Cowboys vs. Browns Outing...

Hi! We had a really fun and quick trip to Dallas over the weekend to see the Browns play the Cowboys. I had never been in the new stadium and boy was it an experience.  Chance invited us to sit a box that belongs to one of his good friends. They were warm and welcoming and the food was yummy and looked beautiful. Quite a treat. We were blessed to be able to see Rachel for a minute and to see Colt after the game for a short visit.

One of the biggest blessings of Sunday though was worshiping  in Ft. Worth and hearing Rick Atchley speak. I am thankful for the words that were spoken and how our hearts were drawn closer to God. 
Thank you Rick.

Here are a few pictures from the football fun:







I have a pretty big opinion about the atmosphere that surrounds these games. I have been told to keep them to myself for the most part but I will just say that seeing this going on after the game was over (in the midst of lots of craziness) made me thank God for these men.

The end of a fun and very interesting day.
So thrilled to be able to spend time with family and make new friends. Thank you Chance!
Blessings on your week- let's get ready for Thanksgiving!!

This brought tears to my eyes. Just last week we looked up Colt to see what was happening in his career...my husband will so enjoy seeing this. We pray for him and continue to check on him as the Lord walks him through all this for His glory. What a delight for his family to come enjoy...and you got to see the new stadium...my kids have all enjoyed seeing going there.
Romo goes to our church and his little boy is in the nursery...God still controls all things...even sports!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

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...
