Sweet Saturday...In Pictures & Friday Night Football

I went out the front door a few minutes ago to turn the sprinkler off and spied this lovely butterfly. I ran back in to grab my camera and took some fun shots of this happy little guy. God must have had a wonderful time designing butterflies. He must really love us to make something so lovely and intricate for us to delight over. This butterfly is out there enjoying the warm sunshine and the last of the flowers in their autumn beauty. Thank you Father!





The sun coming through the pines

Sunsets at away games are so fine. This one was beautiful.
Spooky smoke that hung over the stands and field after the boys ran out of the smoky dragon tunnel.
Pep talk after a tough loss.

Both teams praying the Lords Prayer after the game. So. Very. Cool.
Blessings! Amy

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
