Are they related to me??????

We are experiencing communication problems.... apparently not all contracts were signed before this went public.... so until further notice this video will no longer be available (sorry!) If you would like to see the video returned kind encouraging words to the singers would be helpful!
Yes it was a long ride to Atlanta, GA!!!
Does this qualify as a JOYFUL NOISE?!?!
~ Chuck
We made it safely ~ and got the booth all set up today with enough time to relax in the pool for awhile tonight. Two busy days of working then tear it all down and head home.

We're in Georgia!!!
It took 13 Hours of driving but we made it here about 10:00 PM Eastern Timezone
(9:00 PM Central Timezone).
We took turns keeping the baby "happy" or fed
The best driver :) 
the BOYS row busy having fun! 
The GIRLS row busy working on something
Tutu taking good care of the baby
We drove through Tennessee on the way and got some cool photos of the scenery :)
P.S. Someone had these all ready at the hotel but mom never got them posted! We arrived safely back home tonight and are greatly anticipating a good night sleep in our own beds!!!

Clouds
I see a... Camera!
There's been a lot of clouds lately and I had a camera to take pictures with,
so here's what I SEE :)
I see Michelangelo's Painting of Hands...
I see two armies charging into battle...
I see a wave crashing onto the seashore,
waving at me
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
I see that I need help on this one
I see fluffy, cloud of bright pink cotton candy...
I see the moon way up in the clouds
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
~ Chuck
I was gonna say ....nevermind!

The deeper meanings of Snoopy, Hmmmmm
Is there a Snoopy in your life? If so do you thank them for their support and encouragement?
Do you get upset with them when they chide you? In 2 Samuel 12:1-7 Nathan had to deliver Gods message to David and to risk his anger but David did the right thing and repented when confronted with the truth. Would you?
John N
Do you have a Charlie Brown in your life? Someone who could use your encouragement?
Do you take the opportunity to bless someone else? In Romans 15:4 it says "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Do you know the scripture well enough to give someone encouragement from it? By memory? I know that is something I need to work on.

Do you have a Lucy whom you have to deal with? Someone who gets on your nerves?
Are you patient with them, or do you have a mean retort for them when they bug you?
Paul says in Colossians 1:10-12:
10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

If you want some insight on Peppermint Patty, Sally, Linus, and Schroeder, well... you'll have to wait for part 2 of "the deeper meanings of Snoopy."
I hope that this challenges you to look at the people around you and see what you can do for others and what others do for you, but most of all to see how well you know God's Word and how well you can tell others about God.
Ecclesiastes 1:13-14
I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

A day at the "lake"
What a beautiful Easter Sunday! Warm temps, sunshine and family couldn't ask for much more!
We enjoyed a feast of food AND Scripture for lunch :) Then enjoyed being outside the rest of the day. We did an Easter eggs hunt on the rock wall -- harder than it seems!
note to mom -- next year call GRAPES jelly beans so we don't have the sugar high!!! chocolate melts in the warm van.... oh well ~ we tried!
Blue eyes enjoying the blue sky
There were some great things to plan on, this huge suspended net was one!
they boys were liking the lookout, even though Chuck doesn't like heights he was doing ok.
sand fun, yes she tried to eat it too
great rope swing into the creek
spring fed so it was refreshingly cool :)
let me swim! she really wanted to SIT down and play! Tutu did a great job keeping her dry
whole beach to themselves, well almost they felt right at home!

Flowers!!!
Chuck
Sometimes they bloom slowly but sometimes they bloom pretty quickly like our Bradford Pear trees that bloomed in five days! We didn't catch them until day two but they're still pretty much buds
Morning of day number three they're getting bigger 
And by afternoon they've grown some leaves
Day four with plenty of sun and warmth they're starting to bloom!!! 
Day five they're in full bloom
