His name...

Last Sunday was a special day...we got to see our niece baptized in the river...we had a little picnic in their yard beforehand courtesy of Abby and Thomas...chocolate milk, pickles, cheese, and ranch....yummmm! The cousins love the same things!

It was a scorcher...Mallory wanted to get in the water too..I told her it was for people who wanted to give their life to Jesus and live for him....and she said, "But I believe in Jesus!"...We hope and pray that each day she learns more about Him and really chooses one day to live her life for Him...we were so happy to celebrate with Abby...Couldn't get a good pic of Mike while we were there...he was entertaining a little boy who didn't get a nap in the shade of the trees...

We gave Abby this book....even though it's for kids younger than her-- we love reading it as adults! We can't say enough good stuff about it! We love reading it as a family before bed...M is really into it...I love seeing her excitement about God's word...Every story REALLY DOES whisper His name...in the Bible and in all of our "life stories" as well....



It was neat to see her baptized and reflect on all that the Lord has done in my life since I was baptized when I was 13...and this week I was overwhelmed during worship at church looking around at all the people I know there and their life stories and how His Name is whispered during the good and the bad times in their lives...

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

In other news Mr. Man thinks he is Mr. Bigstuff because he can climb up on M's bed now...

And speaking of beds Sir Kingston is quite the snuggler...and quite a "bed potato"! He has to smush his face right up on your arm! :)
