Getting Spooky: The Rest of October

The rest of October was pretty much a blur. We were busy doing all the fun fall things!

The girls and I went to our town's Homecoming Parade. We dressed Wrenley up in her little cheerleading uniform and headed downtown. She loved watching the band and all of the kids running to get candy. Even though it wasn't her first Homecoming parade (her mom took her last year), it was so fun watching her for the first time. I have a feeling that all of the holiday season will be enjoyed just seeing things through Wrenley's eyes.

This was actually the very day that Carl finished harvest!! I am so happy that is behind us.

Now Halloween. The week of Halloween was the coldest that we have had this fall. So cold, in fact, that Carl was off for the first 3 days of the week. Wrenley thoroughly enjoyed having her Pappy here to play with. She gets bored with me sometimes.

Pappy took her to see the chickens. She loved it!

Carl built this little set-up for me. It was Charlotte's Web themed.

If you look closely, you can see "some pig" in the web.

The cutest little mouse to ever be caught in a trap!

I mean...

Grammy and Wren

she was fascinated by this pumpkin pig

BeBe and Wren...partners in crime!

Our church held its annual Trunk or Treat on Halloween night. I was very happy that Carlie and Caleb brought Wrenley out. The bags under my eyes are from getting up at 5:30 a.m. to go pick her up, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Hot tub selfie!

Much Love,

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...
