodigal. Some of the prayers you read here were copied from books passed on to others long ago. If you authored any parts of these prayers please forgive me for not acknowledging you. I have no idea where I got them from!Some of what I will have on here will be notes from "sermons" I gave after the death of our son.My prayer is that these prayers and stories will be used to encourage parents who are in the throes of parenting prodigal children.Our son was killed in an accident ten years ago and we have created a site to commemorate that time at www.myspace.com/bryanscommemoration

Life Went On

So, I discovered that giving up blogging was definitely a good choice for fasting for Lent!

Though I did have a wonderful time in The Word, and listening to sermons, and reading books I found I really missed knowing what was going on in your lives!

There were several things that happened in my life that I wanted to blog about. Of course as I try to pull those thoughts up now I am wondering what those were!:?)

I went to the Passion For Jesus conference at IHOP. I was blessed through the whole thing. It was good to have a friend with me this time...and Gary joined up for part of it. I believe my favorite sermon was by Allen Hood. It was one of the best sermons I have ever heard on the cross. I have actually read over the notes a few times and re-listened to the sermon since coming home! It was good to have that during Holy Week.

Some of you have made changes in your lives during this time and it feels like I was actually out of the country and life moved on without me! I remember when Jonathan tried to tell me about blogging and I thought I would never get it and do that. Now, I just thank God that He gave the brains to someone to come up with this wonderful tool through which His people can bless one another!

Blessings on all of you!

I Am Back

He has risen! Jesus is alive!
