God Loves Rascals....and I Birthed One!
I should have known it when Baby Jason kicked out the first slat of his crib.....or when Toddler Jason brought the water sprinkler into the family room and turned it on full force (See "The Flood and the Fury") ......and especially when Grandma, age 80, protested, "Peg, I can watch one of these boys at a time, but not both - they are RASCALS!" The term "rascal" especially became an appropriate descriptive term for this ever-challenging, ever-mischievous child named Jason.On October 22, 1984, "the rascal" officially joined the family, welcomed with delight by Big Brother, now Dr. Joey (Scroll past "First Amendment Activites"), a mathematician with the USA government in the DC area. The Bohanon home became a wild and wacky zoo as two cute little boys grew up together with many memorable moments--and as Mom and Dad often "climbed the walls and prayed for grace!" (See the Bohanon Brain Center for a fun Joey-n-Jason page at Peggie's Place!)
We've watched Jason mature into a God-fearing young adult, ready to face a new life adventure with confidence in a loving Father Who's guided him from the start. We wait with baited breath to see what phenomenal plan He has for this gifted young man....OK, can a Mama brag just a bit? God has been so good! (Enjoy his 3-D graphics, along with more life stories: "God Loves His Kids" and "Left-handed Kid...Right-handed Lord!.)
And now it's time for Baby Bird (won't he love that identity!) to leave the nest and relocate to Northern California. We believe a bright future awaits him with God's open doors. It's all in God's perfect plan from the moment He told Mama, two years before his birth, "It's Done!"
I've learned alot in these 26 years of bird-feeding/raising such a whipper-snapper as Jason Bohanon. God not only LOVES rascals, He delights to USE them - you'd better believe it!
Rascals show creativity and mental energy for living life to the fullest. Rascals enjoy great imagination, sometimes oblivious to earthly practical matters. Rascals are DNA'd by God Himself......A seven-point acrostic explains! Why God Uses Rascals!
R ip-roarin' enthusiasm that mesmerizes an audience and creates a hook for Gospel presentation.
A mazing imagination that designs templates and tools useful for discipling others in God's Kingdom.
S anctified gifting God uses to communicate the Gospel in innovative ways to a listening audience.
C reative thinking skills that become a multi-dimensional tool in God's hands for effective ministry to others.
A dventurous personality that revels in unusual opportunities, great challenges and impossible situations.
L aughter-provoking, multi-faceted personality with expository skills that proclaim the deep thoughts of Scripture through fun 'n faith glasses and a life wholly committed to God.
S et apart and streamlined by God for eternal purpose--to win a world full of rascals for Him!
OK, Resident Rascal, it's time to go.......Go with God and with the love and pride of your family who will be watching with delight for the Father's plan to unfold....We love you!

Meet my Grandpa - Rev. ALFRED Coletti, after whom I am named (Jason Alfred Bohanon). I've got his name - and I've got his HAT......a cherished memory symbol of my awesome heritage. Grandpa was an amazing man of God and I want to be a man of God just like him!
