About MeDan and Stephanie met in January of 2000 while attending SBU. As they got to know each other they started dating. In January 2002, Dan purposed to Stephanie asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. She said yes and the story begins. August 10th, 2002, Dan and Stephanie were married in font of a large gathering of family, friends, and church members at First Baptist Church in Warrensburg Mo. For their Honeymoon they were blessed to go on a seven day cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman Island and Ocho Rios Jamaica. On March 22nd, 2004 Dan and Stephanie became parents to Josiah. When Josiah was a baby, he was very passive and seemed to pick things up pretty quickly. On May 13th, 2007 Mothers Day, Dan and Stephanie became parents again to Jackson. Jackson is our miracle baby. Born with Morganella, and now dealing with random seizures that the neurologist says he should grow out of when he’s 3 or 4. This has kept us on our knees, and we believe that God has a special plan for him. The Gould’s are currently in transition from Plano TX, where Dan served Grace Community Church as the Studentu0026hellip;

A Christ Follower[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxfaMqBsPKYu0026amp;hl=en_USu0026amp;fs=1u0026amp;] I am thrilled that you’ve checked out his blog and this page for that matter. I want to take just a moment and share with you about the most important decision you could ever make! Because this is so important, I have dedicated this page to explain how you can have a relationship with God. Here are some basics to get you started thinking about making a life-changing decision for Jesus Christ: 1. God created us because He LOVES us and wants us to ENJOY a personal relationship with Him. “Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be His through our union with Christ . . . because of His love, God had already decided that through Jesus Christ He would make us His children – this was God’s pleasure and purpose.” Ephesians 1:4-5 2. HOWEVER, there is a problem! You see, God is perfect, and we are imperfect! The Bible calls this imperfection “SIN.”* Our sin separates us from God, and it results in a consequence. That consequence is eternal separation from God.** The only way for us to enjoy a relationship with God is for us to be perfect ourselves–but nobody isu0026hellip;

Josiah aka Womanizer

So, today was valentine party day at MDO where Josiah goes to school. On Tuesday Night Stephanie had Josiah put his name on all of his classmates Valentine cards. As he was filling them out he asked if he could give one to Dani “his girlfriend”. Dani was the girl that Joe played with all last year. They were in the same class but this year they are not. So this morning, he went to the other class and gave her the Valentine present that he had picked out for her. Her eyes got real big when she saw him and saw the little heart shaped box of chocolates, Josiah got ready to walk away and she gave him a hug! It was a proud moment for the Gould boys. Josiah was on cloud 9 and I was so proud of him!

When I picked him up, Dani came into his classroom and gave him a special valentine. Again it ended with a hug. At this age it really cute and so innocent . . . I just hope I am not training him to be the womanizer that Brittany Spears describes in her song but a young man that will treat girls and women like a daughter of the King.

Here are some pics of him putting his classmates gifts together!
