This and That

Here are a bunch of pictures from my phone. I will one day get fully caught up on here.  We have been pretty busy, and this is the time of year when it only gets worse before it gets better!
  A few weeks ago we went to Little Rock to celebrate Noah David's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's.  Here are a few pictures.
He was thrilled to be in the ticket blaster!

Makena and Trey playing...I'm not sure where Carlie was!
We finally finished with basketball season and had our annual blue and white game where anyone in the whole school (kids only) can play.  We also gave out the participation trophies. We had a fun season, but I am not ashamed to say that I'm glad it's over until October!

Carlie Erin is still our driver a lot.  She does a good job and maybe one day she will take the road test and pass it :)  We still have some work to do.
 
Jonah, Braden, Trey, and Atticus on the tractor for Ag Day.

Makena and some of her class on the swings.  You're never too old to swing!
 
We have now given away three of the six puppies!  It was sad watching them go at first, but now we are all okay with it.  We have two males and a female left....anybody want a puppy?!
I guess that gets us mostly caught up until Spring Break....so that means more fun coming soon :)
 
Much Love,
Beth

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...
