James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their distress."
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

A New Driver!

Juan passed his learner's permit test, and we went to the the DMV and received his official learner's permit this past week so we have another new driver in the house!  We will start working with Juan, practicing in parking lots, and he will attend driving school, like his sisters did. Dainis and I bought a Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible for our 20th wedding anniversary gift to each other and have enjoyed it on trips and date nights. Unfortunately, we have not used it as much as we anticipated, and we decided to sell it to Juan.  He has worked hard at his job at La Loma independent living since this spring and earned enough money to buy it from us.  Our agreement with our kids when they start driving is they have to have a job in order to pay half of their insurance and put a little bit of their paycheck in a car maintenance fund each time they are paid. Until they graduate, we pay for the kids' gas to and from school and work and the other half of their insurance.  We are really proud of Juan and his hard work at saving his money!
