Verses of Encouragement

2011-09-06T05:10:00.000-07:00

Memory verses: I call these the let-us verses. Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Happy Anniversary

2011-09-02T15:00:00.000-07:00

Happy anniversary my love of 29 years. I love to care for your garden because it reminds me of you; beautiful, faithful and fruitful. :-)

Gulf Shores

Extended family at Gulf Shores. We celebrated Julia's 14th birthday and surprised her with this trip. :-)

Mississippi Kite

2010-05-14T13:29:00.000-07:00

We have Mississippi kites nesting in our big tree on the end of the driveway. At first we noticed them circling around the house. One of them landed in our yard and was scouting around. After a few weeks we noticed them carrying branches etc. to the tree. The nest is about 30ft from the ground at the top of the tree but well hidden from all sides. It is very hard to see but you can hear them.

Then and Now

2010-05-10T15:33:00.000-07:00

It was mothers day and Beth and I wanted to duplicate a portrait of ourselves that we had done in our college years by a friend in my photography class. It was framed then displayed in every house we've lived in since then. We had been looking at recreating this photo for about 10 years now so it was overdue. We made a date of it and had a lot of fun together. As a matter of fact, because

2010-02-08T00:00:00.000-08:00

A letter I wrote to my family.I didn't want to fall asleep last night. It was all a blur. The New Orleans Saints won the superbowl. I watched it on TV with my wife and two of our children. We were at a fellow church member's house who hosted the party for her teenage daughter and the church youth group. It was rather loud and I made sure that my voice was heard when the touchdowns and field

From our back door in the morning

2010-01-26T23:24:00.000-08:00

From our back door we can view the sunrise this time of year. What a peaceful view while reading God's word.

Winter Pets

2010-01-11T21:49:00.000-08:00

As the winter goes on our pets are not quite used to it. We let them in at night when the tempsdip below freezing. They are a hoot. I had to take some photos of animals being let in from the cold for an article. I told one of the editors I can create a shot that I know will work. :-) So I knew Precious our cat would want to go out for the night and wouldn't come back till the next morning.

On Frozen Pond

2010-01-07T21:15:00.000-08:00

Our pond filled to the maximum due to all the rain we received and then it got really cold for a long time. (For Mississippi that is) It was around 20 degrees for about a week. We had to let the animals in during the night. The pond started to freeze on the edges and then toward the middle. After about two weeks of below freezing weather our pond was frozen over. The center was about an inch

Blue Moon

2010-01-01T10:43:00.000-08:00

Blue MoonWe had a blue moon this month. Last day of the calendar year 2009. Next blue moon for the last day of the year will be 2028. A Blue Moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. Usually months have only one full moon, but occasionally a second one sneaks in. Full moons are separated by 29 days, while most months are 30 or 31 days long; so it is possible to fit two full moons

A Christmas Message

2009-12-24T07:52:00.000-08:00

As I pondered over sharing a message with my family about Christmas. I wanted to get a new feel for what the Christmas season is all about. Yes, the birth of Christ is the reason for the season but I wanted a fresh point of view. I wanted a life's lesson.I read a devotional in Crosswalk this morning that helped me see some things from a different perspective. The perspective from the

Sunday 11/15 was a fun day!

2009-11-15T07:52:00.000-08:00

Before church, Julia woke us up to remind her mother that she (Beth) would straighten her (Julia's) hair if she (Julia) woke up early enough...Thanks honey! It was OK though. I like being alerted that it is 6:30 in the morning by a cute girl anyway. So I thought a "before" photo was in order. (She is not going to like me posting her photo.)After church we watched the Saints game... they

Robotics Competition

2009-10-31T10:42:00.000-07:00

Michael has been involved in a local robotics competition lately, here are some photos from the competition from a few weeks ago. The homeschool team was named Eclipse, the team mascot was the ninja platypus. Each school team had to come up with a Team name, have a booth representing their team and their robot, build a robot and program it to run certain tasks for an obstacle course. Sounds

Car Show

2009-10-31T10:00:00.000-07:00

Along with the robotics competition, a car show was going on outside in a nearby parking lot. So during the lunch break we had something to kill a little time.

Rain Rain

2009-10-13T17:43:00.001-07:00

The rain has been here for three weeks and it only stopped a few days in between. I've heard rumors that we've gotten 35 inches of rain in 6 months; 17 of those are for the month of September alone. I have to remember that there is sunshine on the other side of the clouds. The good side to this is that I can get a lot of housework accomplished.(Photo by Julia Thompson)

Still Just a Kid, Thank You!

2009-10-11T18:14:00.000-07:00

We had Phillip over for his birthday cake and celebration (On Oct 11). We were very thankful that he had another birthday to celebrate. A broken collar bone 4 weeks ago from a bicycle accident and a serious auto accident the night of his birthday kept us on our toes and praying for him. The car was totaled but not a scratch on any of the people involved. Thank you Lord!

The Ten Commandments

2009-10-10T00:10:00.000-07:00

Today I reflected on the 10 commandments in Exodus 20. I've been going through a time in my life where I feel I need to post on my blog the core of my belief and of my family. After all, life is getting shorter each day that passes and I sense I just need to polish the basics of my life.Exodus 20:3-17 The Ten Commandments 1 And God spoke all these words: 2 "I am the LORD your God, who

A Strong Family Life

2009-09-09T08:47:00.000-07:00

(Taken from a commentary in my Bible NKJ version)Building strong family life is always a priority in serving God.The family is the oldest and most basic of human institutions. In both the Israelite culture of the Old Testament and the Hellenistic culture of the New Testament, the household might consist of parents and children, relatives from several

Prarie Arts Festival

2009-09-05T02:42:00.000-07:00

We had fun at the Prairie Arts Festival. Tom Marlin and I ran in the 5k race. The kids parked cars in the church parking lot. It was pretty much the same as it has been for the 10 years I've participated but still fun.

Yellow Jacket Problem

2009-09-03T17:57:00.000-07:00

Back in September we had a yellow jacket problem. Luckily we had a close friend who had a bee suit and knew what to do. He told us that yellow jackets normally nest in the ground and that nesting in our attic was unusual. He waited for nightfall since that was when most of them would be in the nest and less active, then sprayed them with Bengal roach spray. Must have got them all because we

Alligator Nest?

2009-08-23T15:18:00.000-07:00

Late afternoon at the refuge. Beth spotted this gator close to shore. I think it had a nest and was keeping close watch. After reading information about nesting season.. it could be a possibility.Alligators breed once a year. Courtship begins in early spring and reaches a peak during May. Males bellow in choruses or chain reactions to advertise their prowess and attract potential mates, but

Love and Respect

2009-08-15T16:53:00.000-07:00

Beth and I went to a marriage conference recently. The message was on love and respect based on Ephesians 5:33. The conference was jammed with information and the speakers delivered a message that is almost forgotten in today's society. Husbands should love their wives but wives should also respect their husbands. Say what? Yes, we've all heard the submission verses for our wives but they

Blueberry Pickin

2009-07-11T02:03:00.000-07:00

We went blueberry picking a few miles from the house. I love this time of year when I can enjoy fresh blueberries on my pancakes and crepes. The last day to pick was a few days ago. We picked a total of 13lbs in a few visits.

On to Louisville, KY

2009-06-24T00:14:00.000-07:00

After Lexington and Petersburg we drove on to Louisville. We didn't have a place to camp so we stayed at a hotel. We had time to look things over and plan our next day. Beth is really good at this. I planned my next morning months in advance. This was the highlight for me. I have been wanting to visit the Louisville extreme skatepark ever since it was built back in 2005. I took Michael with

Creation Museum Visit

2009-06-23T03:13:00.000-07:00

The next day our stop was in Petersburg, KY. We visited the creation museum and it was very nice. Everyone was very helpful and the tour was laid out carefully so that everyone could see and hear what was going on. As I had mentioned earlier in a fairly long post. (See, "Now You Know") This museum is dedicated to explain creation science. It was the main reason we went on our travels for this

Cumberland Falls and Boonesboro

2009-06-21T14:52:00.000-07:00

The next stop along the way was Boonesboro but on the way there we stopped at Cumberland falls to enjoy the scenery. When we finally arrived at Boonesboro we were very tired and it was late in the day. We were ready to leave next day and would have not enjoyed touring the lock and dam museum or the fort if Beth didn't forget her cell pone. Funny how God worked that out.

Camping in the Smokies

2009-06-19T18:08:00.000-07:00

We camped in the smokies on the first leg of our journey. I took some photos and enjoyed the rest of the trip. I always come back thinking I didn't take enough good photos but I have to enjoy myself sometimes even if it means I have no visual record. One of my favorite cartoons says it all.

Some waterslide fun

2009-06-13T17:31:00.000-07:00

I remembered how much fun we had with Tee and Phillip when they were young. So I had to make our playground slide a wet slide and Julia and Michael joined in on the fun.

Babysitting

2009-06-12T17:19:00.000-07:00

Beth and I babysat our friend's children and they were very sweet. We had lots of fun. It made us remember how much work it was when our kids were in diapers and toddlers. Beth had plenty of help, Julia and Elizabeth Salmon helped out tremendously. They were so photogenic. I guess it's because their mother is a photographer too.

Julia's birthday week

2009-06-04T19:15:00.000-07:00

Gray Rat Snake

2009-05-15T02:20:00.000-07:00

Beth found this snake when she went for a walk Friday afternoon, so she called for Michael and I to come look. It is a gray rat snake approximately 4.5 ft long. The only photo we have of the snake's length was of me holding it while it was relaxed. I look really short... I wonder who took the photo?

Don't know where she got it or where she put it after she was done. We get surprises like deer legs from time to time, but none like this one.

This was an interesting project. One of my friends Tom Marlin was pouring concrete for his driveway. He did most of the work himself but needed help when the concrete truck arrived to pour. So he called upon his friends and we helped as best we could. It was pretty easy but we had to work very fast. For a first time I thought we did pretty good.

2008-03-10T09:31:00.001-07:00

I found out that these ducks were hooded mergansers. They migrate north. I hope they stick around for a few more days so I can get closer next time. From across the pond these ducks are beautiful.

Pond is getting Deeper

The pond was deep enough to tempt Michael and Joseph to try out the inflatable kayak. It was a beautiful day.

Ice on the Pond

2008-02-27T07:00:00.000-08:00

As I was approaching the pond this morning, I scared a flock of black birds. It must have been a little below freezing last night because I saw a little bit of ice on the top of the water.

Morning Glow

2008-01-25T06:30:00.000-08:00

This is what it was like this morning around 6:30am. A view from my back door. I really don't like the fact that I have cleared land in my backyard until I get views like this. It reminds me of Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world, Gods invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are

Pond starts to hold some water

2008-01-17T13:05:00.000-08:00

In October we had the broken dam fixed and created a walking path around the pond. It has been raining regularly for the past two months. We are hoping it will be full this year. The dogs really love to play and we like to play in it too.Julia found this clump of frog eggs. I am not sure the tadpoles will survive the winter but I am sure we will find out soon enough.Beth teasing

Family Portraits

2007-12-18T14:10:00.000-08:00

This family portrait with our dogs and one of our cats was a gift from God. Everything worked out for that day. I am a photographer but getting my family together for portraits is tough. This time we had an extra challenge adding the pets. Sam was wanting to chase the cat and Maggie wanted in on the fun. We got a neighbor to stand behind the camera and take pics.Phillip, Michael, Tee, Julia
