Weekend Fun

Hey friends! I took a little break last week, partly due to the events of the week and partly due to some health issues. I am feeling a little better but still not 100% and we aren't for sure as to what's going on. So how was your weekend? Ours was pretty laid back. Here are a few pictures:
Trey and Talan made a pool in the back of Talan's Kawasaki. It was pretty funny but there wasn't really any room for two 🤣  so they drove over to my parents to swim.

Find this little guy in the front yard before the rain came in. And as you can see, he/she wasn't little at.all. 

A storm was brewing  

I was able to spend about an hour at the pool by myself on Saturday.  My mom and Makena went to buy groceries for my grandparents, Carl and Trey got haircuts (PTL), and Carlie was at work. It was nice for about the first 30 minutes. The silence was almost deafening. 

First Carlie came, then my mom, Makena, and my dad. We had a fun swim and an ice cream. Because swimming and ice cream just go together, don't they?!

Toby also decided he wanted in!

On Saturday night Carl fixed burgers on the Blackstone. He may have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with this thing. I mean, he could spend hours watching YouTube videos of some guy cooking on one. I don't get it, BUT I like that it inspires him because that means I don't have to cook! On Sunday he decided to fix breakfast outside (except the biscuits). Fine with me! We didn't have to go to church smelling like Bro. and Sis. Bacon. I like Sunday morning big breakfasts but I do not like smelling like it at church!

We went back to swim on Sunday evening. Trey jumps like this almost every time but especially if he thinks you don't want to get wet. He's a great diver and can cannon ball like nobody's business but this makes the biggest, hardest splash.

Toby was my floating buddy.

It was a great cool down to a hot day.

And it was a pretty great weekend even if I wasn't feeling the best. 


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...
