ESPNU tonight

My family is going to the a local football game tonight. It on ESPNU. Here are their signs.
Kaitlin was so excited she couldn't stand still.
A rare still moment
Michael Dyer verbally committed to AUBURN today. John wants to thank him!

Way to go Rodney Scott

If you watched the AUBURN game on Saturday you may have seen the helmet to helmet hit that left Zac Etheridge non responsive on the field. He was carried off on a body board. He gave a very weak thumbs up as he was carried off.

One of the neat things that happened after 'The Hit' was Rodney Scott, the Ole Miss player, that ended up under Zac, didn't move. His decision to stay still is one to the reasons that Zac is walking around today.

We hear so much about unsportsmen like conduct in college football that I wanted to give a shout out for a job well done. Rodney Scott, I've never met you but I plan to follow your career and I am praying for God's blessing on it.

Art Show

Kaitlin got two photos in Mustard Tree Art . Her photos are on page 2 and 7 in the gallery-Jesus is Light. How exciting. Our friends Dan, Bri, and Grant also got work in.

Aim High

Something for us to strive for

I wasn't taking pictures and driving, I promise

We have had the rainiest October/fall since about forever or maybe the 1800's. Here are some pictures Kaitlin took as we drove home from church one Sunday. This is to remind me that we did see the sun a few times this past month and to let you see the beauty that I am privileged to see as I drive home.








The path home is always a welcome sight.It was not a brilliant fall with fantastic color. I see most pretty leaves on the ground as they have been blown down by the wind and rain but I have enjoyed it none the less and say Hello November!

Bach got it right

492 years ago today, Martin Luther nailed the 95 thesis up on the Wittenberg Door . This was the beginning of the Reformation. Here are the five Solas of the Reformation.

Solus Christus

Ephesians 2: 1-10

Sola Fide

Genesis 15:6

Galatians 3:20-21

Soli Deo Gloria

Bach signed all his music SDG. He did it all for the Glory of God.

Happy Reformation Day

Evelyn's Birthday

We gathered on the 27th to surprise Evelyn on her birthday.

She enjoyed her cards



Onion Soup was the fare for the day for most.
Susanne even brought cupcakes and candles. The cupcakes were a pumpkin spice. They were outstanding. If I get the recipe, I'll post it.
Aren't they cute?
She got lots of ivy
and some tea
Kaitlin and Marisa joined us after the group picture was taken so here they are, so Evelyn won't forget they were there too :)What a blessing to be with Evelyn on her birthday. It was fun to hear her tell that her grandson called her early in the morning because he wanted to be the first to wish her a 'Happy Birthday' and that Rodney got her a wonderful card with a long verse.

Evelyn is one of my heroes. I enjoy her outlook on life and her willingness to help. I am blessed to be able to call her my friend.
