Labor Day 2010

On Labor Day my Mom, Dad, and I took the kids toThe Arkansas Post Museum in Gillett.  Carl is still working hard (but if the rain holds off they'll be done with rice by Wed.!) and couldn't be off with us today, but we had a great time with Nanny and Pop anyway!  We had lunch in the picnic area and the kids loved it.  After we left there we headed to the visitor center where they have all kinds of exhibits and even a movie theater.  It is very educational, but fun also.  So after we finished up in the visitor center, we went on a hike by the river and  that's when we had a few melt-downs (Carlie of all people), got a little hot, and couldn't wait to get back to the truck!!  It was a really nice hike if you don't count all of that!! Makena really enjoyed herself until the very end when she was worn out from walking :)  We also went to the actual museum part where they have a lot of really old, interesting things. 
We attempted to go swimming today, but the water was sooo cold we only stayed for about 40 minutes, then we had to come home and get ready for a fish fry at Grammy and Papa's.  The fish was good and we got to visit with family that we don't get to see very often.  Over all we had a great day and got to spend it with some pretty special people :) 
Tomorrow is my first day of working as Mother Helper at the girls school this year and tomorrow night I have Ladies Bible Study, so it's going to be a very busy day. 
Oh, I called her this morning, but I need to send a big Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law, Mrs. Carolyn!!

Well, hope you all have had a great weekend and are ready to start a 4 day work week!!

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!...

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...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
