The Assembling of Ourselves Together

Filed under: Church — Admin @ 2:06 pm

It is a joy to be able to worship God with His people. 

On March 25 we were blessed by a visit from Michael and Susan Bradrick

Also, we said hello to two new young men, David and Joseph, interning with Wade Myers of RealManage.  We also said goodbye to Nolan and Phillip (see previous post).  May God’s blessing go with them.

Maidens in the Meadow

Filed under: Outdoors — Admin @ 7:13 pm

There’s just something about little girls playing in a meadow, especially when they are your little girls.

Emily and Annie

Panoramic view of the meadow in our backyard.  In a month it will be filled with wildflowers.  Stay tuned.

The beauty of flowers

Song of Solomon 2: 11-12  For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

Swinging

Swinging is a wonderful activity, from the gentle, lulling movement of a hammock on a hot summer day to the adventurous flying of a child’s swing.

Annie swings high.

Be Thou an Example…

Filed under: Discipleship — Admin @ 2:28 pm

We have been blessed by the presence of two outstanding young men, Nolan and Phillip, who are interning with a business owned and run by a member of our church.

These two men have been a delight to get to know, have been faithful contributors to our church fellowship, and have provided a terrific example to our sons.  We will miss them when their time here is finished.

Spring days in Fairview, Texas

Filed under: Gardening — Admin @ 9:17 pm

The redbud trees are beautiful in the Spring.

Newly planted brussel sprouts, onions, and cabbage.

A row of redbud trees with a thunderstorm approaching,

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.  Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:  Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:  Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:  Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.   Psalm 104: 1-5
