EXTRA Special Thanks to Ozarks Cultured Marble

We want to thank Ozarks Cultured Marble for their purchase of 50 t-shirts. This was a huge help that put us in a position to donate a little to our church and other causes. Without that purchase we would not have accomplished much more than breaking even. Thank you Jeremy Prosser and the Ozarks Culture Marble family.

Welcome to Get it GOD it Good

This is our first post on Get it GOD it Good. Because my focus is on getting some t-shirts ready for September 22 I will limit this blog entry to WELCOME and I hope you come back to visit our Supporting Scriptures and blogs soon.

Special Thanks!

We have receive lots of great phone calls and emails about the t-shirt and website. The website is far from where I would like it to be for an introduction, but you have to start somewhere. Yes, there are probably typing errors and spelling errors. I am a Speller-N-Training as well as a Christian-N-Training. I have improved on my spelling over the years, but still make some stupid mistakes.

I want to thank everyone for your support and purchasing t-shirts. I can't wait to see people wearing them around town.

I want to give some special thanks to those that helped in some way or another to make this come together. Some people helped simply by not telling me it was a stupid idea. Those that I would like to give special credit to are as follows:

Tanner - Obviously first on the list. You made me a better person. Sorry I could not be better when you were here. If there are ranks in heaven I am sure you will be leaps above me and you can have me to chores and pushups.

Kim, Lacey and Hannah - The time I have spent on this has taken away from time that I would much rather spend with you. I have also sacrificed some billable hours which makes paying the grocery bill a little more painful. Sorry about that. I will just over bill a few clients to make up for it. Joking!

David Greer - I believe he was the one that said something about providing supporting scriptureson the website which is a huge part of what makes this unique. I am sure Tammy Greer said something helpful too because she always has something good to add. Believe it or not that is a compliment Tammy.You and all your family have helped us with so much. Great friends that happen to be neighbors.

James River Assembly of God - Wonderful people that were there for us at our time of need. Eric Porter in particular. You made the funeral the best it could be. Your smile and love for kids was obvious when you first walked into our home. Your kindness and confidence on where Tanner sits in Heaven is what we needed. Scotty, you brought Kim and I down from the balcony to dedicate ourselves to a life of learning about, appreciating and praising God. I know it is nice when our children do that for us so why should we treat our creator differently. John, you just rock. Not that Scotty and the others don't rock too. The first service I heard of yours I was hooked. I love to learn and you have a way of teaching with a touch of preaching. I don't feel like I am being damned to hell, but I know that I need to be working on my escape pod to heaven.

Steve Garde, Jeff Rinhold, Brad Toft & the Mustangs - Thanks for all you did for Tanner. You were an extended family for him and for myself. I miss the practices, games and fun that Tanner had with all of you.

I also want to thank Jim Raynor and the Tomahawks for the first few years of baseball.

Ty McClean - Tanner's best friend. Thank you for that. You were a true friend always treated him respectfully. As hard as it is to see you at times I love having you around. Do NOT stop coming by and don't give up on us going bow hunting someday. We must do that in Tanner's honor since that is something he really wanted to do. Stay strong and be good.

Carver Football Team - I know you didn't win all your games last year for Tanner, but it was sure nice to see. Pull off a few for him again this year.

The Stanley's and Carver PTA - Thank you for the fund set up in Tanner's name. We continue to think of you and pray for you and your family.

Charlyce, Jennifer, Kay, Linda and Matt of the HBA of Greater Springfield - Thank you for all your support and also setting up a fund for Tanner. The fund and mental support helped us pull through when we were not sure we could. You are a great bunch of people!

Now for a list of those people that helped me with my faith on a roll:
Bill Perkin
Shannon McMurtrey & Bryan Whitaker
Jake Petefish
David Vogenthaler and all of Bass Print Solutions
Lisa Miller
Gary Miller - Who unknowingly helped me come up with the idea for a Christian or Hippocrites t-shirt that will be posted next.
Pam and Dwayne Gaunt

I have to get back to work so I will finish this list up later. Sorry if I have not included you yet
