Friday Trip to Morrilton

Today we took a quick little trip to Morrilton to pick my mom up and to also see the Simpson's for a while.  They were so sweet and had a little birthday party for both me and Makena.  We had pizza and cupcakes :)  Oh the joys of living in the city limits where you can actually get pizza delivered...sometimes I wish I lived "in town"!
Look at these two!  Ellie Kate couldn't decide between her
pizza and cupcake, so she ate a little of one, then a little of
the other!

These were taken with my phone and I'm too lazy tired
to edit them.  Makena was eating her pizza.  I think it is
now her favorite food :)  We won't mention that they had
it 3 times over the past week.  We'll do better next week!

Jamie made this for me for my birthday.  She has become quite the
little Martha Stewart!  I have a stand that I am going to put it on.

She also made these cups....oh, wait I'd better say that Cody
made the cups!!  He was sure to let us know who did it yesterday.
I think he did a good job :)  All the kids had one, and I was the "special"
(no wise cracks) adult that got one too!

I didn't get any pictures of Carlie or Noah at the party :(  Noah was SUPER excited that we were there and I don't think he sat down for more than 5 minutes (to eat) and honestly Carlie is about the same way.  She was carrying EK around playing with her most of the time. 
We had a great time and by the time we got home we were so tired we didn't do much of anything!  The heat was pretty bad today.  It was right around 100 all day.  I always feel so bad for Carl for having to be out in it.  He says he's used to it, but he didn't do much outside when he got home last night either!

Hope you all have a great weekend and find a cool spot to stay!

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...

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 ...
