Vacation in VA!

Hi all! I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a while, we've been on vacation at our friend's house for about a week. We had a lovely time. They live in the Virginia Mountains on a big piece of land with waterfalls and rolling pastures. It is gorgeous!

Our family has known the Robbin's family for almost 9 years now, so it was kind of like a reunion vacation for us. We enjoyed meeting all of their friends and going to their Church. Over all, we had a wonderful time!

Now its time to catch up. Next time I blog, I'll have to post pictures of our zoo trip!

Moods of the Mountains :D

I want to thank my sister, my best friend and photographer for this blog. I love all of her creativity and passion for pictures, so I'm posting some of her best pictures of our mountains. All of these are picts of the same view.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

Your photographer,

Sermon:

Today our pastor preached out of 1st Peter chapter 1:1-2. The title was; "The Gospel For Suffering Saints"

It was about Peter, a sinful man just like us, and how God chose him to be his messenger to the Gentiles and/or Jews and what he wanted to communicate to his audience.

We also talked about God's grace and peace.

It was very comforting to think on how grace is giving us what we don't deserve, and how he gives peace to his people when they need it the most. Our Lord is so gracious to his people! It makes you want to leap and sing praises to his name!

Have a blessed Sabbath!

Coke and Twizzlers :D

Our friend, Liz Corson showed us a fun new way to drink coke! Bite off the tips of a strawberry twizzler stick and use it like a straw. Try it! It's fun!!!!!!

Mini Dog and Pizza

How to make mini pizza:

You will need all of this stuff for a start

Roll out a slice of bread first of all and cut it into a circle

Then spread pizza sauce

Cheese

and little smokies or mini peperoni

bake for about 5 min on 325 degrees. Enjoy!!!!!!! :) ;D
