State Bowling Tournament 2022

The Rice Bowling Center Strikers

Cheering our boy on!

His awards this year. 

We spent the better part of the weekend at the Arkansas State Youth Bowling Tournament with Trey.  He bowled with his team on Saturday afternoon and then again in doubles and singles on Sunday morning.  While I never enjoy having to wake up super early (we had to leave our house at 5:30 on Sunday morning), it was fun to watch him.  Doubles was not our friend this year.  I am blaming the timing (lol), but he did awesome in singles.  We had the pleasure of taking two of his teammates with us to the tournament on Sunday.  I am glad I only have to feed one teenage boy on a regular basis.  Those boys can EAT!
Makena had Tiger Serve day for school on Saturday and the history department put on a workshop at the cemetery in Arkadelphia. 



 After her workshop was over, she drove to Little Rock to watch Trey.  She ended up coming home with us.  Carlie and Caleb invited us to stop by and eat dinner with them.  It was very nice to not have to worry about cooking when we got back home.
My three babies.

It was a fun weekend. I am thankful that we found bowling.  It was one of those things that kind of fell in our lap when we started homeschooling.  I was looking for something for the kids to do (Trey was playing soccer at the time) and happened to see this something on our bowling center's Facebook page.  We have made friends that we otherwise wouldn't have and we have also made a little money for college.  

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!...

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...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
