A  few nights ago, as Serenity and Justus were laying in bed,  I heard Serenity talking to Justus about heaven.  After a little while, Justus started crying.  I decided to check up on the little fellow to see what was making him sad. He was broken over the thought of leaving our house and never seeing it again when he went to heaven. I spent some time talking with him about how God is building us another house and will take us to it someday.  He was listening intently and then asked, "Does everyone go to heaven?" After I answered that he wanted to know,  "How do you become a Christian?"…

Don’t get between a man (or a boy for that matter) and hunting season.  It’s like getting between me and my favorite dessert.  (which in case you wanted to know is ice cream)  You just don’t mess with me.  Boys like their challenges and since this one provides them with lots of fresh air, exercise, the study of nature, stalking skills, marksmanship, butchering skills and lots of fresh organic meat, how can I complain?  Seth (16), shot his first antelope last week.  A very nice one I am told.  If you ever get the opportunity to have some antelope meat, you must!  It’s the most tender, mildest game you’ll ever have.  Yummy! Seth had a second seizure on…

Justus (4yo) just had got out of the bath and was not dressed. "Go, get some clothes on," sister told him. His quick response?  "I’m Adam." Then just today he was quoting Scripture from the RJV version of the Bible, otherwise known as the Revised Justus Version and said,  "In the beginning, God created the university."   What a funny boy; I just love my little fellow. 

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!  How great is the sum of them!  Psa.139:17

Here is my niece Chloe at about 2 years of age.  And here is my daughter, Audrey at 15 months of age 19 years later in the same jumper and shirt.   This outfit has been through 6 other kids.  How’s that for getting your money’s worth out of clothes? My sisters and I are still trying to figure out if the trade-off of money saved versus storing them for all these years was worth it.
