A Roadtrip, Snowcones, and A Smelly Friend

Makena and Trey were making the best out of a long trip

Me and my pretty girl-in-the-middle.  Carlie wasn't ever around us :(
 
We stopped by our favorite place before going back home to get a snow cone.
Carl got them mediums and my car it still sticky! 

The smelly little friend we found.  He was with his mother, but when we let Sam out, the mother ran off and left the baby, but not before it sprayed Sam!  It didn't get him really good, but he did smell pretty bad for a few days.

Saturday we went to Russellville to go to my nephew Noah's Kindergarten Graduation.  He is home schooled and just finished his work, so they had a little ceremony and reception for him then all of the kids played outside on the bouncy slide.  Makena didn't want to play on it, but Carlie and Trey did.  Too bad I didn't get one single picture of them on it.  Makena was just glued to my side that day for some reason.  I think that sometimes she gets a little insecure when we are around people that she doesn't know. Or, maybe she was just needing me more that day!  I'll take what I can get :)

When we made our way back to Stuttgart we stopped and got a snow cone at Tropical Sno.  We haven't had one since school got out, so it was a nice little treat :)  Only mistake I made was letting Carl order.  He got all of the kids mediums!!  We had such a huge mess in the car.  I'm still finding sticky places.

When we finally made it back to our house and ate supper (yes, after eating snow cones!) we made a trip out to the farm to let Sam run.  He loves that, but on this trip he found a not so friendly friend...a skunk!  Well, this skunk had a baby with it and Carl rescued it from Sam.  It was such a fiasco!  Sam got sprayed, but the baby skunk was safe and Carl put it back where the mother had left him. When we drove back by later the baby was gone, so I guess it was reunited with it's mom.  The kids thought this was the absolute coolest trip to the farm EVER!  They even got to pet the baby skunk!  I on the other hand, passed :)

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...
