Tonight we had our annual Fall Festival at church.  We didn't have quite the turn out this year as we have had in the past, but that didn't matter to the kids!  We ate chili, went on a hayride, played some games, sang a few songs, and had a cake walk, and a devotional.  It was such a good time of fellowship. 
The girls were out of school today for Parent Teacher Conferences.  I wasn't at all worried about meeting with their teacher....they had all A's again :)  Have I ever mentioned how proud I am of them.  They are such smarties!!  Carlie is having to work a little harder this year, but she is still doing great. 
Trey had a dentist appointment today in Stuttgart.  This was just to get his teeth cleaned...we have more work to come.  He did great (so much better than this time last year!) but it makes me sad knowing that he has so much work to be done.  He just has bad teeth.  Part of it was due to an accident he had, part of it was due to some medication that he had to take when he was little, and part of it is just because his baby teeth are just bad.  I'm praying that Dr. Doug is going to fix us up on our next visit...it's November 15Th in case anyone wants to start praying now! 
So, that is our day in a nutshell.  Tomorrow we have a family reunion in DeWitt, and then trick or treating :)  The kids are looking forward to that and I can't wait to show you their costumes!
Happy Friday, Everybody!!

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...
