Dec 2013-Jan 2014 update

Hi everyone,

How is 2014 going for you so far? I am sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. Here is some of what has been going on in my life since my last post. I was challenged and encouraged by a Bible conference that I attended in Tennessee. Then we had good friends from Colorado visit us. We also hosted a wonderful concert at our books and coffee shop last week. http://www.lifehouse.org
The musicians were the Wissmann Family from Nebraska. Check out their blog for more info. http://wissmanns.blogspot.com/

Here is one of my favorite songs of theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9O3HRO4aAc

That's all for now.

I pressed these leaves in between the pages of one of our Encyclopedia Brittanicas. The leaves are from our Bradford Pear Tree in the back yard.

I like polka dots.

We had an ice storm. Then it was sunny and warm for a few days. Then the next week it was snowing. Talk about crazy weather. :)

The trees looked especially pretty when the sun was shining through the ice.

I flew to Nashville, TN for a Bible conference.

A magnificent sunrise in Nashville.

Another sunrise.

The Theme of the conference: Fight the Fight
Finish the Course
Keep the Faith

New friends I met at the conference. They flew all the way from Japan!

I've met those people from Japan!! I can't remember their names off the top of my head, but how cool is that?! The Church makes the world a very small place. :-)

Photos from England

Stonehenge My dad and I went along with a tour group from the US to learn more about the history of Operation Tiger. We got to meet two American veterans who also came to England. I learned the history of Operation Tiger which I had not been aware of before. This year is the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tiger. They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the D-Day invasion of Normandy , which took place on Slapton Sands or Slapton Beach in Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in friendly fire deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by E-boats of the German Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946 American servicemen.

The Best [poem]

Christ wants the best. He in the far-off ages Once claimed the firstling of the flock, the finest of the wheat, And still He asks His own with with gentlest pleading To lay their highest hopes and and brightest talents at His feet.

The richest gifts for us on earth, or in the heavens above, Are hid in Christ. In Jesus we receive The best we have. And is our best too much? O friend, let us remember How once our Lord poured out His soul for us, And in the prime of Hi
