Kerri and her Dad

Written by admin on . Posted in children, Kerri, NACC. 2 Comments on Kerri and her Dad

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I have been soooooooooooo busy, and things are getting even more hectic… Just wanted to mention that I’ve enjoyed preaching through the ten commandments and have heard so many good comments about the series so far. There is a biblical truth that the word of God never returns void, and that is certainly the case during this series.

This next week, my family will be attending the North American Christian Convention in Kansas City, where I am involved in many different things. I’m hoping to write several posts this week from Kansas City. In the past two years, I have served in the capacity of planning this year’s convention. The focus of the ’07 convention is church planting, and we are hoping that thousands catch the vision of planting and birthing new churches.

Please pray for my family as we travel, that God would be with us and that the Convention would be blessed.

Check back for more updates.

Looking forward to preaching this weekend and the next service here at Shepherd. I hope to see you here…

In love

Dudley

I’m so sorry I have not written recently… I have been putting out fires… and trying to review our wonderful Easter Services… so many people have called and written to express their gratitude… and we’ve even begun working on next year’s Easter service… can you believe that????

It seems like as soon as one big event ends… another begins… something I enjoy about Shepherd is that we are always working to reach as many people as possible.

And then we’ve had the difficult story of the shootings on the college campus of Virgina Tech, and trying to make sense out of all that…. It is just a reflection of our society, where lawlessness and evil rear their ugly heads. It all speaks to our need of reaching as many people as possible for Jesus Christ.

We need to be in prayer for the people whose lives have been devasted by these shootings…. May God grant strength and comfort to those who are hurting.

The picture above is the basketball team that my son, Dallas, plays on during the summer. I was once again asked to coach, and this will be the last summer that I will have this opportunity. We are currently in Pittsburgh, and we won our first game. I truly love coaching, but most importantly, I enjoy the chance to mentor and lead these young men. Many of them will be playing Division I basketball in two years, and I hope that I will be able to instill in them a desire to use their gifts and talents for the Glory of God…

Please pray for us as we travel and play throughout the summer…

Maranatha!

Moon Girls and Kerri

Written by admin on . Posted in children, ice cream, Kerri, Moon girls. No Comments on Moon Girls and Kerri


The Moon girls are baby sitting Kerri this week, or shall I say Kerri is baby sitting the Moon girls? Tom and Lisa Moon have 3 daughters and they are helping watch Kerri as Renee is back in Kansas City attending a funeral for a close friend of hers.
Yesterday, I took the girls to Maggie Moo’s after school. Needless to say, it was FUN. Kerri is 11. Taylor is 10. Haylee is 8. Elsie is 4. One of thee MOST important factors in raising children is to make sure your children’s peers are believers. It is always a joy to allow my children to be with other children who have personal relationships with Jesus Christ.
I want to thank Tom and Lisa for raising their children in the ways of the Lord.
And, by the way, these girls sure do like ice cream!!!

Birthday Girl

Written by admin on . Posted in birthday, celebration, children, Kerri. 1 Comment on Birthday Girl



Kerri turned 11 today. For 11 years, this child has been a total blessing to me and Renee. She invited some of her girlfriends to get manicures and then have some pizza together. I took a couple of pictures and came out of the salon, wondering how anyone can handle that strong smell of acrylic. Honestly, I was glad to get out of there alive. lol

My prayer for Kerri and all her friends is that they will always be friends with one another, but primarily be friends of God. And speaking of God…. I want to thank you, Lord, for blessing my life with one of the sweetest girls in all the world!

Happy birthday, Kerri…. and after this birthday… I want you to stop growing up so fast… You are the apple of my eye.

In love,
Dad

Marvelous Mollie

Written by admin on . Posted in babies, children, church members, parenting. No Comments on Marvelous Mollie


This is Mollie Chou. She is about as cute as they come, wouldn’t you agree?

She was born 6 weeks ago at 4 lbs., 10 oz. Today she is a whopping 7 lbs., healthy, adorable and wonderfully cared for by her parents, Eric and Katty Chou.

I met Katty at the post office and ended up performing her marriage ceremony in March of 2006. Eric is a heart surgeon and Katty serves as a medical personnel for a college. They both love the Lord dearly and have hopes and aspirations to raise little Mollie in the love and instruction of the Lord.

It is our prayer that through this little girl, God would make His love known to all.

Please keep little Mollie in your prayers, and lift Eric and Katty before the Lord that God might give them daily wisdom in the raising of this child.

My only concern for these proud parents are that they are a little confused about wanting this child to go to Pepperdine. Go Bruins!!!
