Delta Rivers Nature Center

Baby Gator!

There was a really cool lab they had set up where you could fell the animal skins, see what their skeletons look like, and all that good stuff. Of course Makena spotted the alligator head right away. We have "Gator Mania" at our house. Even though Swamp People is not on right now, Troy Landry will be at Mack's Prairie Wings on Sun. October 2 and The Mungers will be there!

Interested in poop anyone?! My kids were!

This was a pretty cool airplane simulator.

My bunch watching the movie during our "plane ride".

Another cool thing we saw today: In the movie we flew over all the

Nature Centers in the state of AR. Imagine our surprise when our first stop

took us right over our house to the Potlach Conservation Center at Cooks Lake!!

You could see our house and "hood" perfectly, right down to my car!

If you're ever in Southeast Arkansas I would highly recommend the Gov. Mike Huckabee Delta Rivers Nature Center. It was awesome. I think we stayed there for almost two hours. The kids are at the age now where they have longer attention spans, so we are able to stay and really look at things more than before. The trail that we walked was great too. Very serene and pretty. It was a great family day and I'm so happy that Carl wasn't working so he could go with us :)

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...
