Defenders of the Faith Bible Study

A few months ago, our daughter Jessica and her friend
Sarah came up with the idea to have a bible study to
help them defend their faith...thus "Defenders of
the Faith" bible study was born.
Each week we are picking a topic and studying it using
the Bible as the soul authority. These have been pretty
controversial topics...such as Creation vs evolution,
Is the Bible the inspired Word of God?, Calvinism vs
Arminianism, and then this week is covering the topic
of music.
It has been such a blessing seeing the young people,
aged 18 and up, (and us olders, too!) digging thru their
Bibles to see what God says about these topics!! It has
been incredible.
If you have a Friday night open, give us a call and
come visit!! We'd love to have you!!!

Follow-up to Zack's Birthday...

In honor of Zack's 11th birthday, we decided to
take a day trip over to MacDill A.F.B. for some
bowling. Zack loves to bowl!!! We had the whole
bowling alley to ourselves!!!

Party Preparations!!

Our family is making preparations for our 3rd Annual
Veteran's Day party. As Dad and the older children
were in the front yard laying some fresh mulch, they
realized that the littles...under Zack's leadership,
were putting there minds and bodies to help with the
landscaping designs!!
I just love the teamwork exhibited by these precious
little ones!!!
I love them so much!!!
