Daniel and Buckley

My brother and his wife Debra have a very large golden retriever named Buckley. Daniel loves to play with him! Yesterday we were at my brothers to see my cousin Joy visiting from California. Daniel had a great time with Buckley. We caught him laying all of Buckley's toys on him and then laying on top of him! Buck was a good sport...as usual!

Daniel and I also played "tennis" (actually ping-pong). His funny sayings were: "You hit that WAY hard!" "WooHoo!" (when he hit it) "Dude, its very icky down here!" (there were some dead bugs on the floor in the basement) This little guy cracks me up!

A Blessing

Our church is having a series right now about suffering. I was asked to be a part of the sermon last week to share how the Lord helped me through the tragic death of my parents. Of course I wish the accident would NEVER have happened but I am grateful for the way the Lord has changed me. I was honored to be asked since I know I am not the only one at our church who has faced difficulties like this. May He be glorified! If you were unable to come or hear the sermon, you can check it out at http://www.faithlafayette.org/. Click on Faith Resources at the side, then click on Sunday Sermons. The title of the sermon was The Origin of Suffering. I think it will be available for another week. I'm about 20 minutes into the sermon.

My dear friends Lori, Melissa and Kathy sat with me during the services. They are a true blessing to me. Thank you to all who have been so loving and supportive over the last several years. The Lord is truly good and what he does is good.

The Creation Museum

My sister and I took my four nephews to the Creation Museum http://www.creationmuseum.org/ in Kentucky over my Spring Break. We had a fun time looking at all of the things the Lord has created and the way He has revealed himself to us. Everything is so detailed and precise...done by our Awesome Creator. If you have never gone before and you are in the area be sure to check it out.

Here are some pictures of the trip.

Here are the four boys! Caleb (on left) looks thrilled! This is in the main area of the museum. That is a large aquarium behind them. Daniel (the little one) loved the turtles and fish.

Connor and Daniel are checking out the moving dinosaurs. The Creation Museum teaches that dinosaurs were created on Day 6 with all of the other land animals and people. Therefore dinosaurs lived on the earth at the same time as humans.

This is a replica of the 1% of what Noah's Ark would have looked like. Our Noah used to believe HE was the Noah that build the ark. He is presenting his work to you here :) May he grow up to be like the Noah that build the ark - "Noah did as the Lord commanded him."

Noah and I are worried that that big Tyrannosaurus Rex is going to eat us! I'm not sure how Noah got to be so crazy! Any ideas?!
