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

Visiting Scott Territory

Not too long ago, we were invited to lunch in the Scott home. Our car is always greeted in the driveway by one or two smiling faces.  (They have nine children.)  Others came for a backyard swim and much fun.  The Scotts live in the country (meaning they have critters - wild and domestic - inside and out)...life at its best. Needless to say, we had a great time with them all.
Shortly after we arrived, an unwanted visitor was eliminated from the scene.  See, that's what happens when you show up uninvited.  Moral of the story: Don't eat the cats' food.


I took these spider pictures as I stood behind Tommy and leaned over him.  Notice Hannah backed up when Daniel took the lid off.








The welcome mat is always out for anyone who shows up at the door. They are gracious hosts and God's love is evident on each face.  Right now, Paul (no. 7) is in my Sunday School class.  So far this year, I have learned what kinds of snakes live in the desert, how to scare my mom while camping, and what to do if my boat ever springs a leak.
(Hopefully he has learned a little, too.)
Whatever lives in there will likely be bait for a fish someday.
