This was after the game, so some had already left.

What a week! We have had something going on literally every night this week! Yesterday I had to sub for after school care at the girls school. I do like kids, and I didn't really mind doing it, but I'm so glad that it's not my everyday job. The kids were really good but I was counting down the minutes until 5:30! After we were done with that it was time to go help out in the kitchen for the Alumni night activities. We had grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, cheese dip, and lots more. The night got started off the the Lady Mustangs playing the alumni women. They just played a half court game and the alumni lost!! Oh well, there's always next year:) In between the ladies playing and the guys playing they had a few little competitions: a free throw shoot-out, a slam dunk contest, and the parent/student shoot out(which Carl and Carlie participated in). I wasn't too hurt that she didn't ask me to play with her because I probably would have declined! Carl and Carlie made it into the second round, but then lost by one point. It was so much fun to watch, and Carlie is pretty good. After that it was time for the Mustangs to play the alumni (aka the oldies!). Carl was the oldest to play on the team and he just turned 30, so they weren't really all that old, but compared to kids aged 15-18, they were OLD!! I guess they still had game because they whooped the Mustangs by 20 something points!! The kids were so excited about seeing Carl play. At the beginning of the game Trey was dancing around yelling, "Go Daddy, Go Daddy!". It was priceless. Believe it or not Carl is actually able to move this morning. Not too bad for an old man:)

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...
