A Week in Glasgow

This past week I had a chance to go "Home". . .well, at least to the place where I was born. ;) It's always a privilege to do this, and to meet up with different friends. It was a SUPER busy week! But I had a blast.

Lake days are ALWAYS a bonus, and greatly appreciated.

I'm glad Harvey has some toys he lets me enjoy, too!

Although the visit was short and sweet, I still appreciated seeing Lyle and Carla!

Eugene's. . .need I say more?

Another toy, this time shared with Kyla!

Hmm. . .not the best pic, but pretty fun!

We survived!

Victor's Crown

Yet another incredible song that I just heard. We sang it at our church tonight, and I couldn't wait to get home and learn it better. May the words speak life and freedom into your hearts!
And in case you need the lyrics, 'cause they're incredible:
"Victor's Crown"

You are always fighting for us
Heaven's angels all around
My delight is found in knowing
That You wear the Victor's crown
You're my help and my defender
You're my Saviour and my friend
By Your grace I live and breathe
To worship You

At the mention of Your greatness
In Your Name I will bow down
In Your presence fear is silent
For You wear the Victor's crown
Let Your glory fill this temple
Let Your power overflow
By Your grace I live and breathe
To worship You

Hallelujah
You have overcome
You have overcome
Hallelujah
Jesus You have overcome the world

You are ever interceding
As the lost become the found
You can never be defeated
For You wear the Victor's crown
You are Jesus the Messiah
You're the Hope of all the world
By Your grace I live and breathe
To worship You

Hallelujah
You have overcome
You have overcome
Hallelujah
Jesus You have overcome the world

Every high thing must come down
Every stronghold shall be broken
You wear the Victor's crown
You overcome
You overcome

At the cross the work was finished
You were buried in the ground
But the grave could not contain You
For You wear the Victor's crown

Hallelujah
You have overcome
You have overcome
Hallelujah
Jesus You have overcome the world

Every high thing must come down
Every stronghold shall be broken
You wear the Victor's crown
You overcome
You overcome

A Promising Sky

I had a longish layover in Denver the other day and caught this incredible double rainbow (look close) over all the United airplanes.  To me, it was just another remind that God TRULY is in control of this whole work situation, even if it seems like it's chaotic.  The final picture always reminds me of the day Jesus is coming back to call His people to Himself.  Make me ready.

A Visit to Texas

I finally got a chance to head to Texas to visit friends just for fun! I loved it!

James and Katie, new friends I met through mutual friends.  James is the pastor at this church.  I thought it was very picturesque.

I went to a place called "Elijah's Retreat" and met a little goat that had just been born the Sunday before I got there.  She didn't have a name yet, so I had the privilege of naming her:  Oreo. 

This is the place that Coach and Marilyn chose to give in response to Coach's memorial.  It was fun to finally see the place I had heard so much about.

Unbeknownst to me, it was also a BIRTHDAY day for Valerie, Sarah, and Mike's mom.  We went to eat at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant--MEXICAN!!  YUM!!

We had some good laughs, especially speaking Spanish, German AND English during the meal.

At the end of it, Heather pointed out that I truly was in Texas.  I looked up and saw this.  Yup.

I also went to a Friday Night Football Game in Rusk (for a little bit, but forgot my camera) and experienced what  a small town in Texas does to fill up their evenings.  Wow.  Talk about a separate culture just their own.  I thought I was in the middle of a movie!!
