Some "Shout-Outs" to the Family

Hey Everyone!

First and foremost, I would like to welcome Adelina Rose Baty to the world, and to the Strohbehn family. She has NO idea what she has just gotten herself into (ie the Strohbehn family), but I'm excited for her!!!

Second, CONGRATULATIONS to Steve and Kristin, the brand new parents of such a beautiful baby girl, Adelina Rose.

Third, CONGRATULATIONS to Joe, Richard, Nick, Eino, Krystal and Darin on your respective graduations. Times of promotion and change can bring along uncertainty, but your time and efforts should also be appreciated, and certainly celebrated!

I'm excited for each of you as you continue to pursue your intests and work towards your goals. Changes, graduations and new opportunities can be fun, but also bring with them a degree of stress and uncertainty. But without sounding overly optimistic or naievely "rosy," it really can be good for us. After all, even when "life" doesn't turn out in ways we would have wanted or specifically planned for, we do have an awesome Creator looking out for us in ways we can't even fathom, nor ever fully appreciate. And it can be good to find rest in the faith that a loving God is always present.

Well done! Bravo to each of you!
