In the Storm

We had a good time gathering things into our cart for one boy and one girl. We filled the boxes until there was no room left in the box.

So I thought I was helping Jeff out by going and picking up the smokers for this weekends Boston butt smoke out with the Boy Scouts. The smoker didn't get hooked up correctly and when I hit a train track the smoker came off my hitch and by the time I was able to pull over and get stopped the smoker had dragged along the pavement then sneaked under my bumper and tore it up. Thankfully it was chained and didn't swing out and hit a car or cause an accident. Very emotional situation.

My favorite color. It seriously makes me happy. I can be grouchy and solemn and when I consider the turquoise in my home I find comfort and joy and emotional stability. It may sound mystical or strange but I adore turquoise. I love pure turquoise stones all rustic and native and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean ocean, purses, and decor. Thank you Lord for Your creative nature and offering turquoise for me to enjoy.

Our church, Compassion Christian Church, had their annual Faith Promise weekend this past week where we pledged an offering above our tithes to support missions, locally and globally. Since the inception of our church in 1964 they have been mission-minded and we send teams on short term trips throughout the year. But, we've also sent out numerous families, couples, and individuals who have gone into full time mission work and are serving worldwide. Besides our mission-focus I appreciate that our church preaches the Word of God, without reservations and without apology.

I hung our new outdoor sign over the weekend then we hosted our weekly small group in our home. I am so thankful to the Lord for providing our home, for giving us this place to worship the Lord, study the Word, and do life together. I'm thankful we are a serving family.

I love this stuff! Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Orange Clove. It's a limited edition collection of delightfully smelling fall scents of oranges and cloves. Oh my! So yummy!
