Snow, PLEASE and...Thanks for the Peace...

Snow like this is what we are hoping for today: (Just a little Calvin humour.)

 So far it's just cold wet rain. But...rain or snow, it is nice because this is what is going on...

It's hard to see that there is a big ole' tired seventeen year old boy fast asleep on this cozy couch by the fire. ( I did not want to use the flash for fear it would wake the sleeping giant.) All activities have been called off for the rest of the day because of the prediction of snow or ice or whatever. All I know is it is just wonderful to be home and snuggled in and slowing down for a little while.

Makes me wonder if we are just too busy when we all breathe a sigh of relief that the weather is calling a halt to everything. Maybe we should just slow down on our own.

Blessings on your evening wherever you are. I pray it is peaceful and calm and a time of rest and fun with your loved ones. Come on snow!! I'll take another one of these days tomorrow! Blessings. Amy

It's snowing here...JB and I made a run to the grocery store and the gas station. I just didn't have time to get that all in yesterday in between basketball games. We need the moisture so badly here...we'll take the snow.

I am happy to be home and in for the night...I think you are exactly right...we need to slow down on our own.
Have a cozy evening...that fire looks wonderful!

Perfectly put . . . we are awaiting the snow here in TN! School has already been called off, so I am hunkered down at the house with the kids watching college basketball. Ready for a wonderful day of whatever is brought our way tomorrow!

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! 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

Image
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
