Sunday

The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Psalm 24:1

Caleb's Coming!

This is a movie of Caleb's train passing our house! Since we live right next to the railroad tracks it was REALLY fun to have a train go by that you actually new someone on it!

(Did you see him? ;)

He had a VERY exciting trip! He had a lay over right at the start and left at about 7 in the morning as opposed to midnight the night before. So he played cribbage all night with a nice older lady in her 70's, which he travelled with as far as Chicago. Then when he arrived there he had another layover all night! But not to worry about our poor traveler. Amtrack put him up in the Hyatt Regency hotel on the 22nd floor with an awesome view of Michigan Ave. and 2 queen beds! They also gave him money for his meals so he had Chinese for breakfast! (But that's not all!) That day he had some time to spend so he went to The Field Museum and guess what! It was a free day! Well, to top it all off on his way from Chicago to Bloomington he led a college student to the Lord!!!! It's so neat how our Father works. If Caleb hadn't had all those "delays" he would have missed witnessing this young man. Please pray that Gregory grows in the Lord.

Thank you for all your prayers and your comments! He REALLY enjoyed them!

Weekend Fun

Well, Caleb arrived home just in time to go to Silver Dollar City with us and te Comstock family over the weekend. We had a great time even though it was rainy. They have over four million Christmas lights and a HUGE tree in the middle of the park. We are soooooo sorry we didn't get ANY pics. of SDC because our camera was out of battery! So if you want to see some pics. of it you'll have to go to the Comstocks blog, cool-com-collected. But we did get a few pics. of Bass Pro.

Happy Thanksgiving!

"For the beauty of the earth,

For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth,
Over and around us lies:

For the wonder of each hour,

Of the day and of the night,

Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moons, and stars of light:

For the joy of human love,

Brother, sister, parent, child,

Friends on earth, and friends above,

For all gentle thoughts and mild:

For Thyself, best Gift Divine!

To our race so freely giv'n,

For that great, great love of Thine,

Peace on earth, and joy in heav'n:

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,

This our hymn of grateful praise."

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

May the Lord bless you!

Mennonite Madness

What is this madness?!!!!

Look below for how to play! ;)

Mennonite Madness

Mennonite Madness... our friends in MN taught us this game last year and it has been a real favorite ever since!

Ok, here's how you play... You have two dice, one pen, and everyone has a sheet of paper.

You start with the pen in the middle of the table and any one person rolling the die. Then it's the next persons turn going clockwise around the circle. When someone gets doubles, like two ones, two threes, etc..., then that person that rolled the doubles grabs the pen and starts writing on their sheet of paper one to one hundred. They keep writing while everyone else is taking their turn rolling until someone else gets doubles then that person grabs the pen from the first person and starts writing to 100, and the game goes on. the first one to write to 100 wins! You won't believe how exciting it can be to write to 100!

Oh! When you get doubles the second time you just start right in where you left off writing before, you don't have to start over. Hope you all enjoy! It's a great group game!

Praise the Lord

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. "

Colossians 3:16-17
