Big Events-All At Once...

Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Indiana's early morning dew
High up in the hills of California
Home is just another word for you
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
If I travel all my life
And I never get to stop and settle down
Long as I have you by my side
There's a roof above and good walls all around

I need you in my house 'cause you're my home.
You're my home.
Billy Joel

We celebrated our 25 Wedding Anniversary this month.
What a fantastic 25 years it has been.
My sweet husband sang me this song a long time ago.
I still love it.
Home is with him.
He represents everything that I love and find comfort in.
He loves God more than he loves me.
That makes it all just perfect.
Thank you honey- for being my home 
and for showing me a more clear picture of God. 
Thank you for cheering me on and walking with me into Glory some day.
So thankful we share this life together.


Another BIG event this month...
Our oldest gentle giant graduated!!
As I type this this morning he is out on a big job interview.
Thank you Father God for blessing him with a good job.
His graduation from Texas A&M was a celebration and a blessed happy day!
 With his sweetheart...
 Isn't she lovely?

 Gig em picture with the Aggie President.


This last major event is well, not monumental but none the less a big event.  Our youngest gentle giant went from LOOOOOOOONG hair to this classic, hollywood :) hair cut.
He is handsome either way but boy- this looks great!

Awesome words to leave you with today:
As Christians- we are the only religion in the world that has a leader that is ALIVE!

 We get to live after we die. Amazing!
Only because of the saving grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ!
Great news and we walk with joy!

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
