Farm and Gin Show 2011

We made it through our 7Th year of going to the Farm and Gin show in Memphis.  Friday Mom and I went to the show to see Dad and Carl then let the kids swim in the pool.  We ate at The Flying Fish and then Carl, the kids, and I went back to the hotel to hang out and my Mom and Dad went and stayed in West Memphis.  We had a great time, even though Friday night proved to be a terrible sleepless night for us thanks to Trey having Diet Mtn. Dew about an hour before bed!  We met up with the Martin's from Hickory Ridge (at the show)like we do every year, and got to visit with them for a while (wish I had gotten a picture).  I think Carl likes to work the show because he gets to see people from "back home" :)  Here are a few pictures of our trip:
Trey told me he had his suitcase packed!!
Needless to say, I re-packed it :)
Our hotel

Don't ask me what this is he's standing on, but
he wanted to climb up there so I could take his pictures.

Trey in the bucket!

We love Progeny...every year they have stuff that
is geared for the kids.  We were standing in line to
get tattoos!

Makena and Trey finally got their tattoos.
Notice T in the background...he was absolutely
LOVIN' the attention from that girl :)

A few of the kids goodies...this is another reason why they
love going :)  Trey even got a box of crayons made of soy.
 
I didn't take very many pictures at the show this year, I didn't even get a picture of  Dad, Carl, and Mike
in their booth (maybe next time)!  Overall I think it was a good show and hopefully a successful one!

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...
