Flowers, VBS, and Swimming

I had to throw in this picture of my pretty flowers.
It took them so long to finally bloom this year. 

Maxee, Noah, Trey, and Blaine eating their hot dogs during our first night of VBS.
 
Bonnie, Carlie, Megan, Makena, and Spencer were ready to eat!
 
Cailyn, Anna Grace, Carlie, Makena, Bonnie, Ellie Kate, and Noah were trying to make a giant train.

Having fun in the pool with friends and cousins
 
Makena had Ellie Kate and Eli on her back

Trey is too cool for this pool!
 
Noah was towing the island

Hadlee, Maxee, and Carlie
 
It was Hadlee's turn in the rocket ship

Maxee was showing Trey her doggie purse.  She named it princess....He didn't care!
 
We've been having a fun time this week playing with our cousins and friends at the pool.  Every afternoon we go and spend a couple of hours then come home and get ready for VBS!  That has been fun too!  The closing program is tonight and I'm really glad that it's finally over.  I'm in charge of the music and even though every class practiced last night for our program tonight, you just never know what they are going to do when their parents are around :) It should be very interesting.  Maybe I can get Carl to take lots of pictures for me.  He's had to do that so much this past year that he's actually gotten pretty good at it.

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...
