An Interesting Horseback Ride

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #214 Grandpa decided that he wanted to take us all horseback riding.  Munchkin has really, really wanted to go riding for some time, but it just never seemed to work out for various reasons.  Well, this trip, she got the opportunity to go riding while we were up visiting the Grand Canyon.  To say she was excited would be a major understatement.  We arrived at the stables with cloudy skies overhead, but we had high hopes for a great ride. We took some pictures and saddled up for the ride.  Unfortunately, my one niece was a little…

Review: I’m All In by Robert Pierre

Posted in Reviews

I’m All In by Robert Pierre About the artist and album: For Robert, I’m All In is more than the name of his third studio album, released July 26 from thinkaboutit records. It has become Robert’s life motto as he responds to God’s calling to live fully committed to Him. In addition to writing and recording I’m All In and playing on a summer tour, Robert also leads regular Sunday morning worship at his 800-member Orlando, FL church.

Arizona Homeschool Convention

Project 365 – #213We were blessed to be able to attend the Arizona Homeschool Convention while our family was here to visit.  Munchkin was a little torn on what to do as she really wanted to hear Ken Ham speak in person, but she also very much wanted to spend time with her cousins and aunt and uncle.  In the end, hanging out with her cousins won out.  **grin**  Grandpa and Grandpa joined D and I at the convention. Since we didn’t want to miss any of Ken Ham’s sessions, we ended up just ordering the mp3s for the rest…

Campsite Bible Study

Posted in Christian Life, Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #212 The first week that we were out camping, we found ourselves alone at our campsite for our Sunday morning Bible study.  Even though the daytime temps were too hot to comfortably sit outside for extended periods of time, we were able to eat our breakfast and do our Bible study outside at the picnic table.  I’ve always enjoyed being out in nature while studying God’s word.  Since we are working our way through Genesis, it seemed rather fitting. As Munchkin and D finished their breakfast, I read the scripture passages that we were studying that day.…
