We give thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for giving us our 2nd daughter CHRISTEN on May 4, 1987, in East Lansing, MI. It was just four months before we moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL when Christen became the 6th member of our family.

I remember very well when we were going to call her "Kristen", and the Lord Jesus Christ distinctly said her name was to be spelled with "CH" and to be named "Christen", for she would love Him. And so she does!

We love our Christen, and are very proud of her.
