Moving Again...

Blogger informed me that I am about out of memory for pictures...so I am starting a new blog: Days to Remember part 3.  Come and join me! :-)

A Good Sign

I saw this on our way out of a parking lot recently, it made me smile and run for my camera!

Well well....

One morning a couple weeks ago we woke up to no running water in the house or in the barn.  Nothing.   We were concerned that the well was dry since it's been a very dry fall, but when the guys came out they found that the pump rod was broken and the "leathers" were worn  out.  After being without running water for a 1 1/2 days we were so thankful to have running water again!!
Praise the Lord!!

A Fiery Sunset

Yesterday was extremely humid.  Our windows were all fogged over, and the cement patio never dried off. The mosquitoes were very happy with this whole situation.  We were happy to stay indoors!

The sunset was unusually bright last night.  I'm not sure if it was the humidity, but the sky just glowed orange.

It was so bright it looked like a forest fire!

The above picture is a bit blurry, but it was amazing how the tops of the grasses looked orange as they relfected the sunset.

Please Pray

Reposted from Stacy McDonald at LAF:

"Please pray for LAF writer, Kelly Crawford, and author of Generation Cedar. She and her family lost their home, outbuildings, and vehicles in yesterday’s tornadoes. They (and 4 neighboring families) sought refuge in the Crawford’s basement. One of these families – a family with 13 children - lost their husband/father in the storm. Kelly’s husband pulled them out of the rubble; and at this point, I understand some are badly injured.

I am getting regular updates, but last I heard, rescue workers were not able to get to them. Please pray they get relief soon. Also, Kelly gave birth to a baby earlier this month, so please pray for an extra measure of grace and protection for her as she ministers to her family and neighbors.

Again, Kelly and her family are safe. Praise God He spared their lives. Please pray for provision and peace for all involved. And please remember the precious wife and 13 children who woke this morning without a husband and father, and without a place to live.

I will update you as I get new information."

Too many books?

How about a bookshelf and staircase all in one? 

Looking up...

 


...and looking down.



I thought this was amazing.  I don't think I would necessarily want it in my house, since I would probably get distracted by all the books and fall down the steps.  But I love to see someone being so creative with the space they have. =)

Now this is drawing from memory!

 Stephen has 3 days to draw a 5.5 yard drawing of what he saw on a 45 minute helicopter ride. Wow...
