On Sunday, December 9, 2012 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, my wife Patricia and I received "The Governors Award for Excellence in Service" from Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels. The award was presented by Lt. Governor Becky Stillman. The award recognizes individuals who have "made significant contributions to the Indiana community, and give time and talents out of an abiding sense of responsibility, commitment and concern for others."

We received the awards as part of the annual "McMiracle on 38th Street" Christmas community charity event hosted by local McDonald's owner/operators, Reginald & Tracey Jones, which we support every year. This year, some 650 bicycles and helmets were given to children in the name of our Lord Jesus! Families also receive Gospel literature and prayers.

The recognition was a pleasant surprise! We are certainly content to serve the Lord by helping people, serving other organizations, operating community-based ministries, and working "behind the scenes," but it was encouraging to be recognized in this manner.

It was a blessed day!
