Ready To Hunt!

Makena and Carlie riding the 4wheelers in the woods
by Carl's deer stand/honey hole :)
We looked around and found T on his way up to the climbing
stand.  Of course then he had to pause for a picture!
Then Carlie thought she needed to pose for me too!
And Makena sat on the 4wheeler and watched us :)

Carl and Trey checking out the deer feeder.

Today was a great day for a ride through the woods to check out the deer stands and feeders and cameras.  Carl hasn't really been bow hunting because he's been really busy and it's been extremely warm!  When we were out there today it was almost 90 degrees.  That's WAY too warm to be hunting here.  Mosquitoes almost ate us up before we could get back on the 4 wheelers.  Carl has lots of deer on his game cameras including one monster buck...even bigger than the buck he killed at the farm last year! 
After we finished we came back home and Carl cleaned out his truck and vacuumed my car out and I took a nap!  I have just been so tired lately.  I guess stress will do that to you.  We had to be at church early for another one of those lovely 5:30 meetings...UGH!  The kids are in the midst of taking 9 weeks exams and we spend a lot of time studying and trying to make sure we know the study guide front to back with our eyes closed!  So far we've made nothing but A's on the exams we have taken, and I don't want that to change!  Ah, there is no rest for the weary :)
I saw this sign on Pinterest a while back and it fits us so right, right now:

We will, I have faith we will.  And when we are given another new year, we are going to change a lot of things.  To be honest, I can't wait until the new year for that very reason :)

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...
