Where Did You Go?

It's hard to believe that my baby is now a teenager. He turned 13 today. Happy Birthday! I love you.


Wearing Mr. Potato Head's glasses.


Busted!


Busted again!

Hi Mom. Just having a little snack.

You mean these clothes were clean?

Harry...

...Houdini!

What?

You entertained us with Old King Cole...

and Recycle Man!

You mean you wanted me to put the books in the box?

My work here is done.

The Red Sea

When the Children of Israel crossed the sea,
It comforts my heart to know
That there must have been timorous ones
Who faltered and feared to go;

Feared the ribbon of road which stretched
Ahead like a narrow track,
With the waves piled high on either side,
And nothing to hold them back.­

Nothing to hold them back but a Hand
They could neither see nor feel;
Their God seemed distant and far away,
And only the peril real.

Yet the fearful ones were as safe as the brave,
For the mercy of God is wide.
Craven, and fearless,He led them all
Dry shod to the other side.

And I think of the needless terror and pain
We bring, to our own Red Sea.
Strengthen Thy timorous ones, dear Lord,
And help us to trust in Thee!

The Land At Eden's Gate

There's a garden God is tending, where the fields are green and deep
With a harvest never-ending there, by waters cool and sweet
There a man can lay his burdens down, there a man can live in grace, oh,
I hope I see before I die, The Land at Eden's Gate.

Oh, the morning sky has broken, like the dawn at Eden's birth
And it lights the pine and meadowlark, and shines on God's great work
Oh, I'm leaving now and won't be back, won't you come with me this day, oh,
I hope I see before I die, The Land at Eden's Gate.
Oh, The Land at Eden's Gate.

May the children of your children, see the wild, rare primrose grow
Hear the gentle rain a-falling down, among these ancient groves
Oh, may angels watch it evermore, and protect its perfect state, oh
I pray they see before they die, The Land at Eden's Gate
I pray they see before they die, The Land at Eden's Gate.

Attitude

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
"Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today!" So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
H-M-M, " she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today!"So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
Well," she said, "Today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to do my hair today!"

Attitude is everything.

Psalm 62:5-8

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Philippians 4: 6-13

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
