Meet Joseph:
He is the baby of the family in every sense of the word except that which is associated with anything negative! Joseph is witty, smart, and gifted by the Lord to memorize scripture with a speed and accuracy that blesses all who hear him recite. His heart is tender, and many times the Lord has used him to speak truth to the rest of us.
He enjoys fishing, playing baseball and football, traveling, swimming, hunting with Daddy, playing board games, doing his schoolwork, and having family parties. He is not ashamed to stand up and sing with all his might whether it’s before thousands of people, or in a small doctor’s office to cancer patients… because he knows that he’s singing for Jesus. Oh, yes—and he’s the reigning champion of Yahtzee.
Joseph-isms:
“I love me some steak!”
“Oh yeah!”
“Sweet!”
“Because basically…”
“Well, actually…”
Joseph, what do you want to be when you grow up?
A marine.
What one thing would you share with others that has greatly impacted your life?
“I’ve learned that it’s really bad to get angry and not love others. Also, God has taught me to try and speak nice words instead of bad ones. You have a choice how you treat your family and other people.”
