A Martin Minute

What is 2018 going to hold for our crew?  Well . . . we are about to find out! Some of our favorite things will continue . . . SPORTS! SCHOOL! (most days) NEIGHBORS! (running from house to house) AU Football! WAR EAGLE! BIBLE STUDY! And we will have some big changes . . .  HIGH SCHOOL! KINDERGARTEN! A NEW DRIVER! (well, learner's permit) TRY OUTS! (for school teams, bigger teams) But, whatever this year holds the Martins will do it all together, as a family, as a team. We pray your family has a year of first & favorites.   A year that you will look back on & know you did right & true.

Philippians 4:8 Happy New Year! ~ the Martins

"looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,  who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,  despising  the shame, and  is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 Merry Christmas!  We pray this little letter finds you with family celebrating the gift of Jesus.
