Kingswood 08

Here we are at Kingswood for our annual camping trip. The weather was beautiful pretty much the whole time. Stars at night were so clearly seen like no where else I've ever been to. We took Gracie along and she was a lot of fun. She loved it. She was our little protector our anything in the woods alarm. She just needs to learn the difference between a frog alert and a bear alert.
Of course it was fun spending some time with the Haughery's. They are fun people and a blessing to be around. Kingswood is just a wonderful place to build memories with our family. It's definitely a highlight of our summer.

tomato bombs.......

So last night Erika and her son Elijah stopped over. Erika and I were chatting and then Erika glanced into the kitchen and then walked into the kitchen and she kind of yelled out in horror. I quickly walked over almost afraid to look at what was going on. Elijah was squatting on top of the table beside an almost empty basket of tomatoes. There was splattered tomatoes all over the floor. Rico was out there too just kind of standing off to the side. Of course we asked Elijah what in the world was going on. He kind of blamed Rico and when we asked Rico what happened he pointed to Elijah.
Needless to say something happened and it's a pretty good bet it was the both of them. But it's beyond me that either one of them would have done that. It really is out of character. For some reason tomatoes started flying. We got it all cleaned up and life goes on. But this memory will make me shake my head for awhile in disbelief.

New song........

Blessed Is The One


Blessed is the one whose sins are overcome
Whom God has sheltered deep within His grace
Blessed is the one who trusts in God the Son
His steadfast love the sinner’s hiding place

Jesus, Your blood covers all my sin
Jesus, Your love draws my heart to sing
What a Savior, Jesus

I will always hide at my Savior’s side
I find my refuge in His sovereign care
When the waters rise, God will hear my cries
His steadfast love will hold me safely there

I love this song. The first time I heard it was at the WG08 Conference. It really effected my heart. This song felt so personal to me. It has the feel of coming out of a personal quiet time with Jesus and just singing quietly to Him.
I was able to buy the new SG CD called "Psalms" at the conference. It's a great CD probably the best so far from SG. It should soon be available at our Crossway resource center. It's worth the money.
Doug also has another song on this CD it's called. "Praise the Lord" this is also a really great song. We sang this song a lot at the conference. Definitely a song you can celebrate the Lord with. I'm looking forward to singing these songs at Crossway hopefully soon. It is so very cool seeing how God is using Doug here at Crossway and all over the world where ever these CD's go.

Walking at the property.

Yesterday we went out to the church property for a walk/bike ride. Edwin, Rico, Gracie and I walked while Bri and Bella rode there bikes. It was a beautiful night.
After the walk we threw a little frisbee. The church property is so beautiful I wonder why more people don't go over and use it.
