The Great Flood of 2011

All of these photos are taken around Pea Ridge....

Big Sugar is east of town.  The others are just north past our house....

Oh My!

I am little behind in updating this thing....oh well.  I have a few things I need to post, so be on the lookout....This is testing week at school, AND both the twins and Berkeley start games this week, so we are pretty stinkin' busy.  Maybe this weekend I will have a little down time to get this thing updated....

Quite Appropriate

Now, I am not one to post a bunch a Bible stuff or push my beliefs upon anyone.  I feel that how someone worships and what they believe is an individual preference, and who am I to judge.  BUT, today's Gospel reading was so powerful to me today, and could not have come at a better time in our lives.  And THIS one reading will not come around in the liturgy for 94 more years in the cycle of readings.  I mean, really, with all that we are dealing with and up against, this could not have been more fitting as assurance that everything will work itself out as long as we put our worries in the good Lord's hands....

Matthew 6:24-34 (New International Version, ©2010)


24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


WOW. So, yeah....

SNACKS!

Before I forget.  This is total blog-worthy.  So, we were at church last Sunday (yes, I needed to have posted sooner).  Bennett and McKinley go to Children's Chapel while Bill, Berkeley and I are in big church.  They come back to us as we pass the peace and prepare for communion.  They are getting accustomed to our new church routines nicely and enjoying learning new things.  Anyway, we are sitting and getting ready for communion, and as the ushers were bringing the "gifts" to the alter, Bennett gets all wide-eyed and excited, and says "Time for snacks!"  Now, the boy loves his food.  And snacks are his favorite.  But, I thought this to be one of the funniest things he has said.  Ahhhh.....out of the mouths of babes....

Until next time....:)
