80th bday party

My grandma is celebrating her 80th bday! She is celebrating it with her friends, family, and it is at her church! I was honored to give the blessing for the dinner.

Look at all the people...

...at the Gaither concert.

Gaither country

Last Saturday we went to the Gaither Homecoming concert. We sat in the last row on top (row J). We were so far, yet we felt the heart and mind of God's people singing together in harmony. The last 45 minutes, we were able to sit on the floor seating. It didn't matter where we were, we could still sing and still enjoy the concert! God is everywhere...he will always be there for me. What about you?

Turkey....

Eating turkey a week early. COME AND GET IT.

Thought of the week...

What if there were no such thing as joy? What if it was gone? What if that emotion no longer existed? Could we ever truly be joyful?

I see many people who are sad and depressed over the economy, struggle and just life in general. The Bible says:

24 So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God. 25 For who can eat or enjoy anything apart from him? 26 God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please him.... Ecclesasties 2:24-26

Everything comes from God. God will give us the "joy" when we do His purpose.
