John and Heather Hack are a young married couple and proud parents of two beautiful children; Jacob Riley (2 yrs old) and Madelyn Grace (1 yr old)…well make that three beautiful children as we are expecting our third child in September. Currently living on the outskirts of Savannah, GA; John is employed at a large business jet manufacturing plant and Heather is a stay-at-home mommy. Growing in their Catholic faith (John’s a recent “revert” to the church and Heather’s a soon-to-be convert), their daily walk can be followed here on www.catholicfamilyjournal.com.
Oooh…. after words… I just saw that there are four children. Beautiful… we are available for babysitting. And congrats to the revert (been there, done that, and now a deacon) and to the soon-to-be convert… I am so happy for you… may you be blessed on this journey.
Thank you Deacon Tom for your wonderfully kind words.
Hey guys, Bro Jer and the Naner checking in!
Just want to let you know that I am paying attention, listening, watching, but so busy that I am unable to spend much time letting others know how much I appreciate what they are doing. While there is much I would like to say. it is better, I believe, if all of us who take the time to look at what others write, or Tweet, or post on FB or Plurk, to at least stop and say Hi, and not just do a drive by!
With seven children of my own, and after watching the video and seeing myself some twenty plus years ago, I do want to stop and pray, and ask you for a favor.
Please, do not ever take each other for-granted, nor loose in all the busyness that children and ministry can bring, the simplicity and passion that I see in you guys now! It is very hard to hold onto. Yet, it will be the little things that hold you together for whatever may come. Treasure the sleepless nights and crying babies. Know it is Ok, to not be “OK” sometimes. For the days will come when the sleepless nights, and the crying babies, will be but a memory… for life truly does pass by very quickly. Take time for each other, and take time for self as well. For we can not give what we do not have, so be sure to draw your strength from the peace that those treasured moments alone with the Lord can bring.
Lord, I ask you to bless this family as they take the risk of sharing their lives with others. That they may be great witnesses for your Kingdom, and they will know that You, Lord Jesus, have a perfect plan for them. I thank you Lord for what You are doing here right now, even in leading me to share just a bit, it is You we are trying serve.
In Jesus Name…Amen!
Bro Jer
just to let ya know….I HATE TYPING!
so it is work for me to pause and share with others from behind a keyboard! 140 works well! prolly why I like Twitter

Deacon Pat
