Weekend Happenings

On Friday night, we headed over to the Mt. Pleasant football game...Oilers vs. Dow Chemics... What a fun game to watch! Both teams have some great players, making for an even competition. Lots of nail biting. The Oilers won, 28 to 13! Go Oilers!

There's Alex, our nephew, heading back from a play. He's a go-getter!
Alex runs with the ball and all the other players just fall down! I just love football games! The crisp air, the band, the fans, the smash of helmet smacking helmet, my father in law getting so excited he nearly shakes me to pieces. Ah, yes. I can't wait for Friday again...Farwell vs. Beaverton. We're rooting for our nephew Travis and cousin Derrick on the Eagles team. That's Farwell, in case you had forgotten.

These are the four, count them, four Honeycrisp apples that grew on our tree that we just planted in the spring. The spring! The actual tree looked more like a glorified twig. We finally picked the apples after church on Sunday. Such excitement. Such anticipation. Our first apples ever. And Honeycrisps to boot!

Delicious! Serena and I gave the tree a little kiss for all the hard work it did all summer to bring us just one juicy crispy apple to enjoy. I just love Fall, don't you?

You'd have to have straw for brains not to love fall. Here we are standing in the front yard...ya gotta just love fall!

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
