Happy Fourth of July!
picframe Neil and I usually are on a boat watching fireworks on the river. This year; he had to work. Due to us being home, it gave me an opportunity to watch the beautiful displays with my father.

Our Kiddo’s

Today, I began chewing on the difference between God’s rest and peace. It was explained to me that God’s peace is attached to an emotion and His rest is a product of knowing who God is. Rest is an extension of me spending time in the Lord’s presence. I pray that when something happens andContinue reading “Knowing God”

Since we were back and he got off early enough, we were able to attend the second annual “A Way Out” event. I am so thankful because not only did weContinue reading “A Way Out”
