End of the Summer

We have been busy lately as the school year quickly approaches and Emily will begin her first of 13 years of "educational bliss," and Dennis goes back to work. I'm looking forward to Emily learning and becoming more independent, but am very anxious about losing "my baby" to the big, bad world. But I know that God tells me in His word, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Phil 4:6) So, i know that I will just pray daily for her safety and that the foundation she has in the Word and the haven she has in our Christian home will keep her in His peace and keep her mind pure. But, pray for me because I am fighting the natural tendency to be VERY anxious!!

And if you have any advice or comforting thoughts, please pass them along as "An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up." (Prov 12:25)

Here are some recent photos of some of our festivities of the last few weeks.
