Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, And attend to your herds; For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations. When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, and the herds of the mountains are gathered in, The lambs will provide your clothing, And the goats the price of a field; You shall have enough goat's milk for your food, For the food of your household, And the nourishment of your maidservants. Prov. 27:23-27

My Birthday Present!

We finally went out to town and bought it yesterday...


At the same time, we got the twins bikes repaired, they are very happy too! The one that Andrew is on (right), was my birthday present when I turned 7 ! It's been through a lot of kids since then, and the white seat and tires have been replaced and are now black.

Embrace the Cross!

Embrace the cross
Where Jesus suffered
Though it will cost
All you claim as yours
Your sacrifice will seem small
Beside the treasure
Eternity can't measure
What Jesus holds in store

Embrace the love
The cross requires
Cling to the one
Whose heart knew every pain
Receive from Jesus
Fountains of compassion
Only He can fashion
Your heart to move as His

Oh, wondrous cross our desires rest in you
Lord Jesus make us bolder
To face with courage the shame and disgrace
You bore upon Your shoulder

Embrace the life
That comes from dying
Come trace the steps
The Savior walked for you
An empty tomb
Concludes Golgotha's sorrow
Endure then till tomorrow
Your cross of suffering
Embrace the cross
Embrace the cross
The cross of Jesus

John G. Elliot 1989

Weekend Activities

For my birthday(yesterday, the 12th) I had my two Rachel friends over! That's Rachel K and Rachael B. We had lots of fun... (I'll try to post a picture of us all together later)
Here Mom is cutting the frozen cake, it was delicious though, very rich. Playing spoons on Sunday with lots of people...

We took a walk on the beach Saturday night.


On Saturday moring we biked with John and Becca to a sematary down the road, interesting place. We saw one stone that said the person had died in 1801. Some stones were so old you had to feel them to posibly make out the words.






We went for a 4-wheeler ride and walk to the woods.





And we did some swimming too.






This dude eats everything. We had these for dessert one night and he was happy to have Mom and Dad share their's with him.










Flowers again...
