Some times in life the Lord sends you some very special people to help you do what He wants you to do. Twenty-six years ago, my family moved from Chattanooga, Tenn to Spokane, Washington to start our church. On our way we stopped in a little town called Pasco, Washington. At the time the Pastor of the church was Dr. Dallas Dobson. God used this man to motivate and encourage my Dad. At that time, the Co-Pastor of the Riverview Baptist Church was a man named John Paisley. Over the years, we have seen Dr. Dobson go home to heaven and Pastor Paisley become the Pastor of the church. We have also spent time in the Paisley's home and their daughters have been a great encouragement to Christa and me. Deb encouraged me in playing the piano and Liz is an encouragement more than words can tell. You may be thinking, "What does all of this have to do with a post about a baby. Well, six months ago, Deb had a little baby boy. His name is Travis. Travis was born at 26 weeks and weighed 1.7 pounds. He was in the ICU for three months and at one point the doctors told Deb to prepare herself that Travis might not make it. Through the power of God and His healing hand. Travis is doing well today and growing. He is off all tubes and breathing helps. He does have a heart monitor but the doctors have said that Deb and Wes can take it off any time they feel comfortable. Travis is truly a little miracle baby. Deb has been here is Washington visiting with her family and is flying home today. My dad, mom, and I went to the airport to see Deb and the baby. Here are a few pictures of the cutie himself. Enjoy!!!!!!!
