What N did on her mid term break......

Can you guess?

Gods love...

"Nature and revelation alike testify of Gods love.  Our Father in heaven is the source of life, of wisdom, and of joy.  Look at the wonderful and beautiful things of nature.  Think of their adaptation to the needs and happiness, not only of man, but of all living creatures.  The sunshine and the rain, that gladden and refresh the earth, the hills and seas and plains, all speak of the Creators love.  It is God who supplies the daily needs of his creatures."  SC 9

Therefore, bloom where you are planted!

Mystery Dinner

The menu

We have a youth club in our church.  They recently hosted a fund raiser called 

Mystery Dinner

We did not know what we were ordering... there were 5 courses to the meal, and we had to finish one course before we could go to the next course. Each course was carried away before another one arrived. As you can see by the menu....there was no clue to what we would get.

The table decorations

Explanations from the director

Our busy waiters and waitresses gathering the orders to deliver

 live dinner music!

And the fun began...

Eating salad with a straw

Spaghetti...with a straw

bread with a spoon

And some got the "right" combinations

Well....almost

It was a fun way for the club to raise money for events and camp outs for the year.

Gecko!

I have fun watching these little  lizards running around on a vertical wall catching small bugs.  I find myself cheering them on...Go get 'em (those mosquitoes)! I was pleasantly surprised to see more then one hanging out one evening. But they did not like their picture being taken.  They kept hiding wherever they could find cover.

Precious Promises

 I am working on memorizing the following texts this week.  We will see how many I can check off by Friday.  I do know a few of them already that just need to be reviewed.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.  Isaiah 26:3

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  Galatians 5: 22-23

Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them.  Psalm 119: 165

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for Thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:7

And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.  Isaiah 54:13

For He is our peace.  Ephesians 2:14

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let be afraid.  John 14:27

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever. Isaiah 32:17
