Twin: a person or thing that is exactly like another.

February 1st, many years ago, Siainiu Liu Katina gave birth to John and James affectionately known in the home as, “The Twins”. Mom used to dress them exactly alike. They continued this practice on their own all the way up until middle school. They were connected at the hip to say the least. They are both passionate about their families. Both of them love the Steelers, the Lakers and the USC Trojans. They love fried chicken and rice. Most importantly, they love Jesus with all of their heart. No question, they share a special bond that continues to grow even at the mature age of…….We’ll let them share that on their own blog.

Although they are twins, contrary to what Mr. Webster says, those that know them well would agree that they are NOT exactly like the other. Yes, they share many common interests. However, both of them are remarkable in their own distinct ways. Perhaps at another time, we’ll share with you some of those unique differences.

James and John, we honor you today. You have been an inspiration to so many. You each represent what it means to be loyal, faithful, consistent, hard working, obedient, true and loving. It has been a blessing to watch you become husbands, Dads and the men of God that you are. Thank you for using your own life experiences to bring hope to those of us that live with you, those that work with you and to the Kuzins from all over the world who’ve grown to love you.

We love you both. You each hold a special place in all of our hearts. We thank you for teaching us what it means to “prefer one another”, while remaining strong as a unit. You’ve taught us all, “That even though we’re different, we’re the same”!

Happy Birthday Twins!

We love you,

Chrissy, Jackson, Dylan, Haylee, Rylee, Sharee, Zion, Jett, River, Steele, Blaze and the rest of us

The Katinas & Kuzins Cruise 2012 will definitely go down as our best cruise event, yet. 300 Kuzins came from all around the world for 4 days of fellowship, food, fun, concerts, devotions & so much more. The best part was the many friendships that were made between the Kuzins. Next year’s cruise to The Bahamas promises to be just as spectacular and we hope that many of you will be able to join us.

Have you heard the new word coined in the sport’s world just last week?  Much like “bling bling” became authenticated several years back, the new one brewing is, “Tebowing”.

Tebowing

(vb) to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.

I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but I’m sending my vote in to Mr. Webster.

Tim Tebow is the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos.  He’s frequently ridiculed by most of the media and people who think they know something about football.  (You know those Monday morning quarterbacks who know it all but have never played a down in the NFL?)  They criticize his mechanics and question whether he should even be a QB in the pros.  After leading his team to victory a few Sundays ago, he immediately took a knee and prayed while everyone else around him was going crazy, celebrating the win.  Hence the word; “Tebowing”.

I can’t comment on his technique or athletic abilities since I’ve never played a down.  (I still have dreams though.)  However, may I strongly suggest to the world of sports but especially to those of us who are believers.  One thing for sure is that we all could use a lot more “Tebowing” these days.  Our families, marriages, schools, churches, communities, work places and entire nation would be much better off if we all stopped “occupying” and started “Tebowing”.  (Pun intended.)

We are becoming a nation of “finger pointing” instead of taking responsibility for what we’ve brought upon ourselves.  It’s time that we start taking inventory of our own lives, stop blaming everyone else and becoming the change that we want to see.  Once we do, we will quickly recognize that most of the healing that needs to take place begins within ourselves.

2 Chronicles 7:14 puts it plainly:  “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Are you sick?  Is your marriage in trouble?  Do you need a job?  Are you feeling lonely, depressed and don’t know what to do.  Are you having problems with your teenager?  Maybe your teenager thinks you’re the problem?  Perhaps things are exceptional in your life and you just need to “take a knee” to thank God.   Whatever your situation may be, take time out and start “Tebowing”.
