This is just a blog about my thoughts, my family, my everyday life. Because I am a Christian and have ups and downs like everyone else, I hope it will encourage others to either turn to Christ for the first time, or lean on Him when times are rough. Often life is just random and funny. I started this blog after many years of writing to my church about our vacations. They began to encourage me to blog and finally I am. Thanks for reading.

"Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace!" Nahum 1:15

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. John Piper

Campfires






Giant marshmallows
Recently, Tommy, my mom, and I went to Hardin, Texas to spend the evening with my brother and his family.  They have some acreage and whenever the temperatures drop, a campfire appears.  What is it about fires that is so appealing?  They are mesmerizing and make you just want to sit in front of them for hours...which is what we did.  Out came marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.  My mom thinks chocolate is one of the main food groups, so she was in heaven.  Stars filled the sky.  Why are they always so vivid in the country and absent in the city?  I really do know the answer to that, but still....
Molly, their oldest, is a firebug.  She was the keeper of the flame all evening.

I have always lived in the city, but sometimes I hear the call of the wild. I want the best of both worlds, I guess.  Maybe someday, when Tommy's preaching days are over, we could make a change like that. Until then, we have relatives we can visit.  Nice.
