Thanks, Aimee. Your words are energy to us. We love the journey that we get to be on; it certainly is a season of stretching and learning. And though we will not do it right the first time, we will keep living, growing, and changing. It is beautiful to know that the Father is awakening hearts all over the world to a new level of living and hope! Love you guys.

A rare quiet moment brought me to your website. We often think of you two, your bravery, your example… Our oldest is getting ready to graduate from High School, to face the world and I am so thankful that there are people we know that I can point to and say to her, “Be brave! Don’t accept the limitations that others try to place on you. You can and WILL make a difference!” I believe in her. I believe in you guys! I am frequently grieved by looking around at young people who get caught up in stuff that leads nowhere, not because of their particular actions, but because of the denial of their power to change things that their actions are demonstrating. KEEP GOING! NEVER give in to some other persons opinion that you will grow out of your moxie and fortitude! I pray that WE can grow up into some moxie and fortitude. We love you!

As I sit here and read another amazingly well written post, my mind somehow wanders back to our school days. No, not those of Montrose or Fruita but those in our playroom where you were the student and Amy and I were the teachers. Oh, how you would moan and groan about having to do the work we would put in front of you. You would even go to the extreme of rolling on your stomach, pound your fists into the ground, kick the carpet and cry. We never scolded you for such immature behavior, instead we would sit you up and explain to you that SOMEDAY our teaching and vast knowledge would be valuable to you. Like none you could ever receive from public school. It is quite evident by your lyrical words that that day has come into fruition. No need to thank me, I am merely your sister.

Seriously…I love your passion Matt! You & your beauty of a wife are so inspiring to us! Keep on keeping on! Isn’t that a song…

“Somedays I feel like an ignorant young man fighting for ideals and innovation, which feels more like I am spinning my wheels in the slimy mud.”

I think you are guilty on both accounts, but who cares? More power to you. Like talking to Crystal at Richard’s the other night; she’s clearly a wack teenager, and ‘wrong’ on nearly every point , but the energy is there.

I think that if you are willing to give your energy, with out consideration of return on investment, you are doing what you’re supposed to do on the most important level. If everyone did that, we’d be fine.
