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.

It took 13 Hours of driving but we made it here about 10:00 PM Eastern Timezone

We drove through Tennessee on the way and got some cool photos of the scenery :)

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

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?

You are both beautiful blessings we are so thankful God has placed you in our family! May you grow closer to HIM every day and live each day giving God all the glory!

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.

Chuck and Peter CDrew M

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.

Graffiti on the Driveway?
