He is LIGHT and LIFE and TRUTH! Look to Him for the ALL the answers. He will guide us, if we'll let Him.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Creation Calls

Pretty amazing and powerful! I took these pictures last Wednesday night after church in FWC's parking lot.
The lightning display reminded me of this song....and how awesome our God is!


By Brian Doerksen


I have felt the wind blow,
Whispering your name
I have seen your tears fall,
When I watch the rain.

How could I say there is no God?
When all around creation calls!!
A singing bird, a mighty tree,
The vast expanse of open sea

Gazing at a bird in flight,
Soaring through the air.
Lying down beneath the stars,
I feel your presence there.

I love to stand at ocean shore
And feel the thundering breakers roar,
To walk through golden fields of grain
With endless bloom horizons fray.

Listening to a river run,
Watering the Earth.
Fragrance of a rose in bloom,
A newborns cry at birth.

I love to stand at ocean shore
And feel the thundering breakers roar,
To walk through golden fields of grain
With endless bloom horizons fray

I believe
I believe
I believe

I believe
I believe
I believe just like a child

My First Attempt at Making Preserves/Jam



Last week my Mother-n-love and I made some peach preserves/jam. This was my first time to make any type of preserves/jam. Wow! It takes a ton of sugar to make jam. Warning: sugar can be harmful to your health. I think we put up about 7 or 8 batches in all.

We made 2 batches without any sugar. We used Agave Nectar instead--it's very good--I was surprised. If I can justify the cost, I may make most of my jams this way in the future.

A Day At The Lake....










We tried to get a good picture of all 4 cousins.....

but, well it was difficult to say the least...LOL!

You should have heard Lora-Joy and me..."Caleb, look over here. Look at Mommy."

"Hannah watch what we are doing...look at us not Caleb."

"Caleb!"

"Avery, Landon...look up here! Don't look at Caleb, look at the camera!"

Ha!

Poppie & Nanny Boo Boo




Landon is here for a visit......We've been having fun!







He put together an awesome train track with Caleb's train set while we were at Nanny Boo Boo and Poppie's house on Thursday night. He is wonderful with Caleb. He's been very helpful and all around great to have with us.

I should have gotten a few pictures of Avery when he was here a few weeks ago--bummer!!! We had a lot of fun together, too. I know he's had a great time this week at Beach Camp!!

Can't wait to see him and A. DeDe tomorrow at the lake.

Hannah's Swim Lessons




Today was her last day--she has done so well, we may do another week in July. We just found out today that there may be another class then. I'm considering putting Caleb in the classes, too.







Well...I tried to get the pic of her going off the diving board. Here's Paige standing with her and "helping" her off the board.....but, um...well, where's Hannah in the next picture? Oops! She went so fast I missed her.
