Walk the Plank!

Pirate Day at Reed's school.



Is that not the cutest pirate you've ever seen?

Life is good.

Just having a typical morning. Woke up and jumped straight in the shower. Come downstairs where Wes has coffee brewing. Pour myself a cup set it on the counter where is will get cold while I pour Cate some milk, break up a small skirmish among siblings, cut Wes' hair while High King Reed the Magnificent slashes me continually with his sword. After all this I heat my coffee back up in the microwave and sit down to check my email. All the while praising God for how wonderful I have it.

Now it's time to get ready for church. I am thankful we have a roof over our heads, warm clothes and food to eat. For a country where we have freedom of religion. Where we can own a bible, meet with fellow believers, share our faith, sing God's praises in public without fear of being hunted down and tortured or killed. Please pray for the persecuted church today.

Isaiah 58

Is Reed dancing or having a seizure?

If you need to find me this Sunday afternoon...

I'll be sitting on the couch watching the DAYTONA 500!!! Gentlemen start your engines. Boogity, boogity, boogity...let's go racing boys. Green flag, go, go, go!

Here's Jeff Gordon's new paint scheme.

Happy Birthday My Sweet Girl

I can't believe you are six years old. It seems just yesterday that I took this picture:



Now your have grown into such a beautiful, sweet little girl.

Seeing God in Nature

I love that my kids get excited about birds and God's beautiful creation. This morning we had to tear ourselves away from 20+ Goldfinches on the deck eating sunflower seeds so we could get Cate to school on time. Then the drive was so fascinating I had to remind myself to watch the road. The sun was shining on the frost and it looks like God had scattered millions of diamonds all over the grass and trees.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse (Rom. 1:20).

The lightbulb came on.

Reed has finally gotten interested in writing. Last Monday it was like his hand and his brain started working together and he wanted to write letters. Upper case, lower case... over and over. He was so excited. I was so proud.
