This is our story of opening our home to minister to young military men and women for the past 18 years. Our hope is that some who read the book will be inspired and motivated to replicate what we do here in other parts of the country.<br />

I wrote the book because I believe God told me to through Habakkuk 2:2 that says, "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets so that he who reads it can run with it."John and Yvonne Wagnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204104165269285741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675318079319979310.post-16518718875114251382018-09-08T12:20:00.000-07:002018-09-08T12:20:45.679-07:00Yvonne and My First Rugby MatchSeptember 8, 2018<br />
<br />
Madison Cronin invited us to watch her Women's Rugby match today. Now, you have to understand Yvonne and I know NOTHING about Rugby! But we thought the invite was nice and decided to go.<br />
<br />
Looked like a football game on steroids without the helmets and shoulder pads. Now we have to do a little YouTubing so we can learn a little bit about what we saw!<br />

<br />
We all hunkered down in the house this morning while the Virginia Paving Company put new asphalt down on our street.<br />
<br />
When they got done about mid-day Josh went on leave and went up to Washington DC...you know, for the Cubs game this weekend. Todd went to work.<br />
<br />
Tonight we had salad with tuna for dinner, and tapioca pudding for dessert.<br />
<br />
Then we played a fierce game of Scrabble with Yvonne winning - again.<br />

That was followed by a movie called "Hidden Places" the story of a widow and her two children, an orange grove, and a drifter. It's a really good show with a happy ending!<br />

<br />
After going to bed after 1:00 this morning we all slept in today! It was, after all, a holiday right?<br />
<br />
Josh, Yvonne and I spent two and a half hours having devotions together this morning. We were talking about being Christians being Perfect after watching a video about it on Youtube.<br />
<br />
Had breakfast at about 2:00. Talk about a late start to the day right? Then we watched American Pickers all afternoon.<br />
<br />
Todd Williams came in this evening for a week of Reserve duty. We haven't seen him in several months.<br />
<br />
And here it is 9:30 pm and we just finished dinner - the avocado, tomato, cucumber, onion, and cilantro salad I posted on here a while back. I still love that salad!John and Yvonne Wagnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204104165269285741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675318079319979310.post-38874370902737083492018-09-08T11:31:00.000-07:002018-09-08T11:37:36.199-07:00Josh Is Back From Sea!September 2, 2018<br />
<br />
We didn't have our normal Sunday today. Yvonne and I stayed at church to join in the celebration of Pastor Steve and Annamaria Bergfeld's daughter getting ordained as a minister in the Church of God.<br />
<br />
Josh Ellinor is staying with us between his underways for a few weeks. When we got home from church he was home too from the church he attended. We sat and watched the Chicago Cubs play the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cubs won 8-1! It was 2-0 at the top of the 6th inning. Then they scored 2 runs in the 6th and 4 runs in the 8th inning. Go Cubs!!<br />
<br />
Then the DQ Blizzard commercials finally got to us. We went out to get ice cream. But the DQ we normally go to on Independence Blvd. had their ice cream machines down! So we had to go to the one on Holland Road. They were good - the new Reese's Blizzard.<br />
<br />
The Yvonne suggested we play a game. We played Skip-Bo and then Mexican Train Dominoes. Finally, we found a movie that Josh hadn't seen yet - "Horatio Hornblower: Duty" with Ioan Gruffudd (he stared in "Amazing Grace" and "Fantastic Four").<br />
<br />
By then it was midnight and we decided to go to bed.John and Yvonne Wagnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204104165269285741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675318079319979310.post-81012547735289352042018-09-08T11:15:00.001-07:002018-09-08T11:19:52.893-07:00Episode 1 Trailer: In The BeginningAugust 20, 2018<br />
<br />
John and Jass Ortiz and Jacob Lentz joined us yesterday. We ate roast beef, carrots and potatoes for dinner along with home made wheat bread. Then it was chocolate chip pie with ice cream and hot fudge sauce for dessert.<br />
<br />
While we ate dessert we watched Superbook - episode 1 "In The Beginning". Watch the trailer. We had an interesting discussion afterwards about the origin of Lucifer and temptation. Definitely worth watching, and NO it isn't just for kids!<br />

Yvonne always tries to make a person's favorite meal for their birthday. After checking around, Yvonne found out for Wilson that was cheeseburgers and vanilla shakes. So that's what she made!<br />
<br />
Jaime actually made the milk shakes...they were goooood!<br />
<br />
Jacob, who is 8 years old, knew it was a "party" so he pulled out a lot of our board games and set them up all over the house for people to play. It was so cute! What a GREAT kid!!!<br />

After dinner we watched the video of Nick Vujicic's testimony. He is the man born without arms and legs, but is so inspirational in the lives of so many others sharing his faith in Jesus Christ who gives him hope and purpose for his life! Awesome testimony!<br />

The conference was hosted by Eastside Praise Church of God. Their sanctuary made a beautiful setting for the conference! The worship services were awesome and uplifting! Several of the movement's founders were present (seated in the front row). A powerful and spiritually uplifting weekend. Although personally, I think there needs to be a much bigger Navy presence next time!<br />

Pastor Steve Bergfield preached about the first communion service - in the Old Testament (read Genesis 14 and Hebrews 7). He talked about Melchizedek (try pronouncing that one!) and who he really was - an appearance of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.<br />
<br />
Afterward the congregation had their first Sunday of the month pot luck dinner on the grounds. The food was great! Dessert too!<br />
<br />
Then Yvonne suggested we go "prayer driving" on Dam Neck Base! I got a chocolate attack and had to stop at the exchange on base for a "chocolate fix". God had a divine appointment waiting for us. We went in to look at the MWR Liberty Center in the exchange complex. One of the center employees came over and asked if he could help us. So we introduced ourselves to him and started chatting. Before we knew it, we were in an awesome conversation about Jesus Christ and the Gospel message. We shared our testimonies with him, what we did in our ministry, and the Gospel message.<br />
<br />

<br />
Our Naval Reservist 'son' came in here from Lynchburg for his drill weekend. Helping to keep our country safe! I already feel safer just having him here!<br />
<br />
Tonight, Saturday, after Todd got home from work we ate hamburgers and chips while we watched the OHIO STATE/PENN STATE football game. What a nail biter!!! Ohio state was so far behind all the way to the third quarter I wrote them off! Then in the last quarter they came alive and won the game by 1 point! Score was 39 to 38! Wow!<br />
<br />

This is a really interesting series. Makes you thing about the question: "What would Jesus look like and how would he behave if He were alive and physically walking among us today?"<br />
<br />
Sunday afternoon Madison Cronin and Megan Sparks came over from the USS Leyte Gulf.<br />
<br />
We ate home made rosemary bread, vegetable lasagna, salad, and for dessert apple crisp! Delicious!! Then we watched the movie "Facing the Giants" and finally, we had prayer together.<br />

<br />
It's been a long time since I've updated our blog and decided it was high time! Too many irons in the fire I guess.<br />
<br />
But anyway, we had an awesome day going to the Norfolk Naval Base to welcome back the USS Leyte Gulf from deployment. We connected with Madison Cronin's parents - Patrick and Erica in the tent set up on the pier. It was fun talking story and getting to know them.<br />
<br />
John Ortiz came to welcome her back too. Talk about one big happy family!<br />

<br />
Josh Ellinor invited one of his coworkers, Danielle Felone, to join us for our weekend activities. Todd Williams was here for his Reserve duty weekend, and Bethany Lokey was here too. We ate hot dogs and chips and Klondike bars for dessert.<br />
<br />
Then it was on to a rousing game of Attack Uno!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Danielle pressed the button and got cards shot at her. Then she checked inside to see if there were any more cards that didn't come all the way out. She picked up the game real quick!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In case you're curious whose arms are at the right of the picture - they were Todd's. See him at the right of the picture? It was Danielle's turn to shuffle.<br />

After eating and playing we went into the living room to pray. When we shared prayer requests Danielle wanted to know how to get a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I shared Revelation 3:20 and other scriptures with her and then prayed for her. She said she felt really calm and peaceful after we prayed. Sunday morning she came to my Sunday School class where I was able to explain the plan of salvation more fully.<br />
<br />
And finally, the weekly mustache photo update.<br />

<br />
This is a game in which you make words in all sorts of directions using letter cubes. They get shaken up in a cage, and then you get three minutes to make as many words as you can. Unfortunately, if someone else gets the same word no one gets credit for it. You can go up or down, diagonally, or in a square or in a zigzag pattern. You just can't use the same letter twice in the same word.<br />

When we got up there I didn't think it would be much cooler up north than it was in Virginia. So Friday, for the rehearsal it was pretty cool. But Saturday turned out to be beautiful! God really blessed the couple with beautiful blue skies, sunshine, and warm temperatures. So let me share some of the pictures we took with you.<br />

Bob and Christina got married in Gilboa, <span style="font-family: inherit;">Ohio on the Blanchard River Bridge. This part of Ohio is some of the most beautiful farm land I have been in in many years! So it made perfect sense for the happy young couple to be married surrounded by family members and decorations from the family farm (with a touch of Bob's stint in the Navy).</span><br />

OK, wait! Just in case you're not familiar with the Gilboa mascot...let me introduce you to the Gilboa bull. He is the 20 foot tall figure that stands prominently beside the highway, that everybody uses to give directions. Everything in Gilboa is directed by where you turn when you see the bull!<br />

Several people won a round, so we let the clock determine when we quit. No real winners and losers this week. Although, we NEVER have any losers...only one winner. :)John and Yvonne Wagnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204104165269285741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675318079319979310.post-33795287938957768942017-05-05T15:59:00.000-07:002017-05-05T15:59:24.099-07:00Taco Salad and Scrabble!April 30, 2017<br />
<br />
Last week Josh Ellinor and John Ortiz came over and since there were four of us I pulled down a game we've never played on a Saturday night - Scrabble!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So we fixed ourselves Taco Salads or Tacos (whichever was preferred) and ate dinner. Josh shows off his colorful work of culinary delight. But, do you notice what else he is showing off? And no, that isn't taco sauce on his upper lip! He's actually sporting a new mustache!<br />

Sunday we had chicken, roasted potatoes, and green beans. Dessert was cinnamon rolls. Just after we ate, the door bell rang and Ruth Davis was standing there! Ruth is Andrew Davis' mom. She was bearing German cookies to boot! We had a nice time catching up with her. She and Mike came to visit Andrew when he was staying with us way back in 2009. She and Mike are really active in supporting our troops in Illinois.<br />
<br />
By now you know me...I have to have pictures. Words alone just don't seem enough. Here are a couple of pictures of Ruth and Mike when they were here back then and Andrew too playing Attack Uno!<br />

<br />
No, I didn't misspell the word Lego. There is a board game called Logos. It's basically a trivia game that finds out how familiar you are with the advertising and logos associated with common products you use all the time! It's fun, and there are so many times that you feel like slapping yourself because you should have known that.<br />

But, before we played the game we ate! Yvonne took the left over lamb from Easter Sunday and made Gyros! And yum were they good! Yvonne even looked up the recipe and made the tzatziki sauce.<br />

<br />
Tonight it was Josh, John, Yvonne and me again. We pulled out our RISK game tonight. We haven't played that game in ages! I took Yvonne out of the game and got her cards, which gave me a bunch of new armies.<br />
<br />

<br />
And then John took me out, which gave him a lot of new armies. That left Josh and John to battle it out! If you look at the board you can see there's pretty much only one color left.<br />

Then John moved through Asia and conquered Josh. Just check out the major wall of armies, cavalry, and artillery that swept across Asia in the right side of the picture. John came, he saw, and he conquered!</div>

OK, this is probably the hardest part of our ministry - saying goodbye to our sons and daughters! Andrew Raffety is leaving. He's saying goodbye to active duty and opening a new chapter in his life - heading to the university.<br />

So, since Andrew's birthday was on April 2nd, we had a birthday party for him. Yvonne asked him what he would like for his birthday meal and he said it didn't matter. But when she asked what kind of cake he wanted, well right away he said "Your cinnamon rolls!" He really likes the Civil War era so we gave him a book on the...yup! You guessed it - the Civil War.<br />
<br />
Bethany and Cristian were here too!<br />

All except for saying farewell to Andrew, it was a fun evening!<br />
<br />
I was trying to take a selfie so I could post a picture of my mustache, but I am terrible at taking selfies, so Bethany came around and took one for me, with me!<br />
