The Goal

"Few have a vision statement, a document that seeks to inspire the church [family] by drawing out truths from Scripture and showing how these truths should form the identity of the group and lead to Christ-honoring practice." Finny Kuruvilla

Last Year

I am in the process of sorting pictures....hundreds of them.  I saw this one from last summer that I never shared with anyone. Looking forward to summer!

RESULTS

Someone has said that "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". 

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Galatians 6:7

Reaching out...

"Is God bored, in you, because you never do anything He cares about?"  Daniel Esh

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble... James 1:27a

Is Life Difficult for You?

Though the fig tree may not blossom, 

Nor fruit be on the vines; 

Though the labor of the olive may fail, 

And the fields yield no food; 

Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, 

And there be no herd in the stalls-

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, 

I will joy in the God of my salvation. 

The LORD God is my strength; 

He will make my feet like deer's feet, 

And He will make me walk on my high hills.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Creation

"God's works are so marvelous that the evolutionist has to say: 'Wow! It had to take billions of years!'" -James Susan

Psalm 111:2-3 The works of the LORD are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them. His work is honorable and glorious,

Ezra

Ezra is growing up!  I can't believe he will be one year old in a couple of months.  He is such a happy baby.

2014

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16 

"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." Revelations 4:11

The purpose of our lives: to bring glory to God. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ receive honor from our lives in 2014!

Family Reunion

We just took family pictures tonight.  All the Susan family is together this week for the first time in about three years.

Into the Past - Old Houses and Barns

In this part of the country abandoned homesteads abound.  I really enjoy old architecture and the history that goes with it.  It's sad to see such beautiful buildings rotting away and eventually bulldozed and burned. I've taken a few pictures of several of the structures locally but hope to get more as time goes on.
