Most people don’t know this about me
In 1918, when I was a 40-year-old pipe fitter for the city of San Diego, I was drafted into World War I.

Gliebe
The other day we were trying to figure out the meaning of our last name, Gliebe.
Cindy told us that “LIEBE” means LOVE, so I decided that “G” means GOD.
And so GLIEBE represents John 3:16.
“For GOD (G)so LOVED (LIEBE) the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him, will not perish but will have everlasting life.”
He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed.
February Fun

February was a load of fun. Our friends from Minnesota the Sea-Birds, I mean the Sieberts and us went to En Fuego and took a stroll in Del Mar. Valentine’s Day was romantical and delicious. Last weekend we celebrated Mom’s Birthday at PF Changs hence the photos by the horse. Here we present a collage of fun pictures, which by the way, are not in order.
Members…at last!
Last night we were officially welcomed as members at church. It was done during a Dessert Fellowship were Pastor Jeremiah tells the congregation where we’ve been and where we are heading in 2007.
Pastor showed a very nice slide show of the Bible distribution we did in April, to our surprise most of the pictures shown were pictures Steven took and submitted right after the event. It was so exciting to see his great photography up on giant screens.
Our hosts were Jim and Glenda Parker, they hosted a table with 10 guests, we were right in the front. Two hundred and fifty new members were welcomed and recognized. It was a full house, 1,500 people. All that to say it was a memorable and very special evening.
Lucy’s Birthday
Earlier this month we went to Irvine Spectrum Center for Lucy’s birthday. We ate at P.F. Chang’s. Without further delay, here are the pictures.
New Year Photos
Here are our New Year’s photos. We went to church and Panera Bread then had Sudi’s famous homemade vegetarian Lasagna for dinner that night. With blueberry cider and cherries. 
I’m trying “PictoBrowser” to pull our pictures from flickr. I think it’ll cause less stress on browsers since it doesn’t automatically download all photos upon loading.
Christmas 2006

We went to Church on Christmas Eve for the candle lighting service then had Christmas at Mom & Dad’s house with all the Gliebes, Lucy, Bob, Mark and David. It was a lot of fun.
SudiRoo got me Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, a book light, “Go Fish” cards, a super portable tripod and a flickr Pro account (unlimited photo storage space, etc.). It really is the best way to store, organize and share your photos (has an API too). Sudi got some perfume, all kinds of purses, lots of clothes, boots and a custom CD. Lucy got a bunch of Joyce Meyer tapes and some other goodies. I made two oil paintings for Dan and Mom & Dad. Lucy made us beautiful oil painted aprons and brought the Gliebes some of that fine Mexican chocolate.
Here are our Christmas-time pictures, powered by my new flickr account (which is where we’ll upload all our future photos). Or, visit the actual Christmas 2006 gallery on flickr.

Give Thanks
The Thanksgiving message from Pastor Jeremiah was superb. A timely reminder of what Thanksgiving is. A time for family and close relationships, a time to remember the blessings God has given us, a time to reflect on what this past year has brought, and a time to respond by giving to those who are less fortunate. My favorite part of the message however was an excersice he gave us to do.
Make a list of all the blessings God has given you, include at least 15-20 items.
Once the list is done, erase or delete each item and picture what your life would be like if you didn’t have that particular blessing.
After you have deleted all items, write them ALL again and thank the Lord with a grateful heart.
The greatest blessings in our lives are those that we are so tempted to take for granted.
As pastor said, it has been found that the degree to which a person is blessed is proportionate to the degree to which that person is ungrateful. Give a homeless person a piece of bread and he will be far more grateful than a rich man at a lavished banquet.
But souldn’t it be the other way? Shouldn’t those of us who have been given so much be the most grateful?
