Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are are at home and when you are on the road, when your are going to bed and when your are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Week-at-a-glance

Well, last week seemed to fly by…not really sure where it went, if it weren’t for pictures to verify that it actually happened!  Ever have weeks like those?  Seem to be having a summer like that.  As I cleaned the most recent pictures off of my camera I was reminded of a week in my life that is not to be forgotten.

The week began with baptisms on the beach in St. Joe Michigan at Silver Beach.  An encouraging time of worship in the water as our church body sings praises to the Almighty in a crowded beach with onlookers wondering what in the world is going on…it’s awesome!

During the week the girls decided to have a full tea “pawty” (as only London can say:)).  Full with fresh blueberry muffins, hot tea, cream, sugar, and even boys!  Their brothers that is:)  They were eager to join in their sisters’ game and sit down to a cup of hot tea and fresh treats!

This was London’s tea “pawty” that carried on through the entire day.  She just couldn’t get enough!

We are still working on the big backyard project as we finished the next step leading up to the big patio project this weekend.  We built two stone walls.  This was by far the easiest project to date.  Hopefully by Monday evening the patio will be completed.

We enjoyed a nice visit from Joe’s mom, known by the children as Mamaw, over the weekend.  Thankfully she brought her pickup truck which proved to be very helpful in hauling crushed concrete!
