For the gals.

For the guys.

"The Best of Both Worlds"

In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We have joy whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it does not.

~C. S. Lewis

Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I Thessalonians 5:17-18

Happy Valentine's Day!

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. I John 4:8

Snow!

When you really love snow AND you really love basketball...

The boys and I went out to shovel early this evening. We were trying to make a space to get the van out so we could drive down and pick up Tim. We got around 9" today and there is to be more tonight and the wind is predicted to pick up. All the schools in the area have already been cancelled for tomorrow. Looks like we'll be having our Awana Grand Prix race next week. Which is great because we procrastinated and Josh's car is not ready.

What I've been working on...

And more to come. Lots of sewing with "Springy" colors during our big snow storm.
